Portovino Imports with Mark Middlebrook

Join us Saturday between 2 and 5pm for a special tasting with Mark Middlebrook,  co-owner of Portovino Imports.Imagine a big old farm table, where lots of wines from various corners of Italy are spread out. All around that table are wine lovers: an Alpine grower rescuing an obscure Nebbiolo clone among centuries-old vines… a young sommelier on his or her first trip to Italy… a couple opening a wine that marks a place and time for them and speaks of a territorio, vintage, and grower.  You’re getting the idea about Portovino.The Portovino Philosophy: ” We look for local wines from growers with a light step in the vineyard and a light touch in the cantina. We spend time with producers in the vineyard and cantina (sometimes monthly) so we can understand accurately what’s going on and communicate that transparency to you.
