For The Love Of Port

The annual Wines of Portugal Tasting (ViniPortugal) will be in San Francisco on April 6th. Here is the link for tickets: http://winesofportugal.eventbrite.com/

Wines of Portugal will be hosting a tasting across the range of Portugal's wines, from the dry reds of Bairrada to the delicious whites of the Minho, and from the newly-renamed Tejo and Lisbon regions to the progressive offerings from Alentjo and Duoro. 45 wineries will be presenting their latest vintages at this in San Francisco. Don't miss the 100+ Portuguese wines you will get to taste at the tasting.

Appetizers provided by Taste Catering, showcasing an assortment of Portuguese dishes!

ALL PROCEEDS from ticket sales will benefit MEALS ON WHEELS of SAN FRANCISCO.

A very worthy charity and the event itself should be pretty great. Are you going David?

Looks like they will also be in NYC on April 4th...

I'll be missing this great event due to other travel plans but is anyone else planning on going? It's a great event and worth the day off work to attend. I do hope some of you can make it.

I might go, but it depends on how our pet is doing.

It would be great to hear some feedback on this event from someone who attended.

I went to this one and had a great time. Was sad to miss the talk that accompanied it but couldnt help tasting all the wines and having some delicious Queijo Serra da Estrela.

It was mostly a table wine event. The only Port house I remember was Burmester (it was offering a relatively recent vintage for tasting). There was no Madeira.

It was v well represented on the table wine front though. All the well known names were there.

Hi Miguel,

Great to have you here on the Forum. I hope you'll enjoy your time here and join in on some of the tastings that come up!
