This show is a recap of the wine experiences that we had while spending three weeks in Portugal and tasting through as much of the wines from that country as we could!

\\xa0

Our itinerary included:

\\xa0

The Algarve in the southern part of the country \\u2013 a beautiful, dramatic seaside area with sandstone and limestone cliffs, which drop into the sea. There, we stayed in Lagos, a lovely town with excellent food and some fantastic wine bars including Mosto (the best!), Taninos (also quite good), and Barbosa restaurant.

\\xa0

Other great restaurants were Pomo Italian and La Piazzetta Pizzeria Italiana in Odiax\\xe9re near Lagos (both run by real Italians with good Italian wine!), and Saffron Indian Restaurant.

Although we found that the native wines of the Algarve weren\\u2019t for us, we did have great bottles from Peninsula de S\\xe9tubal, D\\xe3o, and Douro, and some great Madeira and Port.

Then we spent a week in Cascais, outside of Lisbon. We visited the wine regions of Colares and \\xc9vora, a sub region of the Alentejo region.

\\xa0

I loved the wines of the oldest co-op in Europe in Colares \\u2013 Adega Regional de Colares, which has helped keep winemaking alive in this small region and in \\xc9vora/Alentejo, the magical wines of Fitapreta.
