My flight was delayed, then canceled. I caught a cab in a fury and cried as I made my way back over the bridge. I wiped my tears, calmed myself down then whispered: "You know what to do - Rueda Verdejo & Hawaiian Pizza." And that's just what I did. I ordered the pizza so it would arrive as I got home.

Tasting notes: Minerals galore! Medium bodied. Clean... kinda salty. Yellow pear, cantaloupe, a smidge of honey. An over all steal for $15.00.

Rueda

Located just east along the Duero River from the Ribera del Duero, this region is widely known for its delicious Verdejo based white wines.
