A Fine Happy Hour Sauvignon Blanc.
This is something that might interest almost all of you considering that these restaurants are coast-to-coast. I’m talking about McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants. The cozy, New England pub vibe is always welcoming, and especially Monday through Friday from 3:30-6:30 when it’s Happy Hour!
Those of you that have been following the blog know that I don’t mind a good deal. And when I say good deal, I mean for $1.95 you can get a huge burger and fries or an order of oyster shooters, or for $2.95, a tasty chicken & pesto bruschetta, or and an incredible quesadilla. All that, and a wine list that’s not half bad, and you’ve got no reason not to go.
My last trip there, I chose a great wine to wash down all this wonderful food. It was a nice little Chillean Sauvignon Blanc called Haras de Pirque and it was a tasty glass. NOTE: This wine is actually on the regular menu, not the happy hour menu.
I can’t remember ever having a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, so I wondered if it might drink like a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. In fact, it drank much more like a California Sauv Blanc– crisp and light, with citrus tones as well as melon and pear.
It was a happy hour indeed.
