Portuguese Wines

Just finished tasting a "vast" collection of different Portuguese table wines, i.e., no "dessert Port" wines included.

Though at first tasting, and they certainly were that for me, I did not find much to distinguish them other than most of them being big and tannic.

After tasting some of them a few more times, I was able to distinguish a few notable characteristics that made me appreciate them more.

However, I still prefer the classics wines of California and Virginia that I am more accustomed to drinking.
