Any port in a storm; port wine that is!
The historic city of Oporto (Porto) lies on the north side of the Duoro River close to the Atlantic and on the south side of the river is Gaia, where all the Port wine bodegas and tasting rooms are located. Either way, north looking south or south looking north, you have a splendid view!
Andalucia is the southern region of Spain and home to the famous fortified Sherry (or Jerez) wines. Sailing along the beautiful coastline from Puerto Sherry near Cadiz all the way to the Guadiana river was a treat!
Sherry, mon Cherie!
Jerez is the Spanish name for the southern region of Spain in Andalucia and its famous fortified wines. The name Sherry was brought to the area by the Moors of Northern Africa and refers to the same wine and region. There’s a lot more to Sherries than the Bristol Cream and Dry Sack varieties that Americans are most familiar with. Come along and learn more about this lovely area and its wines!
