Preview: The #WinePW Crew Explores Crisp White Wines from Spain and Portugal

This weekend the Wine Pairing Weekend crew is focusing on the crisp white wines from Spain and Portugal. These wines are perfect for summertime meals and I am excited to read what the other bloggers opened and paired. You can read my invitation here. I did open it up for a little creativity in case they wanted to write about typically Spanish varietals made outside of Spain.

Thanks to Nicole of Somm's Table and her contact at Gregory + Vine, several members of the #WinePW group received samples of Albariño.*

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two.
