We’d like to thank our hosts for the evening for providing the wonderful food to accompany these wines.  We enjoyed Portuguese kale and sausage soup, chorizo sausage, Sao Jorge cheese, Manchego cheese, Portuguese white anchovies, and a selection of Portuguese breads.  Thank you, Kevin, Ellen, Terry and Santina for volunteering!
