The cool Ontario Summer hasn’t prompted me to reach for the world’s great thirst-quenching white wine, Vinho Verde. But after a sweaty day of working on our new bocce court and I felt the need. And Gazela worked every bit as good as in previous summers. Love the slight spritz, the mineral coolness ““ and of course, the low alcohol. Keep a Gazela chilled in your fridge. And consider building a bocce court!
