[Leica] [OM] PSTCRD: Mateus

[Philippe Amard]

Thanks Bob,

as I was teling a friend on another list, this Vila Mateus was the original
owner (aristocrat landowners) of the name/brand.
But the wine we find on the shelves is usually not their produce as it is
now used as a generic name for all wines in the area. Alice also had fond
memories of the name (and wine) and asked. That's how we know. We
nevertheless bought them a couple of their own wine, which we haven't
tasted yet as it later travelled for 3500 km  in the boot of the camper ...
I'll let you know when we open the first bottles :-)

Thanks again

Amities
Philippe
