My other half and I have been enjoying Vinho Verde for almost 20 years now...affordable, easy-drinking (ahem...even right out of the bottle, ha!) and we love the tiny bit of frizzle it has. It's almost ruined me on other whites...they seem *flat* by comparison.
Several other bloggers I follow have gone sober over the years, and more and more they keep bringing it up, to the point I'm ready to stop following them. I understand it works well for many, but I don't appreciate the subtle sanctimonious tone toward us who do still enjoy "a bit of the tipple".
Vinho Verde is great, a really fun wine. What I've also learned since living just an hour away from the region is how many more styles they make, not just the spritzy stuff. It's been an eye opener. Merry Christmas, Sher!
Thank you for this!
