This week, my wine-tasting group went to the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA for a free wine tasting! We had the opportunity to try five wines, so I will detail my experience with each over the next few weeks!

| Gatao Vinho Verde |
Online Notes: "Clear, light yellow. Slightly fizzy. Young and fruity. Delicate and smooth, fresh and fruity. It is medium-dry wine to be drunk young." [PortugalVineyards.com]
Wine Folly Notes: We had a white-style Vinho Verde that certainly had the touch of spritz mentioned. I got the lightness and apple, but none of the other primary flavors. [WineFolly.com]
My Notes: This wine had a delicate aroma accented by hints of melon and pear. The pear indeed came through in the taste, along with notes of apple and honey. Overall, this is a light, sweet wine that can be enjoyed by itself or with a light meal. From the 5-wine tasting, this was one of the two wines that my girlfriend bought for both of us to share later.
I did not try this wine with food.
