Sip something fun this summer and relax with Portugal’s Casal Garcia wines. Fun enough for a gathering and versatile enough to pair with easy patio meals.
Need a perfect picnic pairing? Whip up this refreshing citrus salad doused in a white wine vinaigrette and lounge in the sun with the rest of the bottle of wine.
Picnicking is one of my favorite summer activities and I’m always dreaming up simple healthy recipes to bring to the park. This citrus salad gets a fresh pop with a Casal Garcia Vinho Verde. Vinho Verde is a beautifully light, slightly effervescent Portuguese white blend, perfect for pairing with my citrus salad. This recipe only requires two teaspoons of Casal Garcia Vinho Verde, so enjoy the rest of the bottle while you lounge in the sun.
