Have you tried adding a frozen peach slice to a glass of white wine yet this summer? For the first time this summer I added a peach slice to a Vermentino wine. This particular wine was produced by Cougar Vineyard & Winery located in Temecula Valley, California. Vermentino 2008 is produced with estate grown grapes. It is a crisp white table wine. The very light straw colored wine offered a light aroma of and with mineral nuances. While the taste had green apple notes. Suggested pairings include fresh seafood and grilled Mediterranean vegetables.

The addition of the peach slice offered color to an otherwise pale color of the wine. The peach slice absorbed much of the wine and was absolutely delicious. For a delicious dessert consider a bowl of sliced peaches with splashes of this Vermentino wine.

A review of this winery is available at Wine Trail Traveler.com.
