I DO like that shot! Even if it did not show turbulence, it has great colors!

But it shows turbulence in a great way, IMO, totally subtle, love it!!!!

Well, if that's all you have ...
But try a portuguese wine one day.
From Setubal or Azeitão.

This

is very good.

Or even from Alentejo. These are generally strong and tasty.
The north has different kind of wines.

Great Job Antonio!:thumb

I got an idea - you can send us all a bottle of Portuguese wine so we can toast together!:D

Thanks for the recommendations of wine, I'll try to find them! I'm not a big fan of wine, but I love a good PORT!

Cheers Anontio! :freaky

Why not ?
I myself I do not like very much wine.
No, I have to say it another way: I only like very good wines. :):
That's better.
I'll call tomorrow to know how to send a small bottle of Setubal region wine to the US.
I'll let you know.
Regards.

António, it’s too hot here for red wine, so I will crack open a well chilled bottle of Casal Garcia and drink to your success.

Justiceiro ! Obrigado.

I prefer wines from the south, Alentejo and Setubal region.

Have you ever had the priviledge of tasting
http://www.azeitao.net/vinhos/JP/vinhos/catarina.htm

It´s the kind of wine I would offer a friend for birthday.

http://www.azeitao.net/vinhos/JP/vimages/rtcatarina1x11x1.gif

Cold but not too much ? ! ...
It's a little sucré and very refreshing.
Wonderful wine.

If you come and visit me I'll have a drink with you with this wine.
You can buy it in the US at

Yup, i think you did, but that's along time to remember phrases if you haven't used the language since then. I know I would've forgot it all. :thumb
