Feb 13th, 2020Delightfully funky in that distinctly Portuguese way. Perfectly balanced and about as “interesting” as you can get for $13 without using the word euphemistically. The label recommends pork or chicken. Honey glazed tofu worked for us, but stewed oxtail did not.

Sep 12th, 2020Really nice, well balanced. Bold but heavy ripe fruity notes. Too much for pizza, but perfect to drink alone
