from www.dinela.com interview with Steve Goldun, wine director for palate food + wine
Keep an eye out for more Portuguese wines on local lists. “People are looking for value,” says Goldun, and Portuguese wines are “very well priced, the whites in particular.”  

Goldun expects “vinho verde,” which translates to “green wine,” to continue to make inroads. “It’s nine to ten percent alcohol, spritzy, you can drink a lot of it in the heat, it’s very refreshing, clean and crisp. It’s just easy to drink. It’s a good party wine. I see a future in that.”
