Summer Wine

Isn't grapefruit a citrus fruit?

A guide to summer wines - Wine - Salon.com

Vinho Verde from Portugal, an elegant, dry white wine that is redolent of grapefruit and citrus, with just a bit of spritz for a refreshing cleansing of the palate.

Vinho Verde is the ultimate Summerlover's wine -- only about 9 to 10 percent alcohol, and not afraid of an ice cube or two, or even a little sparkling water for a magnificent wine spritzer. Vinho Verde is the reigning monarch of the land of ABC (Anything but Chardonnay), and she is a ruler who favors almost unbelievably progressive taxation. Vinho Verde sells for about $5 to $9 per bottle, a truly great wine value, so buy a case or two for the summer. You want to drink this charming wine as young as possible, so look for the 2008 or, even better, the 2009 (often not an actual vintage, but the year the wine was bottled -- look for it on the back label in tiny type). Easy wines to find: Gazela, Avaleda and Casal Garcia, among several others.

I have a great summer wine! It's fruity, wet, sweet and is great for those who really aren't into the taste of wine - It's called a Moscato D'Asti wine. Tintero. It's delicious. Almost like a dessert/champagney wine. My favorite!

Generally when speaking wine grapefruit is a distinct flavor from citrus. One of the smells associated with wine tasting is baby diaper.

After swishing this wine across my palate, I find it absurd, yet flacid...

and for the record...

This sounds great. I adore 'champagney' wine!.
