The view from Burmester's reception room
After
an early flight from Porto to Tours we are now back in the Loire to
catch up and take stock of how the 2016 Loire vintage is going.
Certainly there is a well established fine spell of weather here
forecast to continue for some time, so good conditions for the moment to
harvest what is left – sadly small compensation for those hardest hit
by frost and mildew. Harvest updates to follow but today a few more pics from Porto and the Douro.
Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia: ridiculous photogenic!

Luiz Alberto: the master blender....
Some seafood at O Gaveto – great seafood restaurant
in Porto close to the ocean
2015 contacto – another Alvarinho treat from Anselmo Mendes
2002 Viña Gravonia from Tondonia
evidence that it is just Portugal
that makes good whites on the Iberian Peninsula .....

One of my favourite wines from the Adegga
mini-wine market on Saturady
