I am so glad my blog made you aware....(beyond all of the valuable information on the EWBC's website),... that Lisbon, Aldea and the conference are all inter-linked to help us become better at what we do...the world is your classroom....our job is to educate and communicate what we see, taste and feel into words that the reader can grasp...or become curious about.....the hunger for knowledge is in all of us...and presently, for me, it is focused on Portugal.

Carrie,
Forgot to comment on Incognito...it was in a class of it's own at the tasting...and yes,it is not a budget wine by anybody's standards.

David and the Blogger World!
It is so nice to hear words of praise about Portugal. I was at the Cello Bar Opening last night in New York (229 East 53rd) sipping a Portuguese Alvarino (one of only two dozen wines this wine bar serves) and thinking about the upcoming European Wine Bloggers Conference in October.
Like cheese, which always tastes better in Europe, I was wondering if Alvarino tastes better in Portugal? There is only one way to find out>>>go there and and drink a nice, chilled glass of Alvarino during the conference....
Speaking of the conference and George Mendes and Aldea and (sweaty that evening) Ryan and beautiful Gabriella, here is my blog with EuropEON spelled incorrectly to get your attention...

Ryan and Gabriella,
It was nice to meet you...Looks like everyone is getting excited about Portugal....and the wines that have unusual grapes....and the cuisine,thanks to Chef Mendes....
FYI...I went back to the restaurant and tried the food in a different setting and was blown away...Often I go to Newark for Portuguese food,but,none of those restaurants have mysterious twists on dishes like George does...The wine slection was great and affordable...

I attended a GREAT pre-Wine Bloggers Conference ( Lisbon..October 30th, 31st..isn't that HALLOWEEN? and November 1st) at ALDEA (NYC), George Mendes futuristic restaurant wirh food inspirations from the past.
The event was worthwhile, as I met so many bloggers who were keenly focused on the 4 star appetizers and the variety of top level budget wines. Hosted by Vini Portugal and PR by wine knowledgable Aileen Robbins of Robbins/Dunn.
I now plan on attending the Conference ( maybe my story will win??) because Ryan and Gabriella made me realize that their dream was heartfelt, brilliant and necessary for bloggers to unite in open forums.
Count me in!!!

Gabriella has opened our eyes into the world we live in-"Bloggers Paradise"!
To meet fellow bloggers and discuss the joy and freedom and emotion attached to each posting makes me want to grow wings and fly to Portugal.
Stranger things have happened!!
