Quinta do Ameal 2003 Escolha Loureiro (Vinho Verde)
- Editors' Choice
- $25
Wood and Vinho Verde don’t mix, say the pundits. They can, if the wood is handled as sensitively as it is here. The toast is there, but its job is to enhance and enlarge the dense, intense green fruit flavors. A fine white wine that’s creamy and delicious. Imported by European Cellars.

Anselmo Mendes 2005 Muros Antigos Alvarinho (Vinho Verde)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
Mendes specializes in Alvarinho in the far north of Portugal. With this powerful, intense wine he shows how good the grape can be and how good the 2005 vintage was. It’s full-bodied and intense, with just a touch of mineral and spritz. Imported by Aidil Wines & Liquor Inc.

Quinta do Ameal 2004 Loureiro (Vinho Verde)
- Best Buy
- $13
This top estate in the Ponte de Lima area produces beautiful, hand-crafted wines. This 100% Loureiro is almost Riesling-like in its perfumes, while its green fruit shows hints of an almond character, as well as piercingly clean ripeness and acidity. Imported by European Cellars.

Aveleda 2008 Alvarinho (Vinho Verde)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A full style of Vinho Verde, with fruit tannins giving a tight structure to the intense grapefruit juice. The wine is bone dry, achingly so to start, but then rounding sufficiently as the fine fruit flavors kick in.

Provam 2009 Portal do Fidalgo Alvarinho (Vinho Verde)
Rich and soft, classic creamed apple Alvarinho, with a great bite of apple skin acidity. The wine has a caramel edge, giving just an extra complexity and weight. A delicious, juicy, ripe and crisp aftertaste.
