This episode wasn’t planned. Sometimes, the best things happen without much planning. A spontaneous and inspired action can often lead to a much more memorable encounter or experience.
I was visiting Tiago Alves De Sousa, one of the Douro’s most influential winemakers and a good friend, in his winery and vineyards high up on the slopes above the river Corgo, northern Portugal, a couple of weeks before harvest 2023. With me were my partner, Jeanette, and our friends Sam and Miles. I felt inspired to record Tiago’s words and did so on my mobile phone. It was almost a group discussion and you can hear multiple people asking questions. Apologies for the quality of the recording as well as various interfering sounds ( trumpets and drums from a nearby marching band, numerous scooters and loud explosions from fireworks… in bright sunshine !!).
