This time we taste a delicious red wine blend (Pedra Cancela) from the Dǎo region of Portugal featuring the Touriga Nacional grape. This red wine, a 2018 Pedra Cancela Winemaker's Selection, is tasty and less than $20!
My journey to complete my WSET level 2 and my WSET 3 certifications was populated with many tastings and bottles of fine wine. In the older posts, read about my journey in this blog that featured wines in both of the courses. My next stop on my journey was doing my own wine tours in the Okanagan for 6 years. Now I'm retired (again) and just drinking - and tasting - wine! Join me as we taste a new wine every couple of weeks!
