Service: Wine recommendations during a meal
Finding the perfect wine can truly enhance a meal, and that's exactly what happened during my dining experience. The wine selection matched my requests and even introduced me to delightful new options. Everything was perfectly coordinated, from the presentation to the temperature, making the meal unforgettable.

Initial Review
Service: Customized wine selection and recommendations with flexible subscription options
I think they are awesome, like a wine of the month club with really personalized service, and they are always open to swap wines out and tailor the box to me. I do not drink a lot of white wine, and they will put six reds in a box instead of four reds and two whites, plus the recommendations are typically really good stuff you would not get in supermarkets and it exposes me to some interesting corners of Portugal. When the box comes there is a newsletter on their website with what is in the box and tasting notes, it is archived so months later I can look up a bottle and see the notes and even a pairing like duck. They deliver it themselves and WhatsApp me that it is coming, there are three different tiers so I can set my price level and it feels like good value - you expect to pay a premium for the service they deliver but I barely notice it.

Initial Review
Service: Provided a comprehensive wine tasting workshop with food pairings
I’ve been in the wine world for about 30 years and have been to hundreds of tastings, and Petra’s workshops stood out. I attended three - an overview of Portuguese wine, then deep dives into Dão and Alentejo - and she came prepared with excellent wines and info sheets, answered every question, and even handled my mischievous comments with grace. The pairings at a vegetarian restaurant were spot on, the sessions ran about 2.5 hours without feeling rushed, and we even had time to review and retaste; I bought most of the wines from the first two tastings because they were so good. Not inexpensive but certainly worth the money, easily the best I’ve had in Portugal and among the best anywhere.
