What do you taste?
Five wines from small Portuguese producers, chosen from the 250 or so bottles on our shelves. The selection follows what we are pouring at the moment, from different Portuguese regions.
The wines come with a creamy sheep’s milk cheese. It is not a full meal, more a Portuguese aperitivo before a late dinner.
Every wine is poured with its story: who made it, where, and why we chose it. You leave knowing what to ask for in a restaurant, and which bottle to take home.
Why put Portuguese wine and cheese together?
Because that is how Portugal drinks. Wine here is rarely served without something to eat, even in the smallest tasca. A few pairings we like, and that you can repeat at home:
| In the glass | On the board |
|---|---|
| A fresh white (Vinho Verde, Arinto) | Soft, young cheese, olives |
| A red from the Douro or the Dão | Presunto and cured sausage |
| Ruby Port | Blue cheese, dark chocolate |
| 10 Year Tawny | Aged hard cheese, dried fruit |
The Port with cheese is the one that surprises people. Salt and sweet, the way the Portuguese have done it for a long time.
