Tampa Bay Lightning Wine Pairing

Tampa Bay Lightning Wine Pairing, Curvos Loureiro 2019

Wine notes

Every spring, Major League Baseball congregates to the Tampa Bay area for Spring Training. This preseason is known as the Grapefruit League.

Curvos Loureiro is a Portuguese Vinho Verde. This wine is fresh, light, and a wonderful reflection of Spring! The citrus flavours connect this wine to all of the citrus fruits grown in Florida.

*Loureiro is the grape variety that is used for this wine.
