50 GREAT PORTUGUESE WINES Chosen for 2014 by Joshua Greene Posted by Philip S. Kampe

I attended a magnificent event revealing the '50 Great Wines of Portugal'.
Joshua Greene, Editor and Publisher of Wine & Spirits Magazine, made the final selection, after a tedious tasting venue.

Evan Goldstein, founder of Full Circle Wine Solutions (SF) was the emcee for the event.

Special Achievement Awards were presented to select dignitaries, which, included:

Importer of the Year: Wine In Motion (NJ)
Restaurants of the Year: Pier 95 (NY) and Hearth (NYC)

Independent Retailer of the Year: Astor Wine & Spirits (NYC)

Chain Retailer of the Year: Binny's Beverage Depot (Chicago)

The Portuguese export market grew 15% in the 2013 calendar year.
I predicted the 'new trend' in wine to be from the TEJO region in 2014. Joshua Greene
picked a wine from Tejo, #18, in his top 50.
The Top 50 are in tasting order, according to Joshua Greene, not, as is customary, from the Traditional Best #1 to #50.
What is your favorite?
