João Tavares Pina

Terras de Tavares Reserva Dão Touriga Nacional 2004

Beautiful, silky, smooth, hint of raspberry and cherry with a bit of oak, layers of flavors descend on your mouth as you drink it, dry with a licorice finish, paired perfectly with a crackling suckling pig dish at Belcanto. — 2 days ago

Poço do Lobo Arinto 1995

Vila Santa Alentejo Red Blend 2018

Earthy, mildly tannic, pretty good amount of acidity. I wanted tacos in corn torillas when i drank this wine. — 4 years ago

Wow so good! Natural sparkling rosé with lotttsss of sediment. Juicy orange character makes this very drinkable. I love how inventive Portuguese wines are lately. — 4 years ago

Vinho Verde Loureiro 2019

Lemon and lime and the salty sea air on the nose, round body, light peach flavors, and tingly citrus acid. Delicious and easily drunk, and making me wish for a warm evening in Lisbon. — 6 years ago

Another mustardy joy from the GOAT (or more like duck I suppose) — 7 months ago

Caves São João

Frei João Bairrada Baga Blend 1985

In beautiful shape, better than I remember the last bottle being. Dried red and black fruits, dry dusty tannins, forest floor, dried porcini mushroom and old leather umami nodes, cedar, dried herbs. Did I mention it’s dry? But it’s a beautiful wine, the flavor profile exudes sun baked warmth but the alcohol clocks in at less than 12% so it doesn’t fatigue the palate — 4 years ago

João Cabral Almeida

Camaleão Alvarinho 2024

Done in a more full bodied, rounder style. For less than 14$ fairly uni dimensional & perhaps a bit too one note. — 5 months ago

Quinta do Poço do Lobo Red Blend 1991

Mature and rather delicate with notes of prosciutto and iron. Probably better for a light charcuterie board then easy sipping in a Lisbon AirBnB. Old school Bairrada producer. — 8 months ago
