bobbyshinton 59 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Our friday wine recomendation Touriga Nacional (available from all good wine stockists) "A rich, plummy gold medal winning red is made from Touriga Nacional, one of Portugal’s best grape varieties. It is produced by the talented wine maker José Neiva in his own estate in Estremadura, the region just north of Lisbon. Our robust red will go well with sturdy beef casseroles and roast or Peking duck. As Tim Atkin in The Observer said ‘Portugal’s best indigenous grape is on fantastic form in this oak-scented, structured, richly coloured, almost pruney southern red.’ Modern Portuguese reds like this deserve to be better known." have a nice weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc-mag 1 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 On a serious note re wines....practically every Australian wine has some sort of medal, award or prize proudly displayed on it. As the bloke in the shop put it, they're extremely fond of awarding themselves prizes. Plenty of good Aussie plonk out there but in their case a rosette doesnt mean it's a decent drop.

ChezGiven 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Agreed and have to say that Portuguese wine is the most under-rated in Europe if not the world. Some exquisite whites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
