Oh yes, those are other favorites, albeit not easy to find in Chile. I had an amazing Albariño from Bodega Bouza in Uruguay which is now in the US market. The European counterparts are so nice since you get a break on the alcohol %.

As for the second pool, that is at Vila Kilongo in Jericoacoara in Northeastern Brazil. We spent 5 days there on our honeymoon before traveling up the dune-studded coast to Lencois Maranhenses and Sao Luis. Spectacular to say the least. We have our Brazil articles (in LAN) on our website http://www.lizcaskey.com/multimedia_magazines.htm if you want more travel info.

You guys are on the mark! I do like Casa Lapostolle wines, more their reds than the whites to be honest. Since they are fairly hearty I tend to not associate them as pool lounging wines. With heat in the 90s, I want refreshment. The post was more about wine styles and a few examples that came to mind. Please feel free to share your suggestions of other varietals and specific wines. Everyone will benefit from it! Cheers. 🙂

My guess is the first swimming pool photo was taken at Casa Lapostolle….adjacent to the dining area. We took a couple of shots of the same swimming pool and lovely vineyards and Andes during a recent visit.

Speaking of CP….their Tanao Blanc, might have been a nice wine to have included in this “pool side” selection.

However, we need to remember, this blog belongs to Liz and she can include here choices…not our choices, necessarily.

You use a shot of their lovely pool, but they don’t get mentioned for their exceptional wines!

C’est la vie!

Of course, I could be wrong.

Anyone else recognize the first picture?

I recently tried some albariño/vinho verde from Spain and Portugal and loved them. Any thoughts on these?

Also, where was the second poolside photo taken? It’s beautiful! (as well as the first!)
