Release Notes 2023 (Portugal)
Joe Cieplinski and I co-organized Release Notes 2023 held April 14-16, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. This was the first event we organized since the onset of the global Covid pandemic. After the conference finished, Heather and I traveled to Lagos, Portugal and explored the Algarve for several days.
Second food tour stop: Bacalhau (croquettes of salted cod) with “tomato rice” and vinho verde. #ReleaseNotes2023 #wine #lisbon

Yesterday, Heather and I made a day trip to the Alentejo region of Portugal. First stop: Herdade do Rocim winery in Cuba to learn about amphora wines. The wines were nice, but we both agreed that the wines weren’t as aromatic as we are used to. #wine (Vila de Frades, Beja, Portugal)
