Hi,
I am returning to this group after about 7 years now. I am surprised because people here are talking very interesting topics: the group is much better than when I "leave". I am organizing dinners (about one by month) to my friends, helping then to know a little more about wine (I am not an expert; I know only the very basic) and we are going to tht 4th dinner. The first one was "classic grapes" (Cab Sauv, Merlot, Chard, Sauv Blanc, Syrah) from the new world (Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Chile). The second one "basic France" (same "grapes", old world) and the third one "Italy" (different character wines). Now I am planning "Portugal", because we are in Brazil and portuguese wines are very common here. We are used to pick 5 wines (more than that spoils proper tasting, IMO). My first idea is to select: Vinho Verde (white) Bucelas (white) Dão (red) Alentejo (red) Porto (ruby) "Second" options are Dão (white), Bairrada (red) and Douro (red). Is there a region that I am overlooking? My major doubt is about Bucelas. Is there another white wine that I can select? Best Regards, Andre. |
