Women in Vancouver forced to drink Madeira

Post by Roy Hersh »

I was walking around the Vancouver Playhouse Wine Festival when I met two local women from Vancouver who told me they loved Madeira. It was simple to cure, since there was only one booth that was offering any and the owner is a good friend. Like the Pied Piper, I led them to Madeira but I did make them drink. The guy who walks up with the water bottles is none other than Miguel Roquette of Quinta do Crasto fame. If you have one minute, enjoy:

This was after I plied them with Douro wines and Port! :winebath:

I certainly didn't want them to wind up :drunk: :drunk:

There were still so many other good things left to taste!
