For those of you who are longtime readers, you know full well that I never miss the annual Tre Bicchieri wine tasting event at the Puck Building - an orgasm of an event, packed to the rafters with wine aficionados, wine that deserves their admiration - and a veritable smorgesbord of drool-worthy men, sporting Armani suits, devastating smiles and Italian accents.
So, how could I pass up the chance to attend a similar event at the Puck last week - a Slow Food benefit called ViniPortugal?
Did it live up to the glories of its Italian cousin, the Tre Bic?
Heck no.
No eye candy of the male variety and not much by way of wine to my liking either.
A light, fizzy glass of Espumante Quinta do Ferro from Portugal's Vinhos Verdes region was one of the few wines to lift my spirits.
Oh, well. Only five months till the Tre Bicchieri returns to New York...
I love your all-new bitter journalistic criticism. I sort of expect it to end, "In case you weren't aware, I was being SARCASTIC!"
