THIS BOTTLE TAUGHT ME…
Don’t judge a wine by its color.
This Vinho Verde looked intense. Deep, dark, almost inky.
But the wine in the glass? Not nearly as big and bold as its color suggested.
And here’s the part that surprised me even more: Vinho Verde can be red.
You might know Vinho Verde as the light, refreshing Portuguese white that begs to be served chilled. But the Vinho Verde region produces red and rosé wines too.
Sometimes the bottle (or its color) doesn’t tell the whole story.
Drink Curious.
