It’s this Thursday at 8 PM EDT!
WOW! What a night!! I am so pleased everyone enjoyed our Virtual Tour of Argentina last Thursday evening! Loli Marino was live from Buenos Aires and took us on a tour with breathtaking photos, Julia Zuccardi, from the Zuccardi family, shared their vineyard story (Zuccardi was voted the #1 winery in the world for 2020), and Warren Egnal, our Wine Maestro, had us cracking up as he guided us through the wine tasting. I’d recap a little more about it, but decided to share the video so you can see more about our fun adventure!

While recent events have kept us off planes and, well, on our couch, travel remains one of the best ways to feel a global interconnectedness with humanity. So, let’s use the power of our minds along with local destination specialists, Jiordi from Portugal and Zvonimir from Croatia, as they join us to bring these destinations alive with a compelling visual presentation along with Q&A. Warren Egnal, from DouxVin, will be sharing his expertise on wines that we’ll be tasting from the various regions. The experience will truly touch all your senses.
Portugal is a magical country!!
Last May my daughter and I traveled there for two weeks exploring medieval castles, cobblestone villages, captivating cities and their golden beaches. Portugal is filled with exciting history, great food and wine and idyllic scenery. We had a memorable time and I can’t wait to share it with you.
HERE’S THE PLAN FOR THE NEXT 2 VIRTUAL TOURS:
2 Virtual Travel Tours and Wine Tasting nights remain. Each night, we’ll use Zoom Video Conferencing to present the destinations along with 1 white and 1 red from each region. Not a wine drinker, no worries. Join us to be inspired by these amazing destinations, with fun and laughter along the way.
The second virtual tour will take us around Portugal on Thursday, September 10th at 8 PM EDT, 5 PM PDT with Jordi Vilaseca, Director of Destination Spain and Portugal, live from Lisbon, Portugal.
And for the third virtual tour we are going to experience Croatia on Tuesday, September 15th at 8 PM EDT, 5 PM PDT with Zvonimir Androic, Founder of Via Tours Croatia, live from Zagreb, Croatia.
You’ll see gorgeous photos and videos of the region and what you will experience when you travel to these destinations. After each presentation you will be introduced to the wines you were shipped, and we’ll taste, ask questions and have a great time.
The Beauty of Portugal
Here are the Highlights of the Selected Wines
PORTUGAL
(1) 2013 Quinta do Noval Cedro do Noval & (1) 10-Year Old Tawny Douro Valley
One of the oldest port houses, Quinta do Noval is also arguably the greatest. It is unique among top port houses in that most of its ports are made from estate-grown fruit and, notably, all of the vintage Noval wines are from the single Quinta do Noval vineyard.
CROATIA
(1) Vie di Romans Flors de Uis and (1) Leone de Castris Primitivo Manduria Villa Santera
The production area for Primitivo di Manduria wines stretches eastwards from Taranto, along the Gulf of Taranto coast.
The vineyards are located in a niche microclimate that benefits from soil rich in alluvial fans and minerals that have been carried there by glaciers over the millennia, as well as, the Bora winds from the east that result in large, daily temperature fluctuations. Flors di Uis is a fantasy term that in the Friulano dialect means “flowering of the grapes” and recalls the sweet, floral fragrance of the grapevine blossoms.
Please RSVP (Click Here) so that I know you will be attending. I will send you a Zoom Video Link for each tasting. Not a wine drinker? No worries!! I’d still love to have you join in. But please RSVP (Click Here) to get the Zoom link.
I, along with our special guest speakers look forward to sharing insights and tastes from these wonderful destinations. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me about the details and of course travel and to Warren for any questions about the wine.
See you on September 10th!
