Top 10 movie quotes about wine

1.  “Wine is like people. The wine takes all the influences in life all around it, it absorbs them and it gets its personality." - A French Kiss

(Words of wisdow, indeed.)


2. "Take a few lessons. Grow some grapes. Make some good wine. You cannot do it that way. … You have to have it in your blood. You have to grow up with the soil underneath your nails, and the smell of the grape in the air that you breathe. The cultivation of the vine is an art form. The refinement of its juice is a religion that requires pain and desire and sacrifice." - Bottle shock

(Come to Portugal, experience the Douro Culture, Gustavo. Then you'll know about passion and great wine making! )


3. "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." - Hannibal

(we got nothing for this one. brrr)


4. "I myself subscribe more to the European philosophy of life, my priorities leaning towards wine, women and, well that's about it." - Alfie

(yes, Alfie, we can show you every Portuguese wine out there! Come, come a little closer.)


5. "Oh, actually all champagne is French, it’s named after the region. Otherwise it’s sparkling white wine. Americans of course don’t recognize the convention so it becomes that thing of calling all of their sparkling white champagne, even though by definition they’re not." - Wayne's World

(hey, know-it-all, just shut up!)


6. "“I never drink…wine.” - Dracula

(oh...your highness...err.. , you would drink a portuguese one, for sure!)


7. " I love how wine continues to evolve, how every time I open a bottle it’s going to taste different than if I had opened it on any other day. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive — it’s constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks — like your ‘61 — and begins its steady, inevitable decline. And it tastes so fucking good." - Sideways

(poor souls, they don't even know about the golden Douro valley...)


8. "My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done, such as drinking Dom Perignon ‘53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s just as bad as listening to the Beatles without earmuffs!" - Goldfinger

(007, we also don't forget to mention Port wine as well.)

9. "I can certainly see that you know your wine. Most of the guests who stay here wouldn't know the difference between Bordeaux and Claret." - Fawlty Towers

(somebody needs to learn their wines (portuguese, portuguese, portuguese)

10. " I like to drink wine more than I used to". - The Godfather

(yes, we get you bro. specially if the wine is portuguese)

Cool and elegance in the bootle: wine of the week!

Chão da Quinta - Red Wine

Our wine of the week is from Chão de São Francisco. The Quinta de S. Francisco goes back to the XVIII century, it used to be the main house of the Viscount of Treixedo in Lourosa de Cima, with majestic gardens, whose beauty was developed in baroque style, in a city known as "the most baroque of Portugal".

This Chão da Quinta is a wine from the region of Viseu, which is a region full of gastronomy delicacies and rich in folklore and cultural experience, is kind of perfect to be a wine's birth place!

It's a wine that presents himself with elegance and coolness,  with shiny and brilliant ruby color that has a hint of purple. The scent of this wine it has a tone of ripe red fruits, plumps and blackberries, together with a light touch of rare spices such as black pepper, cocoa and vanilla. As you taste it it reveals a nice structure and volume. You are going to drink this wine but, as the years go by, if by accident you kept it in the bottle you will be surprised by how well it has evolved.
