Durante estes dias vamos estar a viajar pela Bélgica. A razão desta viagem reside num convite feito por um cliente nosso que vai realizar provas de vinhos com os seus clientes. Uma vez por ano, Roger & Luc De Smedt, o nosso distribuidor que opera desde Bruxelas, convida os seus clientes para provar os vinhos que representa.
Estaremos aqui durante os próximos 4 dias, de sábado 8 de Novembro a terça-feira 11 de Novembro. Hoje a prova decorreu no restaurante Home & Passion, um representante da cozinha tradicional francesa, onde o Chefe Pino, siciliano, lidera a elaboração dos pratos. Hoje estávamos 4 produtores, Alain Vigier de Bordéus, França; Daniel-Etienne Defaix de Chablis, França; Kaapzicht de Stellenbosch, África do Sul e nós, Quevedo do Douro, Portugal.
Por volta das dezanove horas jantámos no Home & Passion e em seguida dirigimo-nos para uma loja de decoração, para continuarmos a mostrar e dar a provar os nossos vinhos às pessoas que por ali passavam e aproveitavam para comprar os enfeites de Natal.
E como não há Natal sem Vinho do Porto, era a altura certa para provar e escolher o Porto Quevedo que mais se gostasse para fazer companhia na noite de Natal. E porquê a prova de vinhos numa loja de decoração? Bem, uma garrafa pode ser sempre vista como um elemento de decoração enquanto envelhece. Ou simplesmente porque o Luc e o dono da loja são amigos!
Tem sido uma experiência enriquecedora e espero poder dar mais notícias nos próximos dias.
