Douro DOC
Douro is a Portuguese wine region centered on the Douro River in the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro region. It is sometimes referred to as the Alto Douro (upper Douro), as it is located some distance upstream from Porto, sheltered by mountain ranges from coastal influence. The region has Portugal's highest wine classification as a Denominação de Origem Controlada (DOC). While the region is associated primarily with Port wine production, the Douro produces just as much table wine (non-fortified wines) as it does fortified wine. The non-fortified wines are typically referred to as "Douro wines".
The style of wines produced in the Douro range from light, Bordeaux style claret to rich Burgundian style wines aged in new oak.
History
There is archaeological evidence for winemaking in the region dating from the end of the Western Roman Empire, during the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, although grape seeds have also been found at older archaeological sites. In Medieval times from the mid-12th century, Cistercians had an important influence on winemaking in the region, through their three monasteries Salzedas, São João de Tarouca and São Pedro das Águias.

The Tent
by: DredgWe need some light, find the lantern
Unzip the tent, we can use the moon
I'm going out into the weeds
To gather everything we need
So stay, stay until I'm done
Until I'm done searching for a clue
Even the faintest glint of light
Can guide me right back to you
You had no choice but to run and to go
(I'll get you)
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Through the dark, through the dark
I've gotta get back to you
You're the lighthouse on the shore
The beacon is my guide
The trail of crumbs, I'm fueled by your light
By your light
You had no choice but to run and to go
(I'll get you)
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Through the dark, through the dark
I've gotta get back to you
The distance we maintain is a stable foundation
The trail of crumbs is my motivation, motivation
We have no choice but to run and to go
(I'll get you)
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
Oh, I'm down for you and I'll be coming home
Anything that you need, anything at all
