To The Shores Of Portugal


For this All-Wine Wednesday, we travel east, to Europe and the shores of Portugal!  Chandiney Patel with Full Circle Wine Solutions stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about the vino from that region, and it's quite the tale. Chandiney says it's a real adventure to try wines from this part of the world, and the reason is in the names.  You may not have heard of a lot of names used in Portuguese wines, like Vino Verde and Maduro, but many of the taste profiles are the same, and after some sampling, chances are good you'll find something you like!  Like many American wines, there are some well-known vineyards, and some promising up and comers.  Give it a try, and go on a tasting adventure!
