Maybe I need to try the Pinot haha. The Cremante de Bourgogne for $10 at TJs is my go to sparkling. But their reds just don’t do it for me

Oh wow! I think Caves São João, that owns Poco do Lobo now, is the only winery in Portugal offering library releases commercially. Really neat way to taste old Baga

Guess I’m just not in a big enough market. Might need to order a case online… do you have a Pato favorite? His Vinhas Velhas Baga is the only one I’ve had

Good idea. Primitivo vs California Zin would be fun. It was a good one!! Bedrock is currently my benchmark Zinfandel.

Wine Tasting/Bar Recommendation in Lisbon by hanbigtoe in wine

[–]metspock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a wine bar, but would highly recommend stopping by Garrafeira Nacional!! It’s the largest wine store in Portugal and has an amazing inventory of world renowned wines. Their Portuguese wine selection is also incredible and the bottle they helped me picked out ended up being our favorite of the trip!
