Churchill Estates Douro

2011 Churchill Estates Douro- $17

Churchill Estates Douro

Single guys should jump all over this wine.

This wine from Portugal is a blend of 3 different grapes-

40% Touriga Nacional, 30% Touriga Franca and 30% Tinta Roriz.

Portugal is often overlooked as a top wine region on the world stage. It doesn’t get the same love that France, Italy, Germany and Napa get, but Portugal is an incredible wine growing region that grows some very different grapes. It’s for this reason that I really enjoy serving wines from Portugal. While everyone else is pouring the same boring Chards and Cabs, I like to uncork something different and interesting like this bottle.

This wine is perfect for that. This is a red blend that tastes like an elegant $75 wine, but at $17, it’s an absolute steal!

Welcome to Wine for Real People

My name is Frank Frausto. I'm a Level I Sommelier, but I'm just a regular guy that knows a little about wine. I started this blog because I got tired of the wine blogs that only catered to oenophiles. That only review expensive, hard to find wines that none of us will ever drink. That only cater to the 1%.

This blog is for everyday people that want to know a little more about wine that the average person. It features practical advice, wine reviews, and a no-nonsense approach to decode wine and take the snobbery out of enjoying a glass or two.

Cheers!
