Nocturna – Acrobats, Tango, Dancing and a Whole Lot of Fun

Tango music, dancers, and acrobats all mixed into one…. seemed like the perfect mix to me. I decided to check it out this weekend, and I was glad I did.

I recently tried the Rodas Sauvignon Blanc 2009. It is usually pretty difficult to find a decent sauvingon blanc, so I didn’t have very high expectations trying one wine that comes in at $10.50. I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very crisp wine, with flavors of green apple and lollipop lemon,...
