Wine Review – Payadores

Bytravelwithsandi

Payadores, a Sauvignon Blanc from Valle Central, Chile, was the second bottle I recieved in my Wine of the Month Club January 2019 shipment. I hope you enjoy my wine review – Payadores as much as I did preparing to write it!

I’m just a girl who loves wine and these opinions are 100% my own. Everyone chooses a wine for different reasons – type, label, history, etc. Sometimes the wine is a gift, sometimes it’s what you can afford, most of the time it is a fun journey.

My sister was staying withus for three months while in a housing transition. Her thank you gift was a 6 month subscription to the Wine of the Month Club! She knows me well. One of my favorite things to do is try new wines.

According to the accompanying newsletter, Bunch of Grapes, Payadores has “A sweet, bright bouquet; reveals notes of white flower, ripe nectarine, lychee and lemongrass.”

My first sip thoughts were: WOW – so bright, so smooth. second sip found a floral note with an acidic taste. It coated my tounge slightly. I’m not sure I could pull out lychee because I have never had one – hmmmmm! I did get floral and lemongrass.

Wine and Food

I paired it with a recipie from Ina Garten of the Food Network; Roasted Vegetable Soup with Brioche Croutons (and I added a little shredded parmesan cheese). Both the soup and the wine were excellent! The light, bright acidic wine was a nice foil to the full body of the roasted veggies, of course, it was perfect with the Brioche and Cheese!

I would buy this wine again, we have some Sauvignon Blanc drinkers in the crowd. I hope you enjoyed my wine review – Payadores. If you want to try this wine, or give a great gift to your favorite wine lover, check out Wine of the Month Club!

  1. Thanks for your review. I will keep this in mind when I am stocking up on my wine (small wine rack but none the less). Helpful to know how it pairs with food. And I would be in trouble if my sisters stayed with me for 3 months!!!!!

  2. I don’t drink wine, but often have the characters in my novel drinking it. This is great information on what foods this particular wine goes well with. Thank you for sharing.

  3. Thank you for your review, I will keep this one in mind! As someone who knows nothing about wine and chooses wines based on what the label looks like I appreciate any actual reviews of wines I can get!

  8. This one sounds like one I would like. I tend to gravitate towards floral and fruity wines. Sounds yummy!

  9. I am not a drinker but everyone else I know does. It would be great to know what wines would be good to serve to guest. Education is king. Thanks for sharing.

  10. Nice pictures and a description that any wine drinker (or even a novice wine drinker) can understand. Thanks for your detail yet simplicity.

  12. I am just getting back into Sauvignon Blanc. I will have to check this one out. Thanks for the tip!

  16. Thanks for the review! I drink only white wine, so knowing which new ones to try is a big help!

  18. Although we do not drink wine, we found this to be an excellent review! It almost had us wanting to actually drink a glass! LOL
