2007 Sterling Malvasia Bianca & Spicy Fire Grilled Shrimp

AMGP 88

I first bought the 2001 Vintage of this wine. It was one of the best whites ever. For years I rationed the 6 bottles I purchased. Finishing the last before purchasing a case of this 2007 wine. It goes great Spicy food. The 2007 has a slightly bitter finish....but is still pretty good. But does not pair as easily with food as the 2001.

Grilled shrimp with Vodka marinated Pequin Peppers on a bed of Puerto Rican rice with fresh English peas and Cabbage.
