Varietal: Red Table Wine
Region: Portugal
Cost: $8
A moderatly dry red wine with ripe fruit flavors and just enough tannins on the finish to balance the fruit flavors without overwhelming them.
Recommendation: I’ve been in search of a red wine that could be my table wine at home, something I could buy by the case…and I think I’ve found it. I had thought my search would lead me to Italian wine, but this Portugese red has a perfect blend of fruit and tannin to pair with a number of different meals (I had it with chicken curry and rice) or to just be enjoyed by itself.
Medium-bodied but with a good tannic finish, the price on this alone makes it suitable for a table wine, and the fact that it’s good is icing on the cake. This is easily one of the best values I’ve found in a really long time and I encourage everybody to give this a shot. A definite must buy.

Been looking for some good Portugese wine. Had one two years ago and it was really nice.
Will definitely be on lookout for this one. Thanks George!
