If you are just beginning to appreciate Port, Madeira or any beverage, it is important to learn how to taste it. It will improve your sense's ability to perceive, which makes wine far more enjoyable. Are you open to add a new dimension to your wine appreciation? Actually, anything you may drink. Begin now and seek out Jancis Robinson's book: HOW TO TASTE. It is a game changer!
Dorota is about to roam the vineyards at Porto Quevedo.

Quinta do Tedo, a small-to-medium sized producer in the Douro that is making really fine table wines and some excellent Ports too. But as important as that it ... Tedo is a very special place to visit, where guests are well looked after ... always!
Tomas Roquette, one of the Douro Boys and an excellent winemaker who is willing to take his time to help educate those interested in learning about Douro wines, Port, the Douro region and his country.
FOCUSED.
Time for dessert = time for Port!
Quinta de Chocapalha, a fine producer of wines from the Lisboa (formerly known as the Estremadura) region has 45 hectares planted to vine..Owned since the 1980s, the Tavares da Silva family waited until 2000 to launch their fine wine selection.
2011 Porto Quevedo Vintage Port.I'd like to hear your opinions on this particular bottling.What do you think of this VP?
A little slice of heaven.Douro magic!
This is an easy one, well ... maybe a little tricky: Who was the cartographer that produced this ... and in what year?
I'll admit being fascinated by the Douro schist stairways that link terrace above to terrace below. These are made out of the same type of schist that Port & Douro wine vines are planted. Usually they are extremely old and often times from the 19th century.
For now, until my tasting note appears in the newsletter, all I can say is, "Wow!"
