Port is an elixir that is meant to shut down the day, take a break from the rat race, and indulge oneself in a sensory delight. The traditional port is from the Douro region of Portugal and the story of the region and wine is part of wine history. The oldest port house in Portugal is Kopke (pronounced Kop-keh). We were delighted to have Carla Tiago, the lead winemaker of Kopke, on Wine Talks Podcast. 

You will hear about the making of Port, the governmental oversight of Port, the terroir of the Douro, and more.

She is articulate and interesting; have a listen.
