I recently read good things were coming out of this region that was previously only known for Port. I took five bottles with various WS ratings from the local shop hoping to find something new and exciting. Unfortunatly, all I found was plonk. Am I missing somthing? Has anyone found a good bottle of this stuff or is it just hype?

Have enjoyed many bottles from there. Check out the Spanish tread or do a search.

GAD, if you have a World Market in your area (also known as Cost Plus World Market), they carry Altano from the Duoro. Good stuff, and dirt cheap at about $5 per.
