I am sure that most of us have served fresh fruity lightweight stuff lightly chilled.
We knew what we where doing, and chose the perfect wine do do it with.
But this evening I met up with an old friend. We had a plan. An indoor sort of barbeque plan.
So roasted veg, grilled fish, and meze things happened.
The wine she brought was something from Puglia. Cheap and cheerful, but hyper, hyper chilled.
I was slightly worried when I saw the condensation dripping from the bottle.
But it worked! I am still trying to get my head round it!
If I was blindfolded, I think I would have thought it was some strange regional white grape, from somewhere hot and sunny. One of those strange varieties that still maintains a level of healthy acidity and fruit, grown in soils that might be volcanic.
Or something...
*I might be a bit drunk. More than three glasses means I will agree to the most preposterous ideas.
