About Me:
Munchkin, a Yorkshire Terrier with a sharp wit and refined tastes, is half of a dynamic duo known as the Virginia Wine Dogs (along with her partner, Pomeroy). This petite pair of pups spend weekends touring wine country (primarily in Virginia's Blue Ridge mountains) and share their experiences through their blog.

Most memorable experience around wine?
One of Munchkin’s earliest wine-tasting experiences was at Pearmund Cellars on a tour with the owner. As the group sampled juice from a recent crush still in the vat, Chris noted that dogs not only have a sense of smell about 100 times that of humans, but a sense of taste that is similarly acute and the flavors would sizzle in their mouths. With that, Munchkin emerged from her smuggle bag and confirmed his assessment.

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.”

All the best
