Catavino's August Tasting highlighted the wines of Portugal. I complained to Ryan that there was a dearth of these wines in the Twin Cities. He suggested that I head on over to St. Paul to check out Solovino on Selby Avenue. As usual, he was right on. The selection of Portuguese wines was excellent. Not only were there 10 to 15 reds available, but also several roses and at least 5 or 6 whites, in a variety of price points. It's a long way to go, but if you are serious about finding more Portuguese wines, I highly recommend it. BTW, I am envious of your alfresco dining experience on the Terrassa rooftop! Ryan and Gabriella really know how to throw down a good meal. Regards, BB Hello Tim,
