So, DaveRL got the correct town, Duruelo de la Sierra, the town near the start of the Douro river, and Doggett got the first link correct, the Douro river (without which there would be no Douro valley, no port wine and hence no port fora).
What is the second link between Oporto and Duruelo de la Sierra?

He he, no it is not.
Due to an engagement with a surgeon tomorrow, I will be away for some time.
The answer will be posted early tomorrow morning, if no correct answer by then.
DaveRL and Doggett will then have to fight it out for who is to post a new question.

Slight delay. I was casting around for a suitable subject. I'm reading an account of a significant military battle. It is named after its location. What is the name?

Involved Navy and Marines, didn't involve British. Think this century and Pacific.

Fascinating mix of luck and strategy. Must have been terrifying. No wonder those involved in such conflicts are least likely to talk about them.

Yes and that's without the wildlife to contend with eg saltwater crocs!
Anyhow, my question. I don't go to many concerts these days but who am I due to see in June for the first time since 1985?

My bucketlist ports have been listed following Alex's post, but what is top of my bucketlist in terms of red wine?
Re: One quiz at a time

Ch. Latour 1945 of course.

I would love to try a first growth '45... But that is not top of the bucket.

It wasn't... But the next time the list is done, that will obviously be a serious contender for the top spot.
It is quite a unique style/winery/brand, and the wine maker has famously discussed this particular vintage.
