Talked a while ago with Bill.
He will visit Niepoort Cellars tomorrow and the head to Essência do Vinho for huge tastings.
He was invited to have dinner tomorrow, at Dirk's House, so he will have some nice stuff, that's for sure.

Re: Portugal Travel Help
Hi All, I am back now and had a wonderful trip.
João Rico was a fantastic host and a great guy to boot. Dirk was also fantastic and all the special treatment (And Wines) made this a trip to remember.
Please be patient, I will post some details, but probably not until this weekend, as I am catching up at work. Thanks again to all for helping me have such a great experience.
Roy, please let me know some guidlines on how to construct (Length, style, pictures, etc) the article and I would be happy to put something together.

Whether you are a subsciber to the newsletter or not, you can still see the recommendation of a fairly new book on Portugal, which I reviewed there. It gives many solid suggestions for travelers. Open your emails when it is sent tonight.
and give it a look.
