Bravo pour un Francais parfait (et sans accent!).
Avez vous visite Joly en Anjou ou avez vous trouve ces vins aux USA? Je n'ai malheureusement pas le plaisir de connaitre ce vigneron; a mettre au programe du prochain voyage.

J'adore les vins de Nicolas Joly - ils sont extraordinaires!

And Francophone. Not too difficult, I was born there.
Savennieres! I don't think that many people heard of this one outside of theLoire Valley. Often a fantastic wine.

- About Me:
- Wine geek, not a wine snob. By day, I work as a sales representative for a small Massachusets-based wine wholesaler specializing in artisanal, value selections. By night I work as a cocktail server in a fine-dining restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I am currently working on certifications through both the WSET, the Court of Master Sommeliers and Barsmarts (like I said...wine-geek).
- Favorite Wine Website:

- Name your favorite wine or wine type:
- I could never pick just one! Top of the list in no particular order would be Riesling, Burgundy (Red and White), Vouvray, Savennieres, and anything terroir-driven, complex and expressive.
- Most memorable experience around wine?
- My first correct blind tasting: 2001 Domaine Dujac 1er Cru Gevrey-Chambertin.

Quinta da Boavista dates back from the beginning of the 18 century, and was at the time, as it still is today, a rural property with the main house, the cellars and all the rural workers accommodations inside.
By the end of the 19 century under my great grand father, the house underwent huge renovation that gave her today’s shape and size in the traditional style of the region rural houses – a big patio with a huge bread oven inside, around it the main house and the workers accommodations, the cellars and the warehouses, built in granite. By the end of the 20 century, my father took on his hands the project of adapting the house (witch was more or less in ruins) into a tourist unity with all the comfort and amenities that a guest house nowadays must have.
We produce like no other wine with conscience.
All the best
