A Day In the Douro (Part 1)
At the very end of vintage I spent a day in the Douro with Jancis Robinson, tasting wines from some of the leading producers in the Cima Corgo. It was a clear, warm, sunny day (the last before heavy rain fell) and many of the tastings were conducted outside in the vineyard with breathtaking views of the Douro and its tributaries, the Torto and Pinhão rivers.
