Portugal is giving us further reason to revel in the summer weather and it goes beyond pleasing their fans in World Cup soccer:
the wines and tastes of Portugal are now being featured at the first ever Vinho Verde week in NYC.
The Vinho Verde Regional Viticultural Commission (CVRVV) presents the first Vinho Verde Week, June 21-27, 2010. During the week, top restaurants
in New York City will celebrate the food-friendly nature of Vinho Verde by offering special pairing menus and by-the-glass selections.
Additionally, participating retailers will host Vinho Verde tastings and offer discounts on Vinho Verde purchases.
New Yorkers can enjoy these specials during the first week of summer, and they can discover firsthand why the fruity aromas and light, crisp, vivacious flavors of
Vinho Verde make the wines ideal for the warmer months. Vinho Verde wines have balanced acidity and are light in alcohol and calorie content, making them enjoyable
on their own or when paired with a fresh summer dish.
