Toast to Summer with Vinho Verde Week in New York City – June 21-27, 2010
The Vinho Verde Regional Viticultural Commission (CVRVV) presents the first Vinho Verde Week, June 21-27, 2010. During the week, top restaurants in New York City will celebrate the food-friendly nature of Vinho Verde by offering special pairing menus and by-the-glass selections. Additionally, participating retailers will host Vinho Verde tastings and offer discounts on Vinho Verde purchases. New Yorkers can enjoy these specials during the first week of summer, and they can discover firsthand why the fruity aromas and light, crisp, vivacious flavors of Vinho Verde make the wines ideal for the warmer months. Vinho Verde wines have balanced acidity and are light in alcohol and calorie content, making them enjoyable on their own or when paired with a fresh summer dish. Vinho Verde Week is part of a three-year campaign, underwritten by CVRVV and the European Union, to increase interest and awareness for Vinho Verde wines and the Vinho Verde region in the U.S.
