Silk & Spice.
One of my favorite new wine discoveries is this red blend from Portugal. Luscious, juicy and smooth with spice.
Using one of my glasses purchased a while ago from cb2. Stemless wine glasses remind me of when I visited Portugal’s neighbor Spain a long time ago. At the restaurant I was at with fellow college classmates, there were two similar stemless glasses at each place setting only one was larger than the other. I started a good humored argument with the server saying that the larger of the two glasses should be used for the wine, not the ice water. After a few valid points were made from each side, we both laughed. I then handed the server the larger glass to fill with ice water. The other glass was filled with wine and then repeatedly refilled. It is forever a fond memory as I spoke entirely in Spanish with the server. What an absolutely wonderful trip that was. Love how certain things remind one of a treasured memory. All of the memories then come flooding back.
Enjoying the wine tonight with a Mediterranean salad of olives, red onion, cucumber, feta cheese and tomatoes. Bread to dip in olive oil mixed with garlic, sea salt, fresh ground black pepper and crushed red pepper. Baklava for dessert. Salud!
I found this wine at the wine and spirits shop of Lunds & Byerly’s but saw online it is also available at Total Wine.
