Well, hello there sexy. Yeah I'm talkin' to you. You are sexy. Say it with me: "I am a sexy animal". Feels good doesn't it? Wait, before we get carried away, maybe I just have wine goggles on. 'Cuz I just polished off a bottle of killer wine that you've never heard of. Betcha. Even you, Gants!
Let me introduce to your fizzled taste buds (it's Sunday, we know how y'all party on the weekends!) the 2005 model of Cosecha from Veña Godeval. Yummy. First A couple facts - 1) This is a white wine (people in the know would say 'blanco'). So, I'll say Blanco, you can keep calling it White Wine. Oops, I just got snarky...I hear I get that way sometimes. 2) This Blanco hails from Spain, one of my fave fave fave regions these days. Where in Spain? Hell if I know, somewhere named Galicia, I think in Northwest Spain. Whatever, Google Map it if you care that much. This isn't geography class.
So what makes this wine yummy?
It's good. That's it...JHC, you need more detail?! My word isn't good enough anymore? Fine then:
Well, characteristic of many Blancos, this Cosecha has a crisp minerality that is just so fresh and clean. Wait, isn't that an Outkast tune? Anyhoo, the Cosecha has bright pear flavors, a little green apple, with a very very subtle pine note. No shit! The acidity is perfect, not so much it makes you pucker but tight enough to make you smack your lips.
Where to find this wine? Well, our buddy Brian Reccow, who started Thirsty Bear and is the owner of Sol y Lago in Tahoe City, gave us a bottle. So I think you need to drag your carcass here to SyL and get yerself some. Rockin' tapas, killer tacos, get the SyL Margarita, and the...wait for it...BEST chips & homemade salsa on the Lake. Get there Pronto! Chill - we're gonna blog SyL next!
