    “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.””

Wine tasting means Christmas cheer for needy kids

Posted by Carrie on Friday December 4th, 2009 at 18:32

Christmas is a time to share and think of others. Let’s work together to spread a little bit of Christmas cheer to needy kids.

We have created a special Christmas 3/pack this year, consisting of 1 bottle of Aragonez 2005, 1 bottle of Syrah 2005 and 1 bottle of Azeite 2008, which will be sold at a special discounted price of 25€ (incl. iva) during the Christmas season. (The normal online value is 35€.)  For each Christmas 3/pack sold during this pre-Christmas season, 10€ will be donated to Casa das Cores, a shelter for abused children in Lisbon.  On 23/12 we will update this blog site with information on the total packs sold and the total amount raised for donation, which will be deposited on the same day to the account of the Casa das Cores.

You will have a chance to purchase this special Christmas 3/pack and taste some of our other wines at the Adegga Wine Market, in Lisbon, on the upcoming Tuesday holiday December 8th.  Or better yet, come to the Alentejo and take a Christmas 3/pack home with you! Saturday December 12th is the date of our Annual Danish Christmas Lunch and wine tasting.   Wishing you a very merry Christmas from all of us here at Cortes de Cima!
