2005 Casal Garcia Vinho Verde

Subject to a bit of contretemps at the Zinc Brasserie, we finally agreed this was a fine summer wine. Effervescent and light. Our brash complaint about the room temperature wine service was eventually answered via a little tip from the sommelier: adding a salt shaker's worth to the ice bucket and inverting the bottle for a rapid cool down. Once at the right temp, the CG stood up through a wide variety of entrees. This brought on a reflection on improvements to Cascais and Monte Estoril and the girls discussion of clothes procurement (ooohhh). After bidding a fond farewell to Princess La, we dusted off to Total Wine and purchased a few more vinho verdes for tomorrows sailing extravaganza. The tension increases: which one will end up as the R&B OddatSea Wine of the Month!!!
