Preparing for our adventure to Portugal Surdyks’ Recommendation:
(Douro) Portugal is a prolific wine country, best known for its sweet dessert wine - Port. World famous in its many styles, Port is sweet and fortified, prized for its rich flavors and lush texture. Portugal also has fabulous dry red wine. Dow’s “Vale do Bomfim” is made with the same grapes and sourced from the same historic Douro Valley that produces Dow’s great Ports. Portugal’s indigenous grapes – Tinta Barroca, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, and Tinto Cão – are names that should pique your interest and draw you to this imported discovery. Picked by hand and manually sorted with great care, the grapes are fermented in small vats. The resulting wine has complexity and style. Portugal’s Douro Valley has consistently good climate and growing conditions almost every year. The flavors are dynamic and the tannic structure is soft and silky. This is a really good wine for all occasions, with an affordable price and value.

I can't understand why southern French whites are not more popular. This beautiful white with mango, melon, hints of ginger and white pepper is a charming, food friendly, easy to drink wine — 8 years ago

Could be a few years older but distinct notes of leather and currant, slight hints of truffle, possibly from my steak, but a fine wine nonetheless — 9 years ago

All the things I love in a skin contract white wine. This eschewes the more common apricotty notes in favor of confit lemon and Mandarin orange, backed by great texture, tart acidity and a kiss of Brett. Evolves dynamically over the course of the evening, always showing a new pique of interest. Wine for lambic lovers.

NB: Stand this up for a while and carefully open and decant - otherwise you'll end up with a hazy, New England style IPA situation. — 8 years ago

I think if I were drawing up exactly what I want Dolcetto to be, it would be this wine. Fresh dark cherry, moderate tannins, yet textured & aromatic enough to pique one's interest. — 8 years ago
