Vinho Verde

On our recent trip to Portugal, I wanted to see more than Port (fortified wine) production.

Within the Douro Valley are two main regions, The Douro Region and Vinho Verde. Vinho Verde is within the Douro Valley, but is at highe...

PINOT NOIR A VERY NOBLE GRAPE

Pinot Noir is a very old and noble grape. As a matter of fact it is the parent of Cabernet Sauvignon with Sauvignon Blanc. To many, it is the epitome of red wine quality because of its classic expression of terroir. Pinot Noir cannot be grown in many of the more widespread growing regions and is very fickle and can have a vintage crop be a complete failure due to weather. Fortunately, there are...

Once we learn our way around the wine shop and know what general type of wine to buy, the next step is to learn to read the labels. This usually gives good information about the type of wine, area grown, year of harvest and components such as in a blend. Don't be intimidated about asking for help in making your selection. This will make you a much more informed shopper next trip. Once again, we...
