• Get to Know Herdade do Esporão

  

  For many Esporão is the face of Portuguese wines. It is the best-selling Portuguese wines in the US, with their Monte Velho label one of the most recognized. However, there is much more to this winery that began in Alentejo 1997. Its commitment to the environment, society, and to non-conformity offer insight to the people…

• #Food & #Wine Pairing: Going Hardcore Carnivore with Troon Wines

• Molise: The Land of Gladiators

• Time Is On Our Side

  

  What improves with age? That is kind of a loaded question. I believe my knowledge and wisdom is improving with age; however, my hearing and eye sight is not!

  Imagine a place where nature is wild and uncontaminated. A region flanked by mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. It is lush and green in the spring, summer and fall, and covered in glistening snow in the winter. It is filled with picturesque medieval towns, castles, modern resorts and fantastic food…
