- Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is sure to please.
- Although I am not supposed to copy the above review of this wine, it does cover its bases quite well. I have to say that when I smelled it, there was a definite crispness to it, I could tell it would be refreshing from the start. Upon tasting it, I immediately got a fruity taste and it was a little on the dry side. It was not too sweet, which is good in my opinion (because I can drink more of it without feeling sick!). You may have noticed in my first post I mentioned not liking white wines, but ironically, this was the bottle of wine I chose to buy at the end of the tasting. Diversifying!!
- We did not have this wine with food. I didn't see any food at least, no crackers, nothing. So I assume the Vintage Cellar just doesn't do that kind of thing, at least not every time.
This is my first ever blog and will be a documented history of my wine experiences over the course of my last semester here at Virginia Tech. It is required for my Geography of Wine course with John Boyer but I plan to use it for my own personal enjoyment beyond the lifespan of this course as well.

Vintage Cellar Tasting - Encostas do Lima
I am under the impression that I should do a separate post for each wine I taste each week. So let's start this out in order to avoid confusion.
