We
heard about this festival recently and knowing our wine club members well, this
seemed the perfect way to spend some of Saturday tasting port and wines made by
the port producers showcasing their wines on Muratie. We arrived at Muratie and
started tasting at the tables, which were dotted throughout the farm buildings
