Portuguese Alvarinho + Daylight Savings

from Sip & Grow The Podcast · host Nicole Di Pasquale

Come with me on the Portuguese Alvarinho ride. I came across this white wine in Total Wine and was instantly intrigued by the label. Turns out Portugal's leading premium port producer (Symington Family) collaborated with winemaker Anselmo Mendes (Vinho Verde producer) to create the brand Contacto.  They created this joint venture in order to develop premium wines from Moncao and Melgaco (northern Portugal).    I get into this producer, the brand details and their winemaking process that created the delicious bottle I open up to try today. Daylight savings comes up since we just went back an hour and I explain how we can us it to our advantage.  Each day it's important to seek progress not perfection and the best way to make sure progress continues to happen for you is through consistency.   Tune in now to try this Alvarinho from Portugal with me!     1:40 - Introduction to today's wine 2:45 - Anselmo Mendes & the Symington Family 3:15 - Top premium port producers in Portugal 5:10 - Cultivate excellent grapes 5:55 - Follow the plan, not your mood 6:45 - Get up an hour earlier 8:00 - Be consistent 8:40 - Seek progress not perfection 9:45 - Get it done on time 10:25 - Take advantage of daylight savings 10:50 - Visual and olfactory analysis 11:15 - Taste the wine 12:25 - Rating of the wine   Today's wine: Contacto Alvarinho Mendes & Symington 2023 $21 GET WINE HERE    Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast   Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale    Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
