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…
I can't agree with you more David!
I also don't get the concept of "hating" a varietal, or even worse hating a whole well known wine region, as "small" as Australia. When someone makes such statements, I have a hard…
We are just about to undergo a whole website change which includes the wine club component. I was just down there this evening and there was some very good wines that had been ordered. The summer time is the best time to sit on the patio and enjoy…
Nicole, I agree with pretty much everything said bellow. I think you should definitely wave the fee if people are purchasing wine---this is like waiving corkage fee in a restaurant if people purchase a bottle. The price really depends on the wines…
Thanks for the evite! Hopefully I will make it there one of these days! I tried to join your wine club---still under construction!? ;)
Have a great day!

way too many! Some of my faves--Brunello di Montalcino, Australian Shiraz, New Zealand SB, big bold cabs. Champagne!!!!! For example, Shafer cab and surah, Hollywood 2480 cab, Insignia cab, Ken Wright PN, Melnik Uniqato (from my home land--Bulgaria), Grande Dame Veuve Clicquot
Most memorable experience around wine?
Going to the wine tasting the Best of the Best, and my favourite tradition---drinking Grande Dame Veuve Clicquot on my birthday every year!

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.”
