For The Love Of Port

I have had a good year of tasting some brilliant young and old Portuguese table wines from a wide variety of red, white and Espumante categories. I will finish the newsletter and then go through my 2025 top picks of the year.

Please don't wait! You can start to consider your tasting notes and TOP Portuguese table wines now. Although it is Christmas Eve, I hope you will all enjoy something special tonight. Merry Christmas to everyone here!

I look forward to read your single bottle or list of TOP Portuguese table wines you have had at some point this year!

I

2023 Mouchao Verdelho Curtimenta, from a bottle opened a couple days.

Opened a mag of 1975 Porta Dos Cavaleiros Reserva for my typical 50YO wine before midnight. Stunning and still fairly fresh. The burgundy bunch at our NYE party took seconds.
