Hotter still

There is only one white wine that I will drink on a day so hot,not only you cannot walk on the sand, but also fry the egg on the hood of the car. So hot, your underwear feels like flypaper and your shoes stick to the floor five steps after you walk into the beer chest. And the wine is cheap.

Gazela Vinho Verde at 2 for $10 is the cafe wine of Lisbon and all other Portugese beaches, sailboats and pools. It is low in alcohol. it is snappy like a green apple, it is slightly fizzy like some people I know and it can be and should be served ICE cold. A tuna sandwich overpowers it, I grilled swordfish is too much, but when the weather is too hot, it is the wine of the thermometer.

A trick to make the wine colder. Add salt to the water and ice in the bucket with the wine. Wont make your lips turn blue, but makes the wine colder.
