For all you good and loyal folk who follow my scribbles, a little gift in the form of a wine tip: The 2014 Evel Douro by Real Companhia Velha, from Portugal’s Douro region in the north, costs between $10 and $12 but tastes like a $40 bottle of wine – and earns 90 points by some critics. The 2016 Evel Douro was ranked #50 of the top 100 best value wines in the world.
