- Most memorable experience around wine?
- One of my most memorable experiences happened in France several years back. We arrived in Mersault from Beaune for an evening wine tasting. It was a very dark and still January night and when we pulled into town, it was dead quiet, the city had tiny white Christmas lights everywhere and giant flakes of snow were starting to fall. Very surreal experience topped off with a tasting of some amazing wine.

- Hello Kent,
I am from Portugal, from Dão region, in the center north of this wonderful country, wine grower and wine maker, promoting my own wine.
Portugal has many autochthones grape varieties, red and whites.
White varieties are very interesting, with very different characters, but SYRIA also cold 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.”
Best
