QOTD- If you go beyond table wines, my favorite was a 1963 Sandeman Port. Just gorgeous flavors,finish a mile long.

Thanks to your encouragement, I’m starting to experiment with some table wines now, but I haven’t found anything memorable yet.

“Cross my heart and hope to die! I cannot wait to sick the Cerejeiras on my White wine loving girlfriend. Nothing but love all around.”

LOL – you’re going to do what on you girlfriend? I don’t think she’ll appreciate it, and it certainly won’t get her to like reds 😉

I have had a few Portuguese wines in the past, but I have not seen many here in Serbia. I will look around a bit and see what I can find.

Great show gary and nice shirt! I see since your accident you have been keeping it a little more casual. Have fun at your book signings.

Favorite Portugese wine….IRREVERENTE 04!!!
Does that ring a bell Gary? U have to get your hands on this! In fact it’s one of my all time favorite wines of all times.
About $14 and worth every penny!

QOTD: My favorite all time Portuguese red wine was the 1966 Graham’s Port. However, if you are asking about still red wines I’d say my favorite producer is Quinta do Crasto Reserva Old Vines. For an affordable red ($6-7)I’d say Quinta Bons Ventos.

Never had a Portuguese wine so I will have to seek one out!! Nice price points!

QOTD: Sogrape Vila Regia Reserve 2002, for CDN$12 (the non-reserve Vila Regia 2004 is far too young and harsh; not worth saving $3 compared to the reserve). Has gone well with lamb sausage, grilled rib steak, and most recently homemade burgers with a bit of ground bacon added to the beef.

I’ll not write about Porto – it is another story.
I like red portuguese wines, but the best (till now) is white – Esporao White 2006 Reserva.

Amen gary! Gotta love thunder like that. Qotd: While I have had a few portugese red wines in the past, I havent had enough to name a favorite. Recently I had the Novus 2007 Douro red-12 bones. My pal loved it and it seems it might even have the guts to age a little while. Thanks for the show!

QOTD: Quinta De La Rosa Douro red blend

And I just bought a Quinta de Roques last weekend. Working on expanding my Portuguese palate.

Great show as always Gary. Question: i do not know if it was on purpose or not but I could hear from the recording of the show music in the background. to tell you the truth it was kind of annoying.

Otherwise excellent show. I will look for Portuguese wines in my local wine store.

QOTD – 2005 Carm. Delicious.

LURKER!

i’ve been watching for a couple of years, but i have never left a comment. You’ve finally beaten me down!

Question of the Day answer:

CARM 05 Duoro is my favorite Portuguese wine. At $12 it sings.

I hope that you come to DC for your bookie book tour.

Regards,

F

great show! qotd: berco do infante – under 6 bones but brings teh thunder! thanks for ordering more!!

Among the best from Portugal I’ve had of late was the 2003 Casal de Loivos, though the2004 Niepoort “Vertente” was wonderful as well. We will be hosting a second tasting of Portugal’s efforts this weekend, so I may soon have others to add.

I got excited to try a Portuguese red and ran out to the store right after watching the episode. Unfortunately I went to two of the biggest specialty wine stores here in Dallas and they didn’t have any! I’ll have to keep my eyes open. Great show!

Love the show and LOVE Portuguese wines! They are hedonistic! Lots of cocoa…just amazing wines for the price.

QOTD: 2004 Nieoport Duoro Blend & 2005 Quinta do Crasto Reserva 🙂

QOTD: I have had several Portuguese reds and can’t say that I have a favorite. None have wowed me, but I will say I think they’ve all been under $10 (maybe even under $9) so while I haven’t been wowed, the QPR can’t be beat.

I would have loved to have bought several bottles of the Sanguinhal Cerejeiras, but it looks like watching this the following morning doesn’t get me any from the WL stock. Nice sell out though.

Gary,

thanks for a great episode. My favorite portuguese red is João Pato 05. I see you have it in your store for $ 10. In Norway this wine costs $ 26. I recommend you to check it out. His father Luis also makes awesome reds.

Thank you,

Jon

QOTD: It’s called Port. 🙂 Warre’s Otima. $22/bottle it isn’t LBV, or a vintage but it IS good.

as a devoted lurker i will try port. wine,oh yaa
