I can see that you had a god tasting on Portuguese Wines, you had there very god winemakers, next month in Oporto there will be a very god wine tasting developed by a wine magazine, you can see all at http://www.essenciadovinho.com/default.php?lingua=1 , I will go there for two days, to taste and to make some connections.
But in the end of this year we will have another wine tasting developed by other wine magazine, but this time in Lisbon, you can also see all at http://www.essenciadovinho.com/default.php?lingua=1 , the only problem with this one is that is all in portuguese. I had a stand on this last fair and it was a sucess.
Anyway if you can come to visit one of this tastings and spend some time in Portugal on vacations.
Best Regards

Hello, a few months ago there was a small news in a wine magazine in Portugal about Winer made in Canada, Ice Wine? How does it work, the grapes are frozen in winter? All the winerys work the same way, I mean with this called Ice Wine?
I have to find some of thIS Canada Wine to taste.

Welll, if you decide to visit Sicily, let me know, so that I can suggest you a couple of good tips ( cities, where to buy the chocolate of Modica or the "Dwarf Aubergine" a tiny sort of this vegetables....).
Let me know also if you find the apulian wines I suggested you.

Ohh! The best Primitivo I have ever tasted is the Primitivo producted by the "Consorzio Produttori" (Lyrica and Madrigale)
I'm pleased to attach their intertesting web page endowed with technic card.

Hi David,
thank you for inviting me in you circle of friends.
Regarding the whales, here in Italy there is a so called "Sanctuary of the Whales": it's located among Corsica and Liguria/Genua (a north west region of Italy).
I attach the link of the related web page where you can find the exact location and sort of cetaceans one can see!

I've been also in the Azoras, where one can find gorgeous whales
(unfortunately I'vent seen a single whale...only dolphins).

As regards the Cerasuolo di Vittoria, to be honest, I dont know the specific valley but I can suggest you a couple of excellent "brands" of Cerasuolo: Planeta and Donnafugata. I don't know if they are easy to find in Canada.
All the best
Sara

Hi David!

Thanks for the note. I am glad you liked our work.

Have a good one, and nice to meet you here on wine2.0.!

Alice

you are right! the only thing you can be sure at Vinitaly is the rain, even in a sunny morning: do not forget your umbrella!
good luck for your leg, anyway. ciao

Ciao David !

it's nice to meet you !!

Thanks for inviting us to be a friend, David. Your Italy wine tours sound fabulous. Hopefully you'll make it out to the East Coast one day and join us in the award winning DesBarres Manor Inn restaurant for a Nova Scotia wine dinner.
