That calamari and scungilli salad at Fabrocini Beverly Glenenticed me again. I won’t bore you with more raving on that subject, (see here, and here) but I will tell you about the wine I had with it.
Oreana Winery is in Santa Barbara - not the wine country around Santa Barbara, but right downtown. It’s one of the stops on the Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail. Housed in a converted garage, Oreana’s cement floor tasting room may not land them in House Beautiful, but it really fits in with the slightly funky vibe of downtown Santa Barbara.
Verdelho is a Portuguese grape, not to be confused with the Spanish Verdejo. There’s a rich, floral nose here and a palate that’s full and tropical. Guava and pineapple emerge from the mix. The winery recommends pairing it with spicy Asian cuisine and sushi. I’ll throw my two cents in and say it was great with the seafood salad, too.
