Shaking and moving...


I'm a Bartender since 1995. In Germany was where I start shaking, in a summer job that last six months. Big summer, ha! Then moved back to my hometown, Lisbon-Portugal. And I started working at nightclubs. Lisbon was considered the worlds nightlife capital in the 90's, was crazy. After three years, love took me to Brazil and the shaking kept going at a nightclub in Sao Paulo. In the year 2000, When the love was over after to many caipirinhas, I bought my ticket to Miami and started shaking with the salsa ritmo, hay, hay, hay... Very hot, believe me. Yes, the music and the dancing, together with the mojitos, made me shake like never before. After some nightclubs I worked in fine dining, where my high-end cocktails shined and my passion for wine began. Eight years in Miami were great and I did the South Beach Bartending School where all the Big Boys, celebrity Bartenders are instructors. And many wine seminars, courses and the most fun part, wine tastings. Was a great experience. I got some new moves and shakes and at the same time a refined taste for wine. Well, New York was the next stop. Meatpacking District and then at Financial District, were the places where I had my NY experience for almost two years. Then I found love again and a transfer to Washington D.C. was necessary.



What can I say? I'm very passionate...

The sexy wine... True story.

One night not long time ago, with a friend of mine, we went out to have some wine and we stop in a new wine bar in town.
We set at the bar and we were welcomed warmly by the bartender. He presented us with the wine list and start talking about this wine he had on promotion very enthusiastically.
An Australian Shiraz that he was trying hard to pour us. I don't know if he had any commission on the sale or not, but he was pushy.
After so many compliments to this wine we decide to try. At the same time the bartender was pouring the wine the last think he said before my friend tasted the wine was... This is a very sexy wine.
My friend as a good wine "connoisseur", started the tasting ritual and I was on hold to see his reaction to this sexy wine.
My friends words: Sexy??? Looks more like rough sex to me...
