It is a good white wine from Portugal, refreshing for me.
She loves it cause its slightly fizzy and low in ABV. Can generally be had for less than $10 a bottle.
In my glass tonight is a concoction which I stumbled upon accidentally. Early in my professional career, there was a coffee maker in the office and secretary saw to it that there was always fresh coffee. I drink my coffee black, and I had my cup on my desk with about half the cup remaining. At some point during the day, I went to the drink machine and bought a Diet Coke, came back to my desk, and without looking, poured some of the cold Diet Coke into the cup which (by this time) contained cold back coffee. I did not realize what I had done until I tasted it and it was great! Sort of like a Cream Soda flavor. I have been drinking it ever since.

Was at a wake recently and a woman was mixing Rose wine and Coke( diet) which I thought was a strange mix. She said it was bloody lovely and drank it all the time.
It shows that taste is personal to everyone . Only you know what you like.

Boatboy approved as well. Though I've never seen it at Costco, it does come up a couple times a year on Last Bottle and I usually grab a six-pack when it does.
I've made green tomatoe wine wine that tastes very similar to vinho verde...
Holy cow amazing QPR. This wine would sell for 2X if made 500 miles south! Trust me I know! LOL
Sorta like the younger generation in Spain with Red wine & Coke. (Hope that makes you feel younger
)
This is a belated birthday present from my younger son, and a thank you for moving furniture from his apartment into his new house. It makes the shoulder and back aches worth it!
We will sample it after dinner tonight!

Last time my son in law gave me a bottle of Scotch it was an 18 year old The Glenlivet. The note he attached said, I tried to get you a Scotch old enough to legally drink, this was close.
We did, indeed, sample after dinner. While this scotch doesn't have the "wow factor" others on my shelf have, the nose is rich and it went down very smoothly. I recommend it.This is a belated birthday present from my younger son, and a thank you for moving furniture from his apartment into his new house. It makes the shoulder and back aches worth it!

Side note -- Scotland is supposedly the largest buyer of used Bourbon barrels.
