Wine of the Week: Big Gulp Style...

Here in Big D today, it was 117. 

OK, I exaggerate, but it WAS hot.  Upper 90's with humidity seemingly in the 90's too.  Sticky.  Yuck.

Days like this...and there are plenty more ahead of us...call out for a light wine that packs flavor without overwhelming.  Nicely clean with just enough acidity to remind you of a refreshing glass of lemonade.

Oh, and if it is waaaay affordable, nothing wrong with that either.

So rush out and buy this completely quaffable Spanish white. Rene Barbier Mediterranean White. If you're lucky enough to have a Total Wine store nearby, it's going to set you back less than $5.00.

(No...that's not a typo.)

Cheers!
