I liked this wine ...Thanks for the advice, Michael. I liked this wine so much that I would love to try a single-variety wine made with just Touriga Franca. And Marco, I will put the other Symington on my shopping list. This was the first time I've seen one of their wines, but now I know what I'm lookin for--and of course the Portuguese wine selections in most LA stores are woefully small.Dr. Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892131332003571463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053780638267491912.post-80079225814517951912008-02-19T06:38:00.000-08:002008-02-19T06:38:00.000-08:00Symington also produces another Douro, Vale do Bon...Symington also produces another Douro, Vale do Bonfim Reserva for about $13.

I worked for a Portuguese wine importer for a year or so and fell in love with a lot of Portuguese wines. <BR/><BR/>Seek out a single varietal of the Touriga Franca for a very unique wine - lot's of cherry and raspberry, really bright color, just a lot of fun. If you can find it, the small producer Encostas de Estremoz makes a bunch of single varietals that really let the fruit shine (including a very interesting Alacante Bouschet!).Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542645987371055923noreply@blogger.com
