PORTUGAL
Make no mistake, not all great wines from the Iberian peninsula originate inside the Spanish border! A remarkable stretch of land sits to the west of Spain and faces the Atlantic Ocean, a land of deep and complex heritage in its culture, its land, and its wine story. Portugal boasts one of the oldest certified wine regions on the planet (Port country), and this small nation has a treasure trove of wine history from top to bottom, specializing in unique indigenous varieties that are becoming better known each day. If you pair this wonderful juice with phenomenal, hearty inland and ocean-based dishes, and you will quickly see why Portugal has become one of our favorite places in the world to eat and drink.
