wine o'clock in Me

Hey great day. Sun is high in sky I'm  drinking white .  "Tapena", Verdajo from Spain is an appealing white , a blend of Verdajo and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, mmmm floral aromas, with ripe pear and sweet fig flavors leading to a lingering aftertaste. The Verdajo wine is popular in Spain with the bistro hopping , tapas(small plates communal style) crowd. Pena is slang for a group of close friends. Tapena is the ideal compliment for an evening of food and conversation among close friends. The price at 7.99 won't break the bank. 
It's always wine o'clock somewhere!!

wine o'clock in Me

I am inspired to write a blog about wine because I am lucky enough to sample wines every day, and think the stories in wine will be great to share.  I will strive to inform and tempt my fellow bloggers. My wines are mostly made from single vineyard grapes ,estate bottled. Tonight I am drinking "Terra Andina"  Sauvignon Blanc from Chili. The Italian winemaker believes in fruit forward, balanced wines that compliment food. Ripe and pure crisp tangerine and peach flavors, no oak, stainless steel fermentation delivers a wonderfully soft clean taste. I am eating spicy scallop sushi rolls, the wine pairs very well with spicy foods and seafood. Terra Andina website is all about fun, sun and the natural beauty that is Chili. Price is reasonable @8.99 per 750ml.
Its always Wine o'clock somewhere!!  Stay well!
