Embarrassed when you have to read and order from a wine list? Want to know more about wine and how to enjoy it?

Houston Wine Geeks is an informal group of wine enthusiasts focused on the ins-and-outs of wine appreciation and wine education.

This meeting is after the big International Sommeliers Guild test on Monday May 12. Hopefully, we’ll be celebrating! Come prepared to live and talk wine!

John is moving forward to take the Certified Specialist of Wine Exam (CSW) in New Orleans on May 31, so he’s not done trying to learn everything about wine. This meeting will be all about Portuguese wine including Port.

  Interested? Sign up and RSVP for our next meeting. Come every week or come when you can!

FYI: We use www.meetup.com as our RSVP/Membership tracking tool. It’s free for you!

    If you’re looking for a swanky wine bar that’ll impress a date, Oporto is your place. The tapas here aren’t snacks; they’re huge. There’s nothing better to nibble on while quaffing a glass of wine than the “Oportobello.” It’s a marinated portobello mushroom topped with spinach and artichoke gratin and finished with white truffle oil. If you’re still hungry after that Texas-size “tapa,” go for the linguiça oporto com batatas, a Portuguese-style sausage sautéed with onion, roasted peppers, potatoes, garlic, port wine and piri-piri oil. Great wines and delicious tapas will surely impress your date, … Saúde
