2012 : Looking Back! MIOLO Vineyards IS BACK " Sparkling Espumante From Brasil's Vale Dos Vinhedos, Bento Goncalves : Bright Sunshine ...


Bright sunshine perhaps at 11 A.M. or later in the afternoon around 6 P.M.? Yes, si. mais bom. I like it : I have been a fan now for quite awhile and I have tasted various releases over the last four or so years, ever since Flavius A. Cucu brought me some to taste. With my Brazilian background going back to 1955 I have been pretty much a fan of all things Brazilian! That still has not changed and here in July of 2012 as we get ready to celebrate France's Bastille Day ( le 14 Juillet! I also love pretty much all things French! ) I am thrilled to have it to offer everyone here in our Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington D.C. 20008 , 202-363-4265 at the very reasonable price of $16.99 a bottle. You should all buy a bottle and taste it.

Yes, si ... like the taste of bright sunshine that has settled nicely into the fabric of this liquid , gold-glinted sparkling espumante. It tastes quite rich and fresh and with great elasticity, fine fullness on the palate that saturates and coats and touches and yet does not tire or fatigue the tongue. It's flavorful enough, it's complex enough, it's engaging enough, it's well-balanced, well-focused : fleshy without being overly anything. It teases and pleases.

This MIOLO Vineyards' shows it's fine Italian heritage now going into the glorious fifth generation. You can see the care and the time, the thought that the folks at MIOLO Vineyards' like oenologue Gustavo Duarte put into the making of this splendid sparkling elixir that positively gleams a golden sunshine's radiance as the bubbles rise in the glass and one lifts the glass periodically to their lips to embibe this dry brut ( 11.5% alcohol by volume ) methode traditionelle. It's pretty addictive, too so be prepared to have an extra bottle on hand when you drink it as you will become positively expansive about life and being alive and able to enjoy and appreciate fully your immediate situation : and this will become obvious to others as they approach you and are drawn to you ... and you offer some to them ... and the magic of sharing and being together is a wonder to behold. Cheers and enjoy. TONY
