11:00am – 12:00pm Pairing Madeira Wine with Food

From dry to sweet, Madeira is a wine with intense freshness as a result of its typical acidity. It has a bouquet consisting of a set of aromas that develop during the aging process, resulting in complex, rich, intense, and unforgettable wines. Madeira can be paired with many types of foods, you just have to dare yourself! Lead by Sommelier and Portuguese brand ambassador Bruno Almeida, taste six styles of Madeira paired with different bites and discover the exciting versatility of Madeira.

1:00pm – 2:00pm Colheitas and Frasqueiras

Colheitas and Frasqueiras are premium expressions of Madeira. Both are produced from grapes of a single harvest, but do you know the between the two styles? Sommelier and Portuguese brand ambassador Bruno Almeida will lead this exclusive seminar that will focus on these two styles of Madeira as we taste six special Madeira wines ranging from 1978 to 2009.

3:00pm – 4:00pm Madeira and Cocktails

While often served as an aperitif or a dessert, Madeira wines are a perfect modifying ingredient in cocktails. Join award-winning mixologist Lynnette Marrero who will demonstrate how Madeira’s well-rounded flavor profile, and balanced level of sweetness and acidity, can enhance a range of cocktails.
