Whole Lotta Love! Rock Drummer and CMS Certified Sommelier, Bruno Almeida Shares his Passion for Portuguese Wines.

MJ’s guest this week is Bruno Almeida. Born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal, this rock drummer turned sommelier has worked at legendary NYC restaurants such as Gusto Ristorante, Pao, Inoteca, Corsino, Balaboosta, Locanda Verde and Dirty French. Until the pandemic, he was the Wine Director and Sommelier at iconic Tocqueville. MJ and Bruno discuss the history of colonization and its effect on Portuguese wine over the centuries. He brings in two delicious Portuguese bottles that blow MJ away. And before the show is over they get deep into another of Bruno’s favorites = Georgian wine.
