Cioncia

"Cioncia" is a word of Latin origin and means "Wine Stork". You see Normie, wine storks live in the same region of Portugal where they grow wine. One last Cliffie tidbit for you - they procreate with the same parter their entire life. Mrs. Vino would approve I"m sure. But of course you knew all that! This checks in as the perfect, inexpensive, casual, Tuesday night or Sat night barbeque wine. Portuguesse wines are known for their value. No surprise given the status of this countries economy. This is one of those wines that you see stacked high at the end of a row of wines in your local store - with a bright colorful sign and a cheap pricetag - under $10. Don't hesitate to pick up this one. I would also add that I'm learning that blends from Spain and Portugal almost never fail as cheap, casual sippers that are always pleasant. This one is a syrah and aragones blend. OK - so who out there has heard of the aragones grape variety. I don't even think Cliffie could pretend he knows that grape variety.
