Don Olegario Rias Baixas Albarino
It’s World Obesity Day and I don’t want to turn you away from the wonderful world of wine. Believe it or not, with a healthy diet and a little self-moderation, wine is a welcome addition to everyone looking to improve their health. Most dry wines have 1-4 carbohydrates per 5-ounce glass and only around 115 calories. That means light white wines, like Don Olegario’s Rias Baixas Albarino, is a great choice for those of us who are watching what we eat as the summer months approach. When it comes to diet and overall health, wine should be moderated, not avoided! Skip out on high calorie cocktails and pair your meals with wonderful dry wines like this Albarino when you’re looking to improve your diet and overall health. Pro tip, pair this wine with large roasted green salads, with tree nuts, and seafood of your choice for a delicious healthy wine and food pairing that will keep you on track with your goals!
