Flew into Lisbon around 7pm last night on Queasyjet. Weather mild –up into the 20s. Met up at Rato with Per Karlsson, who is a very good wine photographer and who has also arrived early for the conference. Went to the Chafariz do Vinho where we had a bottle of Luis Pato's surprisingly rich white 2008 Vinha Velhas, which is a blend of Bical, Cerceal and Sercialinho grapes, with 50% fermented in stainless steel and 50% in second year chestnut casks for four months.
This morning it's misty and we will be off to Cortes de Cima catching a train from Lisbon to Cuba out in the Alentejo.
