When I talked to you and you said you were moving to Amarante, I googled it and thought, "why is he moving to the middle of nowhere???" But it makes a lot more sense now that you describe it. It just seemed so remote at first. That's amazing that they have the business incubator to help you get on your feet, bravo! Now are you ready for a cosmic twist? Last week I bought some Rose from Portugal on a lark from Trader Joes. I didn't read the label, it was just reasonably priced and looked good. Well, today I got the email for this posting, then we opened it later in the afternoon. And guess where it's from! https://photos.app.goo.gl/EEpr2uoqNCcD75QT9 (it is good btw)
You're not the only one that imagined it as a much more remote place than it really is.
That's some coincidence with the wine! :D I miss Trader Joe's.
That's the 5-star hotel... I didn't see their wine here... but there's so many 'brands' to choose from. I wonder how much you paid for the bottle. Vinho Verde (essentially a very young wine) is quite cheap here; mid-range will cost between €2-€3. Makes consumption easy ;)
Actually I learned something interesting from that bottle of wine ... Vinho Verde isn't a type of wine. It's a DOC! I always thought it just meant "young wine" too, like beaujolais nouveau.
Inspiring account Saar, I can only dream.
