I bought this stuff and had some last night. It was delicious. Thanks for the tip.

Hedge: Which kind do you recommend? Red, white or rose? I am new to this wine, but will likely stop at Fine Wine Brokers to try it. Do you know if Cardinal on Ainslie and Lincoln stocks it? Thanks.

I've been meaning to profile Vinho verde for years, and now that I'm resuming my sommelier studies, look for more of these, as they make great ways to keep readers informed and act as study guides for myself.

Finally, someone is getting the message out about this wine! My wife and I have been recommending Vinho Verde to friends ever since we honeymooned in Portugal in 2001. It was about $2/bottle when we were there. Sigh. Anyway, this is a terrific Spring and Summer wine and we buy it by the case. One warning though: It's VERY easy to knock back a bottle of this stuff and not even realize it. So either pace yourself, or have more bottles of this elixir ready to go. Oh, in addition to Sam's Wine, you can find it at Trader Joes (usually) and even our local Lincoln Square wine shop, "Fine Wine Brokers" carries it.
