- About Me:
- I am a marketer who has always loved wine. Even though I do not come from the wine industry, I had my first drink of wine when I was 3 years old (c'mon, it was in Russia, and it was for medicinal purposes). I am extremely active in the social media scene and have developed a presence on sites like Twitter and Facebook, and am an active blogger. I have been involved in two web-based startups, one of which has been focused on creating a convenient and empowering experience around grocery shopping and a home-cooked meal. Wine falls right in line with this passion of mine.
I am currently applying for Murphy Goode's "A Really Goode Job", and you can find me twittering on twitter.com/thegoodemaria and twitter.com/themaria, as well as blogging at http://bit.ly/thegoodemaria. You can vote for me on http://bit.ly/vote4maria

- 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.”
All the best
