Quinta de Ventozelo Douro Cister da Ribeira 2000

Served With: Pizza

Five Things: oak, tobacco, cherry, earth, juicy

COO: Duoro, Portugal

Notes: The pizza was loaded with broccoli rabe, spicy sausages and tangy cheese and this well-balanced red from the Duoro region (one of my all-time favorites) came through with flying colors -- and was a steal at $10. It doesn't get much better than that!
