QOTD: Point West Touriga Nacional, had a port flavour profile, but obviously balanced more like a table wine should be, inexpensive, great!

Gary,

Alentejo wines specifically from the Evora region of the Alentejo continuously bring pizzaz and the long finish that you long. I agree with what your saying about portuguese wines. Maybe i have a prejudice as well, being Portuguese myself, but Portugal is consistently putting out wines that really wow me. Wines that are priced like your average table wine, but intense enough to pair with high end cheeses, meats, or drinking alone. Quinta de Cabriz is another wine priced about $6 a bottle that is as complex as a possible $20 or $30 bottle.

Keep the Portuguese thunder comin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Garry!
I’m really pleased with your opinion about portuguese wines and portuguese grapes!
I just want you to know that the wine that you liked so much is not from the Douro region. “So Touriga Nacional” is a wine from Terras do Sado. It’s a designation of origin near lisbon with amazing wines.
Keep up with your good work and taste more portugueses wines!

Nice to see wines other than port from Portugal bring the thunder!!… My family and I are doing alright, and I wish the same to you. QOTD: Had tons of it in ports, which I drink quite a bit, but never in a straight up wine. After this show I may have to!
