I usually prefer a glass of red wine, but when the temperature sores, I want something...cooler. A nice chilled white. With a few cubes of ice? I know, not classy, right? But, think...again.
Have you ever tried New Age white? If you have, you may have thought, "This is like Riesling on steroids!" But, if you drink it the way the Argentinians do, it is the perfect summer refresher: pour it over ice and add a squeeze of lime. WHAT?! It's true and it's delicious. New Age white is slightly effervescent and the lime is the perfect contrast to the wine. Honestly.
It's called a 'Tincho' after the man who, thankfully, invented it. The 'cocktail' is low in alcohol, slightly fizzy and absolutely refreshing. It was a summer favorite when we lived in Austin and I was happy to find it at the store here in Midland. Cheers!
