A very large turnout for last week's wines. Judging by the large volume of orders for the wines, tasters left satisfied with the wines flavors and value. The most ordered wines were the 2021 Beyra Reserva Branco, the 2017 Donna Maria Grand Reserva Tinto, and the 2019 Van Zellers Tinto Douro.

Worth noting, the 2021 Beyra Reserva Branco is extraordinarily rich and layered at a very low price. Don’t miss it, if you‘d like a dry rich wine at a very low price.
