Put This in your Glass and Drink It

Bodega Del Desierto La Pampa 25/5 Sauvignon Blanc Alto Valle Del Rio Colorado.
Sure it’s a mouthful to say, and also a delicious mouthful of wine to sip! Just call it the 25/5 Sauv Blanc, it is easier to remember. So delightfully refreshing and squeaky clean with it’s delicate floral, stone fruit, and mineral laden aromas, though not overtly intense. Bright acidity and a luscious, mouthwatering finish make this perfect for sipping alone, with fruit and cheeses, seafood, simply roasted or grilled chicken or whatever is on the menu. Makes a great beverage before the meal while waiting for the grill to heat up, or waiting for guests to arrive. Almost a cross between the best of New Zealand and California, with snappy acid and plenty of fruit to balance it out. Oh, and having California’s very own Paul Hobbs as consulting winemaker doesn’t hurt! So if you find yourself driving down the western edge of the desert route to Patagonia, stop in at the town known as 25 de Mayo (the 25th of May) in Puelén, La Pampa, Argentina. You’ll be thirsty by then.
In the meantime, uncover the grill, wipe down the lawn chairs, string up the hammock, take a break, and have a glass of this...
