Portugal, Old and New, with Lewis Kopman, 8/20/2026

$40.00

This is a fascinating event! Discover Portugal like you have never seen it before!
Between modernity and past traditions, Portuguese wine has so much diversity to offer.

Join us on Thursday, August 20, at 6pm on the mezzanine to celebrate a new generation of audacious winemakers who are breaking the rules and reinventing traditions with Lewis Kopman.

Enjoy fresh and saline coastal whites, symbols of Lisbon’s young independent scene, but also the purity of high-altitude whites grown on granite soils, born from a minimalist philosophy. Extend the experience with the original world of orange wines from the Douro, whose wild maceration breaks the usual rules of this iconic region.

Then, return to ancient methods and taste a co-fermentation of white and red grapes aged in clay amphoras just like in Roman times, red wines from centenarian vines made the old-fashioned way, and appreciate the exceptional potential of the country thanks to a great aged red wine matured for over 15 years.
