Hello Jose,

While I love Vinho Verde, I felt I have been spending too much time talking about Portuguese wines. VV can and does go well with chicken wings and several other classic fatty dishes. Next time, I promise!

I did want to update the page with my suggested pairing of Hawkins Cheezies and my '96 Brunello. Simply fantastic, the wine cut the excessive sweetness of the cheezie and the cheese flavouring was a good compliment to the intense and well rounded flavours of the wine. I will point out that the '96 Brunello was an incredible bottle of wine and I am thrilled that I have 5 more slumbering in the cellar.

Cheers,

Tom

Tom....Tom....Tom....almost 4 minutes of fact and fiction surrounding Super Bowl parties and not 1 mention of Vinho Verde!Some bubbles, some acid, some residual sugar and tastes just as good from a beer mug as it does from Riedel. Guaranteed to make even the severest lager lout happy.
a sia saide!
