Staff Pick Notes

3B stands for... 1. Bairrada - a DOC region in Portugal close to moderating ocean currents of the Atlantic. 2. Baga - a black grape native to this region, providing fresh berry fruit flavors 3. Bical- a soft, aromatic white grape, which adds creaminess to this tasty bubbly Fresh strawberry comes through on the palate, combined with light yeasty notes which linger even as the effervescence trickles away. This sparkling star has zero dosage, which, combined with the crisp minerality, results in an incredibly clean finish. What really struck me was the versatility of this wine. Though bubbly has often been considering a wine of the aperif realm, this beauty has enough body to pair beautifully throughout an entire meal.Pair with seafood, coastal Portuguese and Spanish dishes, or just a relaxed evening with friends and conversation.

Portugal

The Dão and the Douro are the most important regions as far as red Portuguese table wine is concerned. Douro wines tend to be a bit fuller and fleshier than their Dão counterparts, which are generally lighter and higher in acidity. Reds from both regions are dense, rustic, and well-balanced. They also show their terroir quite clearly, and represent a great alternative to the modern fruit-driven style. Vinho Verde is Portugal’s most famous white wine. Literally translated as "green wine," it...
