Get off the beaten path

Ok, we all have our favorites, Cab, Chardonnay, Merlot, Riesling etc, and don't get me wrong, I love them too, sometimes all in one night....ok, not really, well....nevermind about that!  It's time to try a new grape, to step out and experiment.  Portugal is making some great wines these days with grapes you probably have never heard of.  I have been carrying them in my store for some time now and folks that try them have really enjoyed their aromas and flavors.  Grapes such as Touriga Nacional, Alfrocheiro or Touriga Francesa.  Ever try a Xarel-lo from Spain, it's a wonderful refreshing white wine.  Come on in to The Cellar and ask me for a new grape!
