November 21, 2008. Having dinner with my lovely wife at our Oporto's favorite restaurant: Restaurante Terra.
We had the great Douro red Character, 2005, by Pintas. One of the best Portuguese red wines, made by my friends Jorge SerĂ´dio Borges and Sandra Tavares, themselves also husband and wife, of Wine & Soul fame. Character is made in a not so limited edition as Pintas is and out of younger vines (still 40 years old vines) and brilliant wine making.
It matched superbly with the Croquetes de Alheira.
