well, the trip is over. the wine was great. $10-15 or so bought you the good stuff on the menu, but fine wine available for less, and house wine in a ceramic jar was maybe $3-4/l and usually good. this is a country whose wine industry is moving from the old ways to modern tech. lot of fine wines there. the scenery was great, people very friendly, and the food was better than i got in italy frankly, for half the price or less. i brought back a few bottles, but now i have to find a steady supply in some store, or go back to portugal i suppose. darn.

Congrats on a wonderful trip. Usually Duoro, Alentejo, and Vinho Verde can be easily found at most fine wine shops. Personally, Vinho Verde is one of my favorite wines for summer drinking (try Soalheiro). To my tastes, I prefer the fruit balance in the alvarinho based wines to the more floral loureiho grape.
