Talk-A-Vino

I have to break the tradition today – there will be no wine quiz for you to solve. Instead, I’m going to share the experience with you.

As you know, my day time work had nothing to do with wine. But – because of that work, I’m spending this week, in Portugal – hence the title of this blog post. I’m not just in Portugal, I’m actually in the city called Porto – and this is where the Port was born. Over the next few days, I plan to learn as much as I can about Port – and share that with you. But, considering that I’m still jet-lagged, there is not much I can share at the moment – besides a few pictures. Rest assured – more pictures and notes are coming soon!

I have no idea what house is this, but I like it

Love the combination of old and new – only in Europe…

I’m sure you knew that I will not leave you without flowers

and more flowers

and more flowers…

When was the last time you saw $2/bottle wines?

Actually, a lot of very inexpensive wine

yes, I’m a sucker for the red roofs… Never can get enough of them…

That’s all I have for you for today, folks. Don’t worry – the wine quizzes will be back, just after we will talk a bit about Port. Cheers!
