Why dont we live in Porto

Post by Axel P »

The Yeatman Hotel regularly has very nice wine and food arrangements, such as this one:

That is an excellent price for that menu and those wines.

Personally I would prefer to live in the Douro and just travel to Porto for dinner :cool:

There is a question as to how much salted cod one wants to eat in one’s life which might affect the answer :wink:

But there is also the question of how much roast baby animals one wants to eat in one's life which will have a more positive impact on the answer for those who don't like vegetarian roast baby animals. :D

I am impressed that the Yeatman is broad-minded enough to have so many non-TFP ports.

As far as I did understand the concept they really wanted or have to present the hotel complex as if it would represent many port producers. I have been there last weekend for an intensive introduction and found this very impressive. You do not see any branding of the TFP around. The individual rooms are dedicated for individual port producers, so you have e.g. a Quinta do Crasto suite.

Therefore they are performing lots of wine events without their own brands.
