Bright & Citrusy Thirst Quencher from Milan Nestarec!

We've long been fans of Milan Nestarec's wines. In addition to being produced from responsibly-farmed fruit and with minimal intervention, these natural, easy-drinking sippers are perfect for serving with a chill and enjoying year-round with a variety of cuisines and snacks.

Milan created his Forks & Knives lineup of wines out of frustration for his native country, the Czech Republic's, wine-drinking culture. While other European countries regularly embraced the art of food and wine pairing, Milan explains that the latter wasn't always an essential part of the daily table, but rather something for binge drinking or for celebrating special occasions.

Seeking to change this stigma, Milan crafted this easy-drinking, budget-friendly lineup of wines to enjoy with food on the daily. The bottle we're sharing with you here is a blend of Gruner Veltliner, Neuberger, Sauvignon, Pálava, and Riesling that sees a tiny bit of skin contact.

On the palate, expect bright and tangy flavors of citrus, melon, peach skin, white tea, and hints of yeast. We love the wine with kimchi, Middle Eastern cuisine, and Asian takeout favorites, though simple hummus, eggplant dips, and easy-to-prepare snacks work just as well.
