Vinho Verde

Today I get into a bottle that was gifted to me which is found in Trader Joe's at a $4.99 price point! It's a vinho verde from a small region in northern Portugal. In Portugal, vinho verde is super popular and is known as a 'portuguese wine specialty'.    Who doesn't love a cheap fizzy wine on a hot day?  Check this episode out as I get into the history behind vinho verde, how they make it, what makes it "fizzy" and find out my thoughts on this particular wine I open up today.   Today it's short, sweet and fizzy.     1:55 - Trader Joe's wine 2:45 - Regional blend 3:20 - Summertime wine 3:45 - Artificially carbonated 4:15 - Open the bottle up to taste 5:00 - Tasting notes 5:55 - Refreshing for a hot day 7:07 - Low alcoholic beverage 7:35 - My rating on the wine     Today's wine: Espiral Vinho Verde $4.99  https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/espiral-vinho-verde-047536   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
