Hello, wine friends! Welcome back to part two with the incredible wine presenter, Tom Surgey. If you caught part one, you already know why he’s a master at talking about wine. In our previous episode, we delved into the Bairrada wine region, but today, we're shifting our focus just east to the Dão region.
Dão, with its higher altitudes and elevations, produces wines that are elegant, perfumed, and full of finesse—perfect for gastronomy. We’ll explore how beautifully Touriga Nacional and the white grape variety Encruzado thrive in this region.
Get ready to dive deeper into the Dão wine region and join us as Tom walks us through his new wine book, “How to Drink Wine” (due out 29th August). We’ll focus on the food pairing section, where Tom will share his insights on pairing Dão wines with various dishes.

However, Tom’s book isn’t just about pairings or wine history. It also covers practical topics like restaurant markups, wine shop pricing, and tips for buying the right wine. One intriguing topic we’ll cover is light strike - a wine fault that can significantly affect flavor. We’ll discuss what it is, how it happens, and how to avoid it.
