Mini Wine Tasting with Catavino & Adegga

While visiting our friends from Adegga, during a recent Lisbon trip, we got the opportunity to also meet the Catavino’s, otherwise known as Gabriella & Ryan Opaz. Besides finally getting to put faces to names & emails, we also got to eat and drink wine!

Catavino

Although, a long drive home meant we’d miss the deliciousness soon to come out of the kitchen, we did squeeze in a mini wine tasting, with 3 whites Gabriella and Ryan brought for all of us to try. We also, learned a valuable lesson… next time there’s wine, food and this gang, we’re staying for the weekend!

The wines:

Planalto Douro Reserva, 2006
Casa de Paços , 2005
Quinta de Paços Arinto Reserva, 2005

For detailed tasting notes, plus the recipes for the great dinner we missed, stroll on over to Catavino.

      It was good to be all together. We definetely have to repeat the experience with more time! (and more food and wine!)

      Agreed! And maybe we should think about a breakfast run to Pasties de Belem one of these visits ;o)

      It was wonderful to meet you both as well Eddie, and at the very least, hopefully we’ll see you both very soon at the EWBC ;-)
