Portugal

Just back from a week in Portugal consuming wine you probably wouldn't buy at home but pleasant enough to enjoy in the SUn. Portugal is of course, famous for its Vino Verde, a wine which enjoys a varied reputation. A tendency to over carbonate and to use low end grapes from a multitude of growers leaves a wine not entirely taken seriously by the ine industry. Having said that, it is a great inexpensive wine to drink in a hot climate. Casal Garcia is an exapmle of one such drinkable Vino Verde.
