Portuguese Douro Wine Region Celebrates 250 Years

The Portuguese Douro Wine Region is celebrating it's 250th year as the world's first demarcated wine region. The region is mostly known for Port, but also has many grapes not grown in other regions, such as tinta roriz. Read more about it here. If you're not a fan of Portuguese wine, try some tawny port for dessert and get a couple bottles of some other reds from Portugal, I'm sure you'll be pleased.
