Client comments
- This session was very enjoyable and informative. Thank you, Marta! In addition to learning about Portuguese wine history, the visual tour of the various wine regions and varietals was terrific. A highlight of the session was the participants' 'show and tell' of wines they had found and Marta's additional comments and perspective. It approached an in-person wine tasting experience with a knowledgeable guide.
- Thank you, Maja, for the wonderful introduction to Fado and for a very intimate evening of music! I was unfamiliar with the music tradition and in one evening, am a convert! In addition to the treat of your extraordinary voice, I appreciated how you wove anecdotes and photos of its rich female history into the evening.
- Never heard this type of music before. I listened to it on You Tube before we heard Maja. I felt transported to Portugal while listening to her.
