Fresh Mint Flavor: Mint begins to lose flavor as soon as it's picked. Even if the bunch you're using looks fine, it may have been picked long enough ago so that the flavor is weak. Taste the sauce and, if you like, add more mint.

Wine Recommendation: A light and acidic vinho verde from Portugal or a sauvignon blanc from the Loire Valley in France, such as Pouilly-Fum, will mirror the refreshing flavor of the mint.
