Walk into any wine shop in the United States and you’ll likely to see signs for offerings from Italy, France and Spain. But there’s another Iberian country that also draws from the ancient traditions of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans to produce world-class wines that are equally—and even of higher quality, richer flavor and personality—than their most famous European counterparts.

The Portuguese have been making wine for millennia and barely crack the top-ten wine exporting countries in the world, just ahead of the United Kingdom, but its quintas (wineries) generate exquisite and fresh alternatives to Malbecs, Barberas and Chardonnays. These are bottles that should be appearing on your table.

At Sommtable, we have a passion for finding incredible wines and spirits – I believe they connect everything we love in the world: Food, Art, Music, and People.  Sommtable’s mission is to introduce the American wine enthusiast to hard-to-find, Portuguese boutique wines that present not only extraordinary flavor, but from producers also committed to sustainability.

You’ve probably heard of Port and Vinho Verde, but we also bring you offerings from Castelão and Fernão Pires, grapes that are native to Portugal and have distinctive characteristics that will expand your palate to a world of new flavors.
