Portovino meeting at the Cafeína Wine & Tapas Bar, 5 November 2008. One of Oporto’s best. Check Cafeina.
The 3 of us (Vasco Mourão, João Bruschy and I) we had some very nice Portuguese style tapas (we call it petiscos) with a red Quinta de Baixo, Garrafeira, Bairrada, 2004. A Portuguese old style wine: fruity with organic taste.
Bairrada wine region stays in a plain south of Oporto and North of Coimbra. Flashy labeled Quinta de Baixo is produced by 3 young producers under the brand Artwine. The 2004 Garrafeira is a strong, fruity red wine, great to have with the duck tapas.
