• The Vineyards of Colares, A National Patrimony At Risk

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  Colares is centuries-old wine growing region on the Atlantic Coast of Portugal. A forty minute train ride from Lisbon, Colares enjoys a very different, adaptive agricultural practice than that found in vineyards only a few kilometers inland. The vines are planted in sand. Actually that is not quite true. The ...

• Protecting Portugal’s Wine Culture, Virgilio Loureiro

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  I came to Portugal knowing very little apart from what was commonly available in standard English language wine texts. Before touching down in Lisbon in advance of the European Wine Bloggers Conference, I could recite from memory, as any studious schoolboy could, all of the country’s major wine growing regions, ...

• The Work of ViniPortugal

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  On my last day in Lisboa I had still not properly thanked ViniPortugal for my visit. It is true that I had a brief exchange with the organization’s president Francisco Borba. And I had sent an e-mail. But I was still hoping for a longer face-to-face encounter. The opportunity came to me with a visit to ...

• Obrigado A Todos, Portugal

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  This first visit to Portugal shall not be my last. Given an extraordinary opportunity by ViniPortugal to attend the European Wine Bloggers Conference, I have come away with a deep respect and lasting affection for the culture of the country. Ten days is not enough time. How could it be? Ten days is not even enough ...

• Carcavelos Wine, A Family History, pt 1

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  I came to Carcavelos in search of the grounds where a regional wine museum will be built. Yes, I was looking for a patch of dirt. I had also hoped to speak with people familiar with its grand history of fortified wine production; but the idea of simply stepping off a train and into the life of a community is ...

• From Lisbon to Colares

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  Getting around Lisbon is very simple. And it is just as easy taking a combination of train and bus for day trips to local wine producing areas, to the DOCs in Greater Lisbon. I visited Colares the other day, for example, with absolutely no difficulty. From the Rossio train station it is just over two euros for the ...

• Traveling To Portugal and the EWBC!

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  Tomorrow morning I shall be leaving for Portugal and the European Wine Bloggers Conference (EWBC). It has been my great fortune to have been selected by ViniPortugal to attend. Arriving Sunday morning, the 25th, will provide me precious days prior to the EWBC, beginning Oct. 30th, to productively explore the ...

• Why We Are Not Dogs. Jonathan Nossiter’s Liquid Memory

  
  Reign of Terroir — Authority: 414
  “I acquired my love for the taste of wine as a small child when it was first dropped into my mouth or mixed in a glass of water”. This is not how the book begins. Liquid Memory follows no sequential narrative logic, one recollection does not force the next. For that is not how memory works.   Neither does the ...

  What Katie Wore — Authority: 425
  We went out for some delicious food yesterday at Terroirs – total recommendation, definitely tops KFC. Their wine list is bigger than the Bible. Katie’s birthday present from me is a little surprise trip away somewhere. We fly tonight – you can find out where we’ve gone tomorrow! I cannot wait. Katie is off ...
