We acquired a bottle of Rias Baixos Albarino 2011 over the Christmas
season. Tonight Bev made a chicken dish with Meyer lemons, accompnaied
by potatoes and olives in a shallot sauce. The wine was devine a
delightful match that brought back fond memories of many a European
vacation.

The wine was crisp and zippy with a not too floral or weird notes just a
clean slightly floral and fruity elegantly balanced wine that just made
the dinner hum. Wish we had more right now, I want those 4 oz that went
into the dish . . .

My previous encounter with Albarino had left me less than enthusiastic,
this time I am a convert.

Of course this makes me think of the wine rep at a local in store
tasting who kept on offering to pour more Crianza when offering Cruz de
Alba Ribero del Duero Crianza 2008. In this case I completely missed the
important stuff due to the label design.
