Continuing our theme this weekend, we’ll be pouring these two from Portugal. Stop on by, try, and buy.

2013 Esporao Alandra    ($9)
Antão Vaz, Perrum and Arinto
Fragrant and elegant with floral as well as lime and other citrus aromas and full dry fruit. A lovely little wine from Portugal.
12.5% by volume

2012 Tuga Douro    ($9)
Portugal
Red fruits and spicy aromas. The mild maceration preserves the typical flavors of the varieties that show its potential after bottling. The palate is very gentle and sweet, with well balanced acidity and fine tannins. Pairs well with Mediterranean and Asian food.
