Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Feb 25

Your Host is Inaki Castro of Maja Imports.

Boas Vinhas Red 2009 $9.99
This has a ruby/garnet color with aromas of red berries, plum and some cocoa. There is good structure in the mouth, full-bodied, and a very persistent finish.


Quinta do Encontro Bairrada Red 2008 $9.99
A blend with Merlot has certainly tamed the wild tannins of the Baga grape. A touch of wood goes with the sweet tannins and the ripe and juicy black fruit, finished with acidity. 89 pts, Wine Enthusiast


Cigarra Lisboa Red 2010 $9.99
An intensely flavored red, this wine offers bright, rich, dark red fruits that cling to a fine-grained texture. The linear acidity keeps the wine focused and helps make it infinitely drinkable.


Quinta da Romeira White 2010 $12.99
Produced from the Arinto de Bucelas white variety and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats Quinta da Romeira white shows a lemony colour with an intense aroma reminiscent of tropical fruit followed by a fruity very pleasant flavour.
