Just a minor correction to the text. You wrote "Made entirely from Alvarinho (what the Portuguese call Albariño)". In fact Portuguese call it "Alvarinho", "Albariño" it's how the Spanish call it. Hint: In Portuguese it's not used the 'ñ' we have changed it to 'nh'. Hope you find more excellent wines from Portugal! I’m Portuguese so I love to see (good) reviews of Portuguese wine!

Just kidding. I just opened a bottle of that Vino Verde last night (actually, it was 1 a.m. but it felt like night time) and it was absolutely surprising with its effervescence and crisp minerality. I had to stop drinking it because I knew I had to make a meal to compliment the wine's playfulness. It was just too good to be sipping while watching Tivo'd American Idol on an empty stomach. But that's a lot of information. Point is, you're absolutely right. Now is the time for light wines. Peace out. Who’s that dashing figure at the top of your story?
