A long interview

Portuguese wine writer Maria João de Almeida sat me down in my garden at the end of last month and the long interview to which the following link will direct you is the result. Topics, apart from the obvious Portuguese wines, include organic wines, the best bottle I ever tasted, red v white wines, food and wine, whether indigenous grape varieties should be blended with international ones to make them more marketable and much else.

Maria plans to add interviews with specialist wine writer Sarah Ahmed, sommelier João Pires from the Gordon Ramsay group and UK-based wine importer Cláudio Martins. She has also interviewed Portuguese chef Nuno Mendes of Viajantes restaurant in east London.
