It is also the host country and the main theme of this year’s ninth edition of ‘La Grande Dégustation de Montréal’. Known for its exceptional wines, Portugal is all about variety: from Porto to Vinho Verde (Green Wine), from rosé to red varieties, from each region’s varieties to fine wines. They coexist in perfect harmony with the brilliant cuisine of the country, revolving around grilled meat and fish”, praises the organization of the event.
