Exploring the Azulejos: A Journey Through Pinhão Train Station's Blue Tiles

A tour of Graham's Port Lodge.  A tour guide explains the aging process and different types of port wines at Graham's cellar.  The guide mentions that the cellar has seven million liters of port aging, with the oldest wine dating back to 1882. He also discusses the different styles of port, such as Ruby and Tawny, and how they are aged differently to achieve specific flavors and characteristics.  The guide explains the process of bottling vintage ports and the significance of certain years, such as the first vintage port made by the Symington family in 1970.  The guide also mentions the different soils and methods used in the cellar to maintain the quality of the wines.

SEVEN MILLION Liters of Port Wine | Barrels from 1882 | A Tour of Graham's Port Lodge

A conversation between David Guimaraens and Austin Beeman about Fonseca Bin 27, a young and fruity port wine.  Guimaraens describes the wine as full-bodied and rich, with a concentration of black currant fruit. He explains that the grapes used to make the port come from the Douro Valley, which has a hot mountain climate that contributes to the intensity of the fruit. The wine has plenty of tannins, making it a good pairing with chocolate desserts.  Beeman comments on the aroma of cherries and raspberries, and Guimaraens attributes this to the grape varieties used in port production. They both agree that the wine is pure, bright, and joyful in its fruitiness. Guimaraens describes Fonseca as a house known for its bubbly, rich, and intense wines, and Bin 27 is no exception.  They discuss how the winemaking process is crucial in preserving the fruitiness of the wine while extracting color and structure.  Overall, they find the wine to be enjoyable and fun.
