($15): Tejo, formerly known as Ribatejo, is a region just across the Tagus River from Lisbon, which is now starting to focus on higher quality wines rather than their traditional bulk production.  This blend of Arinto, a grape indigenous to the Iberian Peninsula, and Chardonnay works well. The Chardonnay provides richness and roundness, while the Arinto brings acidity and a trace of invigorating bitterness, making this a better choice for a hearty seafood stew rather than as a stand-alone aperitif.
