"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.

"Sarah,
If you find yourself in the Paso Robles AVA stop by and taste through our wines. We're small (2000 cases) so not widely distributed but do have some nice wines.
Cheers, Steve"

"I would have to say overpriced wines by the glass. Last night I ordered two glasses of wine ($12 each) and one order of fish tacos and ended up spending $40! Another pet peeve is when the server gives me a short pour. Ugh."
"Well, it's Friday, 12:47 a.m., and the website says it will reveal the top 50 in 23 hours... According to their calculations, we have to wait until 11:59pm on Friday night to find out! Good lord, let's hope not!"

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.”
