IVDP Port tasting in Los Angeles (Marina Del Rey) October 16

[Andy Velebil]

The IVDP will again be hosting a wonderful Portuguese wine and Port tasting at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Marina del Rey on October 16th. It starts at 6:30pm till 8:30pm. I went last year and it was a great time, and I'll be back again for this one. So if you go, hunt me down and say hi...I'll be the one in the FTLOP polo shirt.

It's worth stopping by to tastes some wonderful wines. Here is the list of producers (FYI, some are listed by the parent company's name, such as Sogevinus, and not under a specific Port brand).

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PORTUGUESE WINE TASTINGS YOU COULD ATTEND HERE IN CALIFORNIA. Hope that got your attention.
