There is a trade tasting on 25th in Seattle, 27th in Sam Fran, and 31st in Vancouver.

I assume this is a different one then????

Found their webpage. It appears the Chicago one has a public tasting as there is link to buy tickets (that doesn't work BTW). This one appears to only be qualified trade and media.

The one in Seattle on the 25th is AEVP, and NOT the Wines of Portugal tasting, which IS in SF as noted.

Yes, leave it to the Wines of Portugal, AEVP and Confraria do Vinho do Porto to all come to these cities at the same time, or not ... but yes, very confusing for the consumer, no less so ... the wine trade and media.

The US organizer has done an amazing job with the budgets they have have to work with and the short advanced notice they are given.
