Gary,
Thanks for reviewing Portuguese wines
Please learn to pronounce the labels
Alentejano is pronounced “A-Lint-John-o” not “Alente-Hano”
The J is pronounced like a J not like an H
The same with Cerejeiras (Which means Cherry Trees)
Pronounced “Sera-Jaytas”
Douro is Doughro
Hope this helps
Thanks

QOTD: I’ve had some Portuguese reds, but nothing that’s stood out. Though I’ve had a lot of good vinho verde and sparkling wine from Portugal, so I definitely believe there’s QPR for the reds!

2005 Periquita from Portugal. This wine is 10 bones in Canada(so 3 bones in US). It brings serious thunder, a wondewrful QPR.

Great show Gary. I was in Portugal a few years ago and had a great White Port, amazing! It’s about time they get recognized for more than just their namesake. GO DOURO! YEAH PORTUGAL!

QOTD: I have a Douro that I’m keeping and dreaming about. I had a 2005 Quinta do Crasto Reserva Old Vines at dinner in Vancouver whilst visiting my girlfriend a few weeks ago that was simply amazing.

Please come to Chicago. I know twitter says you are but book tour does not!

awesome show! We got the Cerejeiras at our store about a month ago after we had it at our distributors tasting. I couldnt believe it was 5.99 retail. Been selling the crap out of it ever since.

QOTD its definatly the Cerejeiras. Price point and the ommmph for that price point makes it the best in a long time!

QOTD; I PROMISE!!!! You crazy guy!

P.S. I am a lurker and it feels good……

QOTD: Quinta do Carmo 2001 vintage. one of the best wines I have ever had period.

QOTD – I have had a bunch of Portuguese wines, but don’t think ever more than one of each bottle. I remember having some GREAT reds while in Lisbon, but don’t remember the names…

Bestial! Portugal was my all time favorite wine vacation. My current favorite is Vale Meao from the Douro; and the Meandro second wine is a great value as well.

The only Portugese wine we’ve had is Port, and we love it with some yummy cheese! We will certainly seek some out if there’s any to be had in Billings, MT. Great show, yet again! 🙂

QOTD – I am buying one today. By the way I tried a Spanish Rioja Rose over the weekend. Not bad, and definitely not what I was thinking.

There are many. But if I had a real choice, it would be a vintage Port. Say 1963 or some such.

Other than that, I currently have several made by Esporao. Good house, good buys (but not 6 bones, unfortunately).

QOTD: Barco Negro 2005, a surprise buy at Costco…

the end of today show was awsome, intense, and energetic. great show today.
QOTD: ive never had a portugese wine, but im going out as soon as i finish writing this and get the Sanguinhal Cerejeiras. ive been really exploring the red wine world here lately, and i was just thinking that its getting good and hot and now im looking for something a little on the light side for the summer heat. THANK YOU MY VAYNERCHUK this show was just what i was looking for. PEACE OUT SKILLETS IM OUT TO GET A WINE !

QotD – Periquita and the Periquita Reserve. About $11 in Tennessee.

Good show, I have heard so much about Douro, but have yet to check it out. That will end next time I am out wine shopping.

Gary, I’ve got my shopping list and I put the Sanguinhal Cerejeiras at the top…$6…can’t go wrong with that! Love the show…keep up the good work.

QOTD: Current favorite from Portugal: 2005 Altano Douro AND the ’05 Altano Douro Reserva. Comes from the Symingon Family Estates holdings. Fabulous wine, and the ’05 is drinking great, right now!!

Great Show! I needed a Portugese kick in the ass to remind me to drink more of these reds. They really are great price-to-quality ratio wines.

QOTD: Vintage Port. I know its old school but still the best dessert wine around

Thanks for exposing us to wines from Portugal. QOTD – I have been to Portugal twice in the past 6 years on vacation and found the wines to be very good. But I can’t remember favorite one. Why are you wearing a Tripadvisor shirt?

QOTD: Ive had many wines from Douro but off the top of my head I can’t remember any specific names and yes, I promise, to find some more. Im assuming the 6 buck will be sold out before I order.

I love the question to Mott, “Why?”

I’ve read the book from front to cover, bought some of the featured wines, and I can say it is a very informative read. I can see you on WLTV reviewing each and every wine. Fun, fun, fun.

Cheers

QOTD: I’ve had at least 4-5 reds from Portugal in the past 3 years. Two were in the PAZZZ category and the others were pretty good. Can’t remember what they were exactly, only sort of kind of know their varietals. I had one decent white, an Alvarinho with “a little frizzante action”. It wasn’t bad, pleasant.

Saturday I had my first Greco di Tufo that I bought after show #449. Liked it. Bought more today.

Thank you for doing a show on Portuguese wines. I really have been enjoying this part of the world for many reasons. They stay true to the terroir and really are producing good wines for cheap. Marques de Marialva is one of the wines I’ve enjoyed from Portugal lately. Great job!

QOTD: Haven’t had any that I was excited about..but because of your suggestion I’ll try some more! Maybe I’ll find some in China this week!

GV…China Wine Tours made it on CNBC last Friday!! Check the video!
