Are you looking for the ultimate in summer wine refreshment with a crazy-low price? Sure you are! And so am I. So allow me to beat the drum for Vinho Verde*. It’s a light, slightly fizzy, fresh, lower-alcohol delight to sip all summer long.
Would I call it a porch-pounder? Absolutely. And I do so during my interview with Actress/Writer/Singer Sarah Rudinoff. As part of the Ambassador Project at On The Boards, she is one of the many performers in NW New Works I have talked to, and plied with wine, for my Side Show: New Works New Wines series. (View previous interviews with a trio of performers AND get five more summertime wine selections.)
Sarah and I discuss her singing the National Anthem at a Seahawks game, technology at the Toronto airport, and drinking porch-pounders on a porch in Portugal.
*Note: Vinho Verde is actually a wine region where you’ll encounter more than just light and fizzy white wines. But the vast majority will be exactly as I describe above. If you want to explore the region, ask your friendly wine shop person to find some unique bottles.
