Visiting the Douro This Month?

Post by A Good Nose »

Hello everyone,

I am off to the Douro for three weeks of intensive photography and Quinta appointments during this year's vindima - all for A Good Nose.Com :D

I depart Sunday 14th Sept, so this is very short notice, but do please let me know if any of you chaps are going to be around :D It would be marvellous to try and hook up if you are in my vicinity, or vice versa.

I plan to be visiting thirty or forty Quintas from Ervamoira down to Régua ...so the chances are that I might see you. I seem to recall you will be in the Douro Derek so do please let me know :lol:

Best, David Eley

Here is a friend of mine from Noval:
Hello Derek see you soon!

David,

I will be in Pinhao the nights of the 20th-23rd, and then will be in Porto the nights of the 24th-28th. I'd love to meet you if we're in the same area at the same time!

As he's standing up he obviously hasn't had his bottle of Nacional yet :wink:

Hi Derek and Glenn: glad to see I fooled you Derek, Mr Porco is in fact stuffed :lol:

Glenn: do send your cell phone number to deley at agoodnose dot com and will try to locate you... I should not be too far away from Pinhão.

From what little I know, you have not been in Port rehab for a long enough period.

Derek now tells me you consider Amy Winehouse's legs are almost as nice as Paris Hilton's... :roll:

Noval runs a similar operation to the one featured in the movie 'Cocoon' - all of their Porcos are cloned and you can never spot the difference :lol:

Hello

My wife and me are going to Porto the 22 th. of Sept. Will be in Pinhao the 24th. to the 26th. of Sept. Joining the harvest festival at Quinta do Portal
Then back to Porto, and going home the 29th.
Any time not spend drinking port, is a waste of time.

ac-fast,

Uncle Tom, Frederick Blais and I all fly home on the day you arrive :crying:

What time do you expect to arrive in Porto? Are you planning to visit any lodges in VNG before heading up to the Douro?

... missed you by a couple of days. Been there from Sep 5th to 8th. Had a great time: Visits in VNG Cockburns, Messias, Krohn, Visits of Vargellas and the Vindouro in Sao Joao da Pesqueira, Overnight in Vesuvio and another visit of the fabulous site of Romaneira.

Maybe next year.

Have fun there
