Before my Saturday night peformance, Sr. Viriato Ferreira and his family were kind enough to take us to the Running Brook Winery which is owned by Dr. Jorge Teixeira, Sr. Viriato's brother-in-law, and his wife Manuela. The adega was filled with barrells and barrells of many different types of wines, many of which are award winning. Dr. Teixeira and his wife were proud to share their wine with us.
The acoustics in the adega were phenominal so Sr. Viriato quickly got his viola and we interpreted 2 Fados in this appropriate setting surrounded by wine! Behind the adega, there are acres and acres of a variety of grape vines and even corn. An extension on the adega is currently in progress to add a party hall to their beautiful location.
If you're ever in the area, I encourage you to stop by and check out all of their different wines. Thank you to Ferreira and Teixeira families for the great time!!
