Today we've got another white from Portugal ... just not finding (at least in MY humble opinion!!) that quality wine for under $10 from this particular country.
SOGRAPE GAZELA VINHO VERDE
LCBO 141432 750 mL bottle
A couple days ago I reviewed a wine from Portugal that I bought because of the bottle ... today I found almost that same wine in a "regular" wine bottle. Though it had a much more unique name - Gazela. This wine was also pale in color with little aroma but was again fresh and light ... though with a slightly more "zesty" finish in the mouth. I mentioned that the last one would be bettered paired on the deck in the summer in the hot sun ... I would take this one first because of the more pronounced spritzy finish and lower alcohol content for that summertime sipping ... this is one I would enjoy on that summer afternoon when looking for a refreshing sip ... I'll give this one a 7/10 as I will have this available for my deck this summer ... but only there!
Price: $ 8.95 , Wine, White Wine, 9.0% Alcohol/Vol., Sugar Content : 1

Confession ... I bought this one because of the bottle. I was walking down the isle and saw this squat little bottle in the corner of the shelf ...
LANCERS WHITE
LCBO 78949 | 750 mL bottle
My suspicions on this wine started when there was a small "ppst" that escaped when I twisted the cap off. They were confirmed when I poured a small amount in my glass and watched as small bubbles formed. Then came the sip ... soda pop was the first thought that came to mind! No aroma to speak of but it was refreshing and light. I couldn't see pairing it as described below ... although I guess it would be paired well with a hot sun out on the deck on a slow weekend afternoon. Not that there's anything "bad" about it ... just nothing "good" ... unless you count the neat shape of the bottle! 5.5/10 ...
Price: $ 7.95, Wine, White Wine, 10.1% Alcohol/Vol., Sugar Content : 2
Made in: Dao, Portugal, By: Jose Maria Da Fonseca
Serving Suggestion - This versatile wine goes very will with Mexican and Italian dishes. Best served well chilled.
