I must admit, I am in love with this idea. I have wanted to do this series for quite some time, but knew I had to partner up with someone before turning it into a reality. When I reached out and Debbie of hvwinegoddess.com said she was interested in teaming up, I immediately knew it was a perfect match!
If you missed the introductory post about Winephabet Street, you can read it here, but in simple terms, once a month, Debbie and I will guide you through the wine world one letter at a time. We will be live streaming each episode, but if you can’t watch it live, you can visit my YouTube channel anytime to watch or listen on our podcast.
A is for Albariño
Albariño shares many of the same terpenes found in other aromatic varieties: Gewürztraminer, Muscat and Riesling and is known for its highly acidic and ultra-fresh flavor. It is also relatively low in alcohol which makes it a perfect aperitif. The varietal aromas include lime, apple, grapefruit, hyacinth, almond and grass. It is suggested to drink Albariño within a two year time frame from bottling. The most popular attraction for most people is the salinity- you can almost taste the sea spray!
My Albariño for the evening was a 2016 Niner Estate from Paso Robles (SRP: $20). 
In the livestream, we discuss the basic characteristics of Albariño along with its history, food pairings and fast facts. Below is the slideshow that went along with our conversation.
