We purchased this Godello on the recommendation of a staff member at Harvest Wines' new store here in Dartmouth.  Yay, our very own private wine shop!  We are HUGE Mencia fans from the Bierzo region of Spain.  Mencia is the red grape of Bierzo and Godello (say it with us Go-Day-Yo) is a main white grape.  Produced by Alvarez De Toledo  at $15 who could say no. The best description of the colour of this wine is straw.  It is light with a touch of gold and it is a super thin almost watery wine on the swirl.  Little blobs of wine stick to the sides of the glass almost like you would see if you had club soda in a glass.  It's not bubbly just really watery. The bouquet (note we have recently come back to using this term) is very light.  A hint of a aromatically perfumed orange blossom and even more it literally smells like Springtime. Fresh and clean with maybe some sweet bee pollen. Maybe we are just tired of Winter...no, no it ...

Harvest Wines & Spirits is a local private retailer that has a really nice collection of wine in their shop along with some good spirits and local/imported beers.  To promote the business and to add some levity to what can be a stuffy business, they have produced some promo videos with humorous slant to them.  The star of the videos is Jonathan Wilson who is the Director of Wine at Harvest (we think/are pretty sure) and he does a great job. Give em a watch: Maybe we should get into Video....hmmmmm. Keep on tasting! Chris & Shannon
