For a wildly different take on the 50 Great Portuguese Wines by Joshua Greene, check out Joe Roberts account on his 1Wine dude Blog-complete with audio of Greene's decision making process. In a "Sliding Doors" sized difference in experience, Joe Roberts' shares his impressions from the fancy lunch presentation hosted by Greene and Evan Goldstein. We must have wildly different palates as well as our under and over achievers are pretty much flipped, but its great to remember that we all have different tastes and opinions.

Everyone seems to be wondering what the real point of this tasting was, and it is hard to make the argument that they are trying to get these wines into the US market without representation or even information about the wineries that importers and distributors would need to make these connections. Says Roberts, "No badges, partly because there would be too many, and partly because I
am also skipping price points (which would make “Overachiever” badges
moot) as many of these wines don’t yet have U.S. representation (get on
it, importers!)." Why not put up some Dude bucks and bring these limited release beauties right to your readership?
