When in Portugal drink Anselmo Mendes… from the local mini mart…so savory, tart, & begging for food…a few digestif biscuits & some local goat cheese, this sings. Medium bodied, & so not for the faint of heart.

Quality vinho Verde is starting to remind me of the different expressions of good Muscadet, especially sur lie. Quite round & full in the mouth, strong mineral notes- a lot of wine for 12$.

Vintage 2015 - Alvarinho is a grape that I find difficult to recognize tasted blind. Some vanilla in smell, an impression of apricot and pineapple. Very nice wine.

Smells like the shore with peaches and yellow apples. Med acidity, clean finish.
