The blend of 70% Castelao, 20% Trincadeira and 10% Aragonez (another name for Tempranillo) is aged for a short time in oak (4 months). This was my first Portuguese wine and I really enjoyed it. Made from grapes grown on the Setubal Peninsula, it's the oldest Portuguese table wine. and as if that's not enough, a spicy cinnamon finish.
Reds: 2006 Vale da Torre Bin 717 Alentejano , Portugal , $9, Aidil Wines & Liquors Imports (Aragones and Trincadeira). For several months now the Euro is comfortably in the 1.5 range. Yup, it costs over $1.50 to buy one Euro. This isn't going to change tomorrow or next month - we're going to live with this for a while I bet. So there.
