[tonicha]

For those who are interested.

Penedo da Moura 2012- from Portugal.

Opend it this afternoon, rather than yesterday and it really is lovely and smooth. I thought I could taste and maybe smell a hint of pepper ish, but really lovely.

Very highy recommended

I will look out for that thanks.

Just partaking of a rather nice DOCG Chianti. I can hardly see where I am going now!

hmm, just googled it and doesn't seem to be on sale here in the UK .... I'll do some more digging though

Do you know what grape it is?

[tonicha]

No sorry, and I threw the bottle out.

I'll have a look next time we're shopping.

Aragonez
Castelao

I don't know anything about Portuguese wines, but given it's payday tomorrow I may just treat myself to a bottle over the weekend

I may just treat myself to a bottle over the weekend

As long as it's under 2 euros, enjoy

Expect it will be a leetle more over there - but hope you enjoy it xx

Just had a look Ria and although it's not the same bottle, same wine etc, hope you enjoy it.

But how much???

I'm out of touch

I'm sure it will be lovely though
Portuguese wines don't appear much here, which is such a shame as they're so good.

Meriad I got a box of white wine when Ton & Grumpy met us and took us to Lidl, it was under 5 euros
A couple of days later I took it out of the fridge and thought, blimey, this is heavy - and discovered it was 5 litres And it was perfectly nice
One of the best places we ate was in theory a pizza place (and very good pizzas they did too) but also lovely fish, all sorts - and their house wine was 2.50 euros a bottle
Wine heaven I tell you

Oh wow!!!
