The event also features a Master Class headed by Peter Bright (oenologist) to 50 professionals. Wines of Portugal Grand Annual Tasting in Stockholm will happen in 18th March. This will be an huge event where trade, press and wine club members will taste wines of Portugal (as in Helsinki) and will attend a showcooking where sommelier Totte Steneby (Champion Sommelier winner) will select four Portuguese wines to pair with four typical Swedish dishes cooked by chef Stefan Eriksson (considered Chef of the Year in 2005).
