Readers, it’s another river, but not the Rhine. As you can see on the left, vines grow here on terraced slopes, the banks are dotted with little towns, and the weather is beautiful. It took me three flights to get here; the first was two hours, the second between six and seven hours, and the last less than one hour, followed by a car ride of an hour and a half. A long day of travel, or night and day, or whatever, because my time-frame is all mixed up. The question is “Where Is F.K.?”

The Duoro?

Close, but I think it’s the Douro! (or somewhere else in Portugal).

I know nothing. But the timeframes are right for the Douro. Or the Duero…

ok, well, you guys are too smart for me to fool. The Douro Valley it is. I’m here with a small group of writers for the official launch of the 2007 ports as well as vertical tastings from some individual houses. I should be blogging about these tastings every day, or at least trying to; we’re doing quite a bit of moving around, by car, boat and train.

You are certainly getting around more these days. Bravo for you!
