Jay,

after the visits by Jay Miller for The Wine Advocate (Robert Parker's
famous wine bulletin), you can take for granted that Portugal is widely
recognized amongst wine experts about a great wine area.

Some wineries that I love that make dry wines in the Douro area:

- Quinta do Crasto
- Quinta do Vallado
- Pintas
- Poeira
- Roquette y Cazes Xisto
- Quinta do Vale Meao
- Tres Bagos

Best,
