Two Great Portuguese Tastings In Virginia this weekend

Two Great Portuguese Tastings In Virginia this weekend.

I'll be at The Wine Cabinet in Reston from 1-5.  We are actually pouring the fantastic Barros 2011 Vintage Port (94 points Wine Spectator.)  Young?  Yes.  Too young??  You tell me. Come and try this highly rated and collectible port for yourself for free!  

Here is what Roger Voss of The Wine Enthusiast has to say about the 2011 vintage in Porto,

"Considered the best vintage in the last twenty years, these small production Ports are must buys.

Quantities of these great wines are smaller than ever. The Symington group made less than 20,000 cases across seven brands. In short, this means that if you’re a Port lover, you should buy the 2011s as soon as they’re distributed."



Then head on over to Wine Styles in Montclair where Sommelier Connor Smith will host the encore "Wines of Portugal" tasting event from 5-9.  (You can pop in for a great Greek dinner next door at Giorgio's while your at it.  Chef Mike is famous for his specials!)
