I got
to taste a new wine by the glass at Market Restaurant and Bar called Paco &
Lola, Albariño, 2009.
Albariño is a white wine grape from Spain. It is grown in the northwest
corner of Spain in the Rías Baixas region. It is also grown in Portugal, where
it is called Alvarinho. It is known to be a very aromatic wine, smelling of
orange zest, peaches and orange blossoms.
Paco
& Lola has a fantastic nose! It smells of crisp floral notes and tastes clean
and very bright with hints of green apples and orange citrus. The acidity makes
it a great wine to pair with food and gives it freshness with an excellent
mouth feel. Pairs well with shellfish, seafood, sushi and zesty salads. A
bottle of the 2009 Paco & Lola Albariño costs around $20.
