Choose a wine from Portugal, we’ll bring it.

Wines in line

On the first day of the European Wine Blogging Conference we’ve been asked to bring a few wines to participate in the bloggers wine tasting. We have a few favorites that we would like to bring but we also want to ask if there’s anything special that you would like us to bring.

We can choose some wines by looking at the Top 10 Wines from Portugal. Lots of good picks there. Within reasonable price we might try to get some of them.

We had already thought of bringing a few of our personal favorites. I’m a Cortes de Cima lover but José Eduardo might bring some of his wines. Emídio is a fan of Quinta do Carmo and André would probably like to get a bottle of his controversial Duradero 2003 (a wine made from Portuguese and Spanish grapes at the same time).

We want to know your choice. Is there anything you would like to taste? Some Vinho Verde or perhaps one of the well know grapes like Touriga Nacional. This is your choice, let us know what you want in the comments below and (within the budget) we’ll try to get those wines to the big tasting!

    Yes I’ll be taking Cortes de Cima Touriga Nacional 2005. But you can always take others along to make the comparison. Cheers, José Eduardo

    @ryan: good choice, will try to get one of those.

    @José Eduardo: which one should I take? :) Maybe the Syrah? I like that one.

    Syrah will be a good choice for both men and women. But if you really want to please the women then I would take Trincadeira. But that’s just a personal opinion.
