Rediscovering Portugal

Portugal was once a powerhouse during the age of Exploration and Discovery in the 1400’s. It is now experiencing an age of rediscovery all its own in the world of wine. From the crisp and refreshing white wines of the Vinho Verde's north region, through the shores of the Douro river where the world renowned Port wine has a long and beloved history, all the way to the Alentejo - the last wine region to be demarcated as such - where fruity yet complex offerings are quickly gaining a global reputation, Portugal is fast becoming one of the "Old World's" new darlings.

A rich and colorful history blankets 14 wine regions throughout this tiny Western-European country. With heavy investment in the latest technology, innovation, and modern wine-making techniques, world-renowned wine makers are spearheading a new age in the wine world and putting Portugal on the map. It’s clear Portugal is ripe for a new age of discovery, and it’s our turn to explore the best this beautiful and charming country has to offer.

Join me on this adventure as we taste our way through Portugal and learn more about these wonderful and exciting wines.
