It’s summertime and that’s a great time for light, lemony Portugese Vinho Verde wine. It’s a perfect pair with seafoods and salads. It’s not expensive; in fact some retailers sell it as low as $6 a bottle.
Henry interviews Viña Santa Carolina Winemaker Consuelo Marin, from Santiago, Chile. She says it’s a discipline to produce the best grapes in the best area. She tells how she discovered that some of her Merlot stock was actually Carminiere vines. Her winery has developed a new Piñot Noir. And a new reserve product, VSC, is unveiled by Consuelo during the interview. If you enjoy wine, you will love the wines of Santa Carolina. A mushroom risotto prepared by South Miami’s “Two Chefs” restaurant was the perfect wine-tasting accompaniment.
