For The Love Of Port

Hi guys, I want to give you the heads up about this. The date is confirmed but still some very small details for the menu and pricing are left to confirm to get the final price of this evening.

I am organising a special evening with Dirk Niepoort in Montreal. We'll showcase his wines alongside one of the very best food table in Montreal : Le Club Chasse et Pêche. We have planned a custom menu to fit with 7 of his wines and one Port. It should be a very special occasion both the meet the man and discover how great Douro wines can be with food.

I'll post the final details here of course. So if any of you want to make the trip, I'll be please to help you find accomodation in the area.

I hope to see a few of you!

Excellent news !!
A must ( I couldn't resist )

Nice going Fred,

please do share the details... I'm a big fan of Niepoort and hope to be able to make that.. and the chance to discover a restaurant that I'm not familiar with is always fun.

Maybe, I could pre-order a Garrafeira 77 from Dirk and pick it up later this summer in person. (July in Portugal is high on my wish list for this year).

Is he here for some other Port/Wine / ICEP / SAQ event in April?

later

Paul, unfortunately I don't think he'll bottle the 77 Garrafeira yet this year, we had a talk about this recently.

He's mainly coming for the event. I've been trying to convince him for more than 2 years. He'll also do some promotion and visits with his wine agency in Québec.

I haven't received the ICEP date for this year. I'll share as soon as I get them. Christiano Van Zeller should be in Montreal before the end of February, I'll keep you posted if some activities are organized for the public. Of course don't miss the Montreal wine fair in late March, last week-end.

That was quick,

just because it isn't bottled doesn't mean we can't reserve/pre-order/pre-pay or verbally demonstrate interest..

any get together around the topic of port or portuguese wines is good for me.

Whoever meets Dirk, please send him cheers
