Wine a Day

A look at Ken Payton’s (from the blog Reign of Terrior) movie on small Portuguese wine producers and their stories.

A look at the wines from Herdade do Portocarro with unique terroir and complex red wines.

A look at the top 10 rated Touriga Nacional wines from Portugal.

The 2010 edition of the Adegga wine market was a great succuess. Loads of great wines, but 100% Petit Verdot for Cortes de Cima was the most interesting of the lot.

A look at the acceptablity of a glass or two of wine at lunch in different cultures and two very different wines from the same winery. The Prodigo and Enjeitado from Encostas de Estremoz

A visit to Quinta da Esperanca during harvest time. Great wine. Great food. Great people. No harvesting though…

Back to red wine with an experience with Herdade do Esporão’s Trincadeira.

Tasting wine from the native Portuguese grape varietal Touriga Nacional. This one from Herdade das Servas in the Alentejo region of Portugal
