It seems like forever since the G7 blew into town, but I bet if I looked it up its only been a couple of years at most (for the curious it was October 2009). A lot seems to have happened to this consortium in the interim – they no longer represent 7 wineries, due to attrition (some left some were bought out) only 5 wineries remain … but they do represent 7 of Portugal’s main regions: Douro, Vinho Verde, Bairrada, Dao, Lisbon, Alentejo and Terras do Sado. Five winery principals joined us for a presentation of the 7 regions, their wines, lunch and more wine – so let’s get right down to it.
