A nice pair++

Post by Roy Hersh »

Last night Stewart and his gal came over for a mini wine dinner. Five of us, with four drinking. We started off with a less than perfect Vinho Verde and followed by a bubbly from New Mexico. Those don't count.

We then had a very fine bottle of 2000 Ferreirinha, Quinta da Leda which was quite good, followed by a 2005 Dow's Vale do Bomfim which was good but nothing special. At $5 less for the latter bottle which I believe was $17, (so at $12) I would have seen it as a good value.

We finished the night with a stellar bottle of 1980 Ferreira. TNs appear on the homepage if you want more detail.
