Quinta do Pôpa Contos da Terra Douro 2015 

Medium ruby with purple hue color. Nose of mixed berries with smoke, flowers, leather and meat aromas, very typical of this range of wines from Portugal, which I like! The wine shows some strenght but is not bitter nor rough since there is qualitative fruit flavors paired with spicy and leather notes, then ends in a silky finish. This is some rocking juice for its price! Good+ (88) 

Blend of tinta roriz (35%), touriga franca (30%), touriga nacional (20%), tinta barroca (15%). Aged in tanks. Alcohol level of 13,5%

Available in SAQ stores for 15,35$ (Code SAQ : 13073065)

Michele Chiarlo Le Orme Barbera d’Asti 2013 

Dark ruby color. Nose of black and red berries, lot of spices notes, some earth and stays fresh. Fruit loaded on the palate with again spices and a touch of bitterness. Acidity brings freshness and paired with its structure, it allows this wine to be paired with a lot of dishes. One of my favorite wines when I go visit family and friends, especially when I don’t know what we’re eating. Good+ (88)
