I am in LA at my daughter’s house and she is fixing Peruvian stir fry called “Pollo Saltado” tonight which means a lot of spices heavy on the cumin and south of the border flavors like cilantro, and essentially raw onion flavors. Not the eaisest pairing. But I chose that very inexpensive first instance wine and had beer standing by whether it bombed. (I knew it wouldn’t though…)

This wine is barely yellow with a tip of green. The bouquet is fruity with gobs of peach, pear citrus, and apricot all rolled into one fruit compote aroma that is nearly flowery.

The palate is sweet to off dry with light citrus notes with fresh stone fruit flavors. The finish is short and it could use a touch more acid for my liking but for Pete’s sake, that wine was $6! It paired fine with the challenging dinner and for the price is decent value to be certain. Raise a glass.
