What I hate doing is always drinking the same types of
wines. Granted this is great when it's something like an
Amarone, Port, or something else that is very lush, but one
of the greatest aspects of wine is the chance to always try
something in a grape that you haven't had before. This
time around, I was introduced to a wine that is a
combination of two grapes; Ugni-Blanc(70%) and Colombard
(30%).
The wine itself is a little lively, even when served at
room temperature, and has balanced acidity and a light
body. The flavors are an assortment of citrus and fruits
that caress your tastebuds (I didn't want to say exotic
fruits, because that in itself is a most misunderstood
term).
I think that this wine is great for many dishes and many
occasions, even dipping into being fine for game and red
meat (defy convention, drink what you like).
