A instrutora experiente, Janelle Shelest, começou com o padrão português dos anos 70, Mateus Rosé - levando todos nós, apesar da etnia, à nossa juventude; voltando a uma tempo em que Mateus Rose era a única seleção de vinhos portugueses disponível em Winnipeg. Para qualquer outro vinho tinto, naquela época, tínhamos que nos contentar com o favorito espanhol Sangre del Toro, que vinha com uma pequena mascote de plástico adornado com cachecol espanhol, e [divulgação editorial] ainda é /&>&5 (9< 5&%&!;I&3 saudáveis. O que é vinho? Alem das uvas, existem quatro componentes: açúcar; ácido; taninos, aos quais algumas pessoas são alérgicas; e, claro, álcool.

It’s cheap; the bottle looks good, and no one is the wiser that it’s an inexpensive Portuguese.” As I picked up glass four and listened to Janelle talk about the Portuguese stamp of approval -- DOC (the equivalent of Canada’s VQA) and the less strict standard, GP (VR), I thought about how many times I’d visited a Pingo Doce superstore in Lisbon and simply bought the more economical VINHO (table wine), for day-to-day dinner consumption. The next three wines started with the very dry Cabriz -- even for me! Still, I didn’t spit it out. A serious red at 14% alcohol, Cabriz has a copious amount of tannins, and in considering feedback from the Edmontonian couple sitting in front of us, is just barely a passable standard from the Dão valley. I ate some crackers and drank some water. My tongue felt as though it were tucked into ? C/%%L >P?:R&1@ )1!PPB J 5&%/3&' 19 38!1 !1 9/1 G :91 &1":!(?PPL ?885985!?1& %95 ?

The husband of the Edmontonian couple chose the four-glasses-in sample of Portal, to share with us his personal preferences in Argentinian wines. What about Chilean? I asked, mostly to be a jerk, as Janelle listed off up-and-coming wines from Dão and Douro valleys. Edmonton man turned up his nose as Janelle talked about Periquita, which I know to be the same for the export market as it is for domestic consumption. It’s good. Those of you who know it, will know.
