    “Parker’s Wine Bargains: The World’s Best Wine Values under $25 (published, 2009). “Portugal is full of fine values that manage to make it to international markets despite the exchange rate fluctuations that wreak havoc on retail pricing here… Plus, they come in distinctive blends that are hard to replicate elsewhere… s well as reasonably priced for the most part… Alentejo’s wines are immensely popular in Portugal. Transitionally, it is one of the go-to regions for value wines. The wines here are frequently called “international” for their tendency to blen red grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah with local grapes like Trincadeira, Alicante Bouchet (French, but perhaps at its best in southern Portugal), and others.””

From San Francisco to Portugal – from Portugal to San Francisco.

There couldn’t possibly be another Portuguese winery more thrilled than we were at winning the BEST of NATION Special Award for Portugal from the San Francisco International Wine Challenge 2008. There’s a very simple reason – San Francisco is my native town, albeit I have now lived longer in Alentejo, than in Marin County (on the Northern side of the Golden Gate Bridge) where I was born and raised.

In the 10 years since we first entered our wines into international competitions, we have won a Best of Nation award 5 times – 3 times in San Francisco, and twice from Vinitaly, 10 Trophies, 50 Golds and Grand Golds, 82 Silvers, and a whopping total of over 270 medals.

We have highlighted what we consider the most noteworthy of those achievements here in our Hall of Fame.
