They had that "Bagaso" or "Agua Dente" as they called it (fire water....about 180 proof) but I didn't drink that stuff except once or twice. I could get smashed easily enough on the cheap wine...and I did. Glad you keep memory of our Vinho Verde. Served cold it's a great summer wine. As to the "Bagaço" or "Agua Ardente", in cold winter nights, nothing is better to warm up. Now that I'm living in Grece, I found something very similar called "Tzipuro". Very good! You Portuguese???? Yep! With a wasted youth "Bagaço Certified". From where? I lived in Praia da Granja, on the beach not far from Espinho. Right around the corner from the local Casa Das Putas. Beach people. Further south, Praia Grande, near Sintra. Home of one of the best read wines "Colares". Cool. If I recall correctly all the rich folks in Lisboa have summer homes out that way. Anyway welcome to the board. Thank you, would love to introduce myself as a man of welth and taste. For now, being here, I for sure have the taste.
