We may be falling in love with Aphros. With our first taste of their dry Loureiro Vinho Verde, we knew we had a hit. When we saw that they make a couple pet-nats, we became very curious and determined to try them. Unfortunately, The New York Times published a glowing review of their pink pet-nat and both cuvées quickly disappeared from our local importer's warehouse. We snagged the last couple cases of the pink pet-nat and tried it over the weekend. If you like dry pink bubbles, you might make a point to try this little beauty asap. A blend of Alvarelhão and Vinhão, it is fresh and zippy, with notes of citrus and crunchy red fruits next to subtle smoke and flowers. Delicious and refreshing, it's perfect for sweltering August afternoons.
