Aug 9th, 2018Superb crisp Vinho Verde. Nice acidity, and complex layers of fruit and stone. In Lisbon’s Barrio Alto. Happy Friday!

Aug 3rd, 2018Often referred to as the "Green Wine" of the Vinho Verde region with a concentrated fruit character with notes of pepper spice. Lively acidity gives this wine a zesty boost turning the fruit into a complex dry wine with character, apple and citrus, well balanced on a lingering finish. This wine could benefit from a little aging. Great value. A Fav!
