Last friday (Feb. 13th) was the most famous wine dinner of Portugal. We can find the best winemakers, producers... all persons with some connection with the wine industry. The most important wine magazine here reveals the awards of the Portuguese wine world. It's a very interesting dinner; we can talk and exchange some ideas with other professionals, taste a lot of good wines (some will be released to the market in 2008) and we can "see the bests" of 2008. The most important award is the best winemaker, won by Rui Reguinga, probably for his career, because this was not his best year as a winemaker, in my opinion. The best company was Herdade do Esporão... our neighbours and friends. I think these were the most important awards. At the dinner some of the best wine I tasted were: Valle Pradinhos White 2007, Redoma White Reserva 2007, Kompassus Private Collection Bairrada Red 2005 , Pintas Character Red 2006, Quinta Sant'Ana Sauvignon 2008, Bacalhoa Moscatel Roxo 1998,....
I'm already waiting for next year...
