Part Six: This Lazy Girl's Guide to Wine, The Series

Happy Monday fellow Lazy Girls! I don't know about you, but I am loving White wine lately  Okay, okay, I've always loved white wine.  Okay, okay, I've always loved ANY wine for that matter, but right now White wine is my jam!

White wine evokes Summer vibes for me, so maybe my renewed enthusiasm over it is just my attempt at holding on to the last vestiges of warmer climates, but whatever the reason, I'm into it. 

I took the night off from my usual 'open an app and have dinner delivered' routine and actually cooked.  Oven baked salmon and vegetables to be exact, not complicated, but it sounds fancy when you say it out loud.  And since I was eating like I grown up, I decided to drink like a grown up as well. Why not right? I bypassed my favorite Winter red (don't worry Pinot Noir, I still love you!) and reached for one of my favorite Summer whites, Vinho Branco from Passarola

What a glorious match! The meatiness of the salmon did not overpower my Vinho, It's crisp fruity flavor cut through the salmon's oily nature and don't get me started on the vegetables, that wine just made them sing! I felt like I should have been dressed better to properly honor the occasion, maybe a fun skirt and cute top instead the hoodie and yoga pants I was sporting.  Wardrobe aside, I had a wonderful dinner and the wine made doing the dishes much less of a chore. 

I'm a fickle little pickle when it comes to what I like. It changes from day to day. I may be into Rose' tomorrow, but that's okay. Life is smorgasbord, try as much of it as you can!

Until next Monday Lazy Girls!
