The wines of Portugal have yet to achieve the status they deserve. While I have tasted quite a few, limited availability in the US makes it difficult to really sample enough to develop an educated opinion. The Dao is…"

Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.

Roger Stockton commented on Roger Stockton's blog post Fermenting a Wine Competition Controversy"Great point David. I like to use descriptions of the wine’s characteristics when reviewing.. Recommended wines first must be well made and free of faults. Beyond that, it is the fruit profile, balance, acidity and sweetness that will best…"
David Gaier commented on Roger Stockton's blog post Fermenting a Wine Competition Controversy"This is a healthy discussion and points out the truly subjective nature of tasting and "judging" wine.

It was great meeting you at the Family Winemaker's tasting. The Terra Savia wines were terrific, made even better with the price points.
Cheers!"

A quick trip to Murphys
A spontaneous road trip yesterday “happened” to take me though the little California town of Murphys . Murphys is the heart of Calaveras County’s wine country, home to over twenty wineries. The town itself has changed little from the gold rush days offering the visitor a taste of history along with many great wines of the region... read more

Livermore Valley, part one
Prior to Prohibition, the Livermore Valley was considered California’s leading wine producing region. The Volstead Act of 1922 devastated the wine and liquor industry by outlawing the sale of alcoholic beverages prompting owners to uproot the vineyards, replacing them with fruit trees and other economically viable crops. When the 21st Amendment repealed prohibition in 1933, it was too late to revive the once thriving industry.…

- Hi Roger,
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.”
Visit please our web-site, for now it’s just in Portuguese, but to see photos you don’t need any translation: www.quintadaboavista.eu
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best.

- Hi Roger,
Nice to meet you on 2.0. If you are ever in Mendocino stop by and see us at Terra Savia. We only do a very small amount of Pinot Noir(sorry) but I am very excited about our Bordeaux style reds. I am also getting ready to disgorge our first Blanc de Blanc which will be done in a very traditional dry style.
Jim
