This week we travel by glass to the Iberian Peninsula to sip wines from the beautiful vineyards of Portugal. Our guest is our resident sommelier, Ferdy Mucerino, and we'll discuss Chef Nuno Mendes, cuisine, and wine all hailing from the gorgeous country of Portugal while pouring three delicious selections from the Vinho Verde, Tejo, and Duoro regions.
For our formal tasting, we begin with 2020 Mar Azul Vinho Verde D.O.C., a spritzy white blend from the Vinho Verde region. Next up is 2019 Tercius Vinho Tinto Tejo, a red blend created by the award-winning winemaker Antonia Barbosa. Finally, we pour 2019 Mentor Red Blend Douro D.O.C., a special red blend from the Duoro region made by the van Zeller family who has been producing port wine since 1715, with 14 consecutive generations involved in the wine trade.
At 27:00 minutes, towards the end of the podcast, Ferdy and Kristin reveal themselves to be Arconiacs, Only Murders In the Building on Hulu, and we'll chat briefly about this favorite podcast-themed television show.
