PortuGalo - real portuguese - PORTUGUESE WINE / VINHOS PORTUGUESA Wine and port makes us think of numerous visits to our late grandparent s house in Portugal, where there would be the old fashioned refillable 5lt vat of locally made wine and port wine kept in their crystal decanter on the bottom shelf of their little bar. Wine rations were controlled by grandmother Avó Aida and served at meal times to grandfather Avô Bernadino. I am not sure what it was but with all of wines attributes, that one (sometimes more than just one!!) glass brought out the happiness, the glow and the endless smiles. Fond memories of watching their interaction over a glass of wine during meals or the shot of port after a meal. As for our house wine there is a unique love story about MARIANA who was a nun in mid-1600s in Alentejo who had a forbidden affair with a French nobleman/soldier. Her name lives on in her letters -- and in our house wine. Alcohol not for sale to persons under the age of 18.

LOCAL WINE / VINHOS LOCAIS Wine is one of the most civilized, natural and ancient things in the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing. Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but in the company of others, drink the whole bottle. Alcohol not for sale to persons under the age of 18.
