Mention Washington State, and apples, cherries even hops come to mind, but grapevines?Posted on August 20, 2009 at 1:51pm
Working in the wine biz, we get a chance to taste a good number of verticals: lineups of one particular wine from any number of vintages. Verticals of high-end Bordeaux, California Cabernet, even Burgundies are not at all uncommon.Posted on August 20, 2009 at 1:37pm

I am from Portugal, from Dão region, in the center north of this wonderful country, wine grower and wine maker, promoting my own wine.
Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also cold Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.
Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.
Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:
“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.
Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”
