A few months ago we did a feature article on red wine from the Alentejo region of Portugal, which you can read about by clicking here. This is my favorite area for Portuguese wines, however I must admit almost all of my tasting experience has been with the red wines.

My last stop on the recent, and far too short, trip to the Finger Lakes was to Shaw Vineyards.
