8 Up and Coming Portuguese Grapes ...
Sorry to cut and paste and run, but it is an excellent article on some of the best grapes in the country, think outside of the Douro.

Re: 8 Up and Coming Portuguese Grapes ...
It is a good article, and I like all of those grapes that I've tried (7 of them I think). But really, are Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional "up-and-coming?"
Re: 8 Up and Coming Portuguese Grapes ...
A very nice article, and I can see why Eric would say that two of the most well known grapes aren't exactly up and coming.
I do however agree with the article in so far that single varietals from Portugal is still very much an up'n coming market.
