Even though it is “Big Red” wine time with frosty nights, I had a simple pasta with butter, laced with fresh-cut chives, that I have growing in a pot in my sun room. A very unique white wine from Veneto, the Zyme 2012 Il Bianco has 13% alcohol and is a wine blended with 60% Rondinella white (a new clone of the red Valpolicella wine grape first seen in 1999) 15% Kerner, 15% Gold Traminer and 10% Cross Manzoni.  Not well known grapes at all.

The wine scored 17.5 points on the Dionysian scale of 20, and was an ideal food-wine! Almost every time you make a quick basic meal, but decide to add a unique wine to pair with it, you end up experiencing something special. After enjoying this bottle by ourselves, my wife and I said that this was a sample we should have shared with friends so they too could savor a unique drinking experience. Looks like a producer called Zymë makes it. It’s imported by banville & jones in North Bergen, New Jersey. See it out.
