Yesterday Sonia was one of those moments in my life that I will never forget! David Klaus pictured here above in these three pictures came in and was already busy collecting and placing bottles at the register when I asked if he needed any help? He asked me if we had any Rio/Sol red? I was a bit startled and said that we did not but that we had , in fact some of the SALON Vinetyard's Tannat that was equally good and more versatile with many foods and also better for his health with so much Resveratrol in it that is good for all of us. he smiled, I showed him the two six-packs sitting on the floor and he said he would take on of them. We got to talking, we looked at our Brazilian Cachaça São Paulo, , LEBLON Cachaça, Soul , #51, Touchana Cachacha, and the others, he took some of all it seems, also we spoke of beer and he took cases of the two there on the counter, my favorite still being the Xingu Dark beer, and we talked SALTON, we talked Rio and we talked Serra Gaucha and Brazilian wine,Chima Tysons Corner, food , wine , vinhos finos Washington Brasileiro.... BrasileirosVinhosFinosCachacaCervejaudosodos .... we talked everything Brasil and David bought only Brasil and has just LIKED this Bralvin page, wow, I am so happy, so very happy, I have a new customer and a new friend to help promote ' everything Brasil ' with now ... yes! si! claro! bueno! ... cheers e bom dia Domingo tudos ... for more comments about Brasil look to : Madame do Vinho, @soniadenicol @adriWiest‪#‎winesOfBrasil‬ ... cheers, TONY 2/1/2015 @anthonyquinn ‪#‎cpwinespirits‬‪#‎saltonHarmoniza‬ ‪#‎DomCandido‬ @FernandaZattera‪#‎BoscatoVinhosFinosBrasileiros‬ ... and so many more as well .... go to :‪#‎Miolo‬ ‪#‎valeosvinhedos‬ ‪#‎serragaucha‬ ‪#‎bentoGancalves‬ ‪#‎CaxiasDoSul‬‪#‎NovaPaduaSerraGaucha‬ @MorganaMiolo ‪#‎CordilheiraDeSantaAna‬‪#‎RioSolVinhosFinosBrasileiros‬ ‪#‎CasaValduga‬ ‪#‎DonGuerino‬‪#‎FerdinandoZatteraVinhosFinosBrasileiros‬ ... ‪#‎Bordo‬ ‪#‎MoscatoGiala‬ .... and so many more places to discover the wealth and the bounty and the warmth and the vibrancy and culture, art and music, food and dance that is the real Brasil .... thanks David for stopping by yesterday, what a great serndipitous experience that was!

  • Bralvin By the way Krista, Malkit was the one that rushed up to us when he saw us looking at Brazilian LEBLON Cachaça cachacas and he immediately reached for the LEBLON and declared to David that it was the best from Brazil. Obregado Malkit!

Madame do Vinho Wow Tony, what a great time you had there!!! I am also startled to know that somebody so far was looking for such a particular Brazilian wine as Rio Sol!!!
I am completely delighted to see your dedication and enthusiasm working for brazilian wines, cachaças and culture! I feel proud and grateful for your efforts and I am sure all brazilian producers are either. 
This is also motivating because not often we see here in Brazil the same enthusiasm for Brazilian wine as you have there.
Congratulations my friend!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I wish you success!!!
