Boeuf Bourguignon is one of my faves. I served it at our family's Christmas dinner last year. Everyone is requesting it again this year. Perhaps, a tradition is beginning. It's funny that you ask about favorite olive oil regions because I…

Dear Bill, I'm delighted you passed your exam for Rhone and Provence. I stand corrected. I appreciate Burgundy so much that I seem to have Burgundy on my mind. Yes, I enjoyed a lovely one recently and half of it went into the pot for Boeuf…

Thank you, Melissa. I appreciate your comment very much It had plenty of challenge, although it was actually Rhone and Provence. The Burgundy exam will be available next year which is my preference of course. Next, I will continue writing, blogging,…

Wino, I didn't take the scholar exam but it was apparently difficult from talking with those he did take it. The Rhone and Provence were both fair but challenging exams. You must seriously study the manual in detail. You can't rely on your…

Dear Bill,

I'm delighted you passed your exam for Rhone and Provence. I stand corrected. I appreciate Burgundy so much that I seem to have Burgundy on my mind. Yes, I enjoyed a lovely one recently and half of it went into the pot for Boeuf Bourginon. It was a delicious meal.

Do you have a favorite growing area for olive oil?

All the best,
Melissa

Dear Bill,

Congratulations on passing your master's level in wine for Burgundy and the Rhone. Preparing for sensory recall of different vintages and producers must have required intense study. All your studying had great results. You must be very happy. What is next for you?

All the best,

Hi Bill,

Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also called Códega do Larinho is fantastic, with citrons aromas of tangerine and orange.
Portugal Dão region has the most gastronomic wines: fresh, intense, elegant with very nice acidity, made with autochthonous grapes from very particularly varieties.
Just try.
I am a producer in Portuguese Dão region, and I suggest you to taste an old Dão.

Just see what Paul White Thinks about as:

“So far, Portugal has managed to remain true to its traditions, while at the same time offering up a huge range of distinctive grape varieties and unusual wine styles precisely when many of us are tiring of endless New World makeovers of French varietals.

Dao has a lot going for it in that respect: first rate grape varieties firmly rooted in granite-based ‘terroir’ that sparkles back like diamonds, all this shaped by a growing season that’s relatively gentler and longer than other Portuguese regions. Although relatively unknown and sometimes tricky to pronounce, Dao’s red wines offer consumers genuinely new and exciting tasting experiences.”

Visit please our web-site, for now it’s just in Portuguese, but to see photos you don’t need any translation: www.quintadaboavista.eu

Hope to hear from you soon.

You're welcome,
I was born in this area and I must confessed that I love this place. It's a great place to find good wines, that's why I'm just starting to launch an amazing organic french wine from Vinsobres, in US market.
What is your favourite wine from Rhône Valley?
Cheers,
