Wine Tasting

On Friday evening, I along with a few friends went to a wine tasting with a difference.
The wines were very varied, all of which were Portuguese & excellent, ranging from some very nice quoffable whites to Special Reserva reds, allegedly selling for 37 euros a bottle. Portugal has invested millions of euros over the recent years and are really are getting their act together when it comes to wine making.
Along with the wines we had a dinner of at least 7 courses, I lost count after that. Every course was superb, maybe the almond tarty thingy sweet was a bit dry but above all, excellent.

Another difference was that the meal was served by smiling happy staff, sometimes a rarity in itself, hot in all the right places (the meal not the staff), very tasty and very well presented.
The biggest difference was that the cost for this gourmet extravaganza was only 25 euros, including welcome gin & tonics, and after dinner 12 year old whisky, fantasticly amazing value.

Strangely my own golf club, apparently struggles to make a profit from charging 25 euros for serving a very poor buffet of chicken curry (from a jar) & chips without any wine, priceless.

Well done BoaVista Golf Club, put me down for the next one.
