Drink Wine To Help Other People’s Hearts: Wines of Portugal’s 5th Annual Grand Tasting @ City Winery
Research shows that drinking wine is good for your heart. But you probably didn’t know that drinking wine could be good for other people’s hearts, too. On Tuesday April 21st from 6-8:30pm, Wines of Portugal will be hosting their 5th Annual Wine Tasting in New York City at City Winery, featuring 40 wineries and 300 wines from all of Portugal’s main wine regions. 100% OF ALL PROCEEDS FROM TICKET SALES will be donated to WOMENHEART, benefiting the research, education, and promotion of women’s heart health. Sample Portugal’s remarkable range, from Vinho Verde’s refreshing whites to the Duoro’s passionate reds, to Alentejo’s new classics and beyond. Tickets are only $40 and can be purchased in advance by clicking here. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the new City Winery space, this would be a great opportunity. City Winery is Manhattan’s first winery in 40 years. But it’s much more than just a winery. The space also houses a world-class wine bar, live music venue, VIP lounge, cellar dining room, and private event areas. Jill and I have had a chance to taste several Portuguese wines over the past few months and have been loving what we’ve tried at all price points. This is one burgeoning wine region you will certainly be hearing alot more from over the next few years.
