you never said if you liked the Vinho Verde...? uh-oh...unless that was on purpose
We are having spaghetti w/ marinara sauce & zucchini cut up in for dinner tonight. We am going to have the 2004 Georges Duboeuf Beaujolais Villages Flower Label with the dinner.

Yes I did! Sorry I've been busy at the hospital and haven't kept up with the boards as much as usual. Drank it over the course of Sunday while reading mr. muo's traveling couch. It was raining here so it was a perfect day for a good wine and a good book. Thanks for the suggestion. Keep em' comming.

You know I often find that (wine better after being open a day) I'm sure it has something to do with oxygen exposure.. I remember once I opened a bottle on recommendation of a friend and downright did not like it. I failed to toss it and decided to have a glass the second day and it was fine, quite good in fact. (wish I could rememner it's name - it was a red)

You are correct. Many of the good wines frequently require a couple hours minimum of breathing to reveal their true character. This is especially true of the great Bordeaux wines. Gosh, I wish I had a few bottles left of the 1982 Branaire Ducru. Never, have I tasted a wine that would compare to it. It was worth every penny of the $750 or so it could have sold for.
Side note to mehastings.......Care to share with us what wines you have in your Cellar.

right now I am having another Portuguese wine....Grao Vasco (white wine)....named for the famous Portuguese painter Grao Vasco (1480-1543), the pseudonym of Vasco Fernandes. Good with seafood and salads...a little dry, but not too shabby...

You are talking wine, are you not.steffee said:Yeah sofia, you're not quite sure which you prefer, are you? You need to double check.
I have tasted 3 Spanish white wines recently, all bought at World Market:
Nora - $13.99
Las Brisas - $9.99
Marques de Caceres Roija (White) - $6.99
They were all very good and I will buy them all again. I preferred them though in the order I listed them. In these cases the better wine was the most expensive.
A thought, when discussing wines, would it be beneficial (appropriate) if we listed where we bought them and the cost???
