Today I visited the infamous Vintage Cellar for the first time and tried La Cappuccina Soave. It was a 2011, 100% Garganega from Italy for $7.95. The Vintage Cellar said this wine is a "bright straw yellow color. Delicate on the nose, with notes of flowers and almonds. Dry, well structured and delicately fruity, with hints of bitter almonds on the finish that is typical of Garganega based wines." I thought that this wine was refreshing, typical color of all other white wines, with an acidic tart flavor with a lemon zing. It had a bite to it but still fruity and light. On the Chain Bridge Cellars website, they said that this wine would go well with a "dish of rich, bold flavors, like pasta with a creamy sauce or some salt, just melting cheese."
