Where in the Wine World is WineTalent


Just got up to a foggy morning in the Duoro Valley--staying at a beautiful hotel near Sabroso, Portugal. Yesterday I was in the Alentejo area of Spain. The area has gentle rolling hills with lots of olive and oak trees. Ferdinand the Bull looks quite content under a beautiful oak tree here smelling the flowers. Looking for a little closure here--where am I? Or more precisely, what am I standing next to? This is something for the cork board back at home.

Yes indeedy Susi--In the cork oak forest of Alentejo. So impressed by the cork trees, and intrigued by them. Definitely a renewable resource, and fun to see all the wildlife in those forests. Although I like screw tops, seeing how corks are produced was enlightening. Thanks for the note Susi--Ciao, off for a wine tasting.
