huevos con vino

Portugese table wines!  Nice.  I’m looking forward to another new varietal.  The host this time is Catavino.

I like this month’s WBW challenge, if I may call it that, because there are a few nuances worth noting:

• No Port
• No Madeira
• Try to taste something outside of Duoro
• Try to taste something other than Vinho Verde

Bonus points, such as they are, will be awarded if I manage to compare wines from multiple regions while tasting Portugese food.  My wife probably cannot eat Portugese food, but I’m happy to make her some grilled chicken while I indulge in a little stewed chicken instead.

Now, I could go back to The Spanish Table to find a Portugese wine.  They have a selection there that I will probably end up poring over, no pun intended.  But luckily, I noticed that one of my favorite Internet wine merchants, Wine eXchange, has Portugese wines galore.  Problem is, most of those wines are actually port, so I may need to keep looking.  Wine Library has a good deal on some interesting Portugese red wines (”tinto”), but they’re from the Douro and I want something even more exotic than that.

So!  I must keep looking…that’s half the fun, right?
