John Marshall Chapter of American Wine Society


Port 101 presentation was a nice event.
Six Ports were coupled with ripe cheeses on bread and chocolates made for a very nice evening.

This photos is taken in the barrel room of nearby LaGrange Winery where our group meets once a month.

Photos of trip to Northern Portugal were the back-drop behind the Presenter.

If you have yet to visit Northern Portugal and tour the Quintas along the River Duro~ and travel into the Duro Valley, make sure it's on your "Places to See Before You Die" list. We found that area to be a fabulous experience. I would love to rent a Villa and live a few months of my life there.

Southern Portugal~which reminded me of Northern California~just didn't stir this emotion for me.

What is a Quinta? Quinta in Portuguese means "farm." The grapes are grown on picturesque mountain slopes, harvested and processed on "Quintas."
