Back home to Oporto, at the Cafeina Wine & Tapas Bar, 5 November 2008, late in the afternoon with Vasco Mourão and João Bruschy, celebrating life.
A new rendering of Portovino is about to start. We have discussed the new rules (Portovino is now in its 3th format since its inception back in 2005), while Vasco presented us with a white Trimbach, Cuvée Fréderic Émile, Riesling, Alsace, 2003. Powerfull. And still a long way to go (some say this wines only show their best after their 15th year).
Trimbach is arguably the Alsace wine reference - in business since 1626. Within Trimbach wines the Cuvée Frederic-Emile is definitely noteworthy. And one of the 100.
