Wine & Spirits - August 2017 - 35
O GAVETO
As a gentle breeze carries mouthwatering aromas of salt and sardines grilling over hot coals,
a pescador (fisherman) sits on a wooden box mending and patching green mesh to the sound
of the sea. A long line of assadores (grill masters)-often the restaurant owners-stand terraceside gripping worn tongs to flip giant prawns, fresh squid and sweet sea bass. Welcome to the
seaside town of Matosinhos, where hungry Portuguese have come for their fish fill for decades,
more frequently than not to O Gaveto. Manuel Pinheiro's family has run this shrine to local
seafood for more than 30 years and thanks to the professionalism of their wine service-they
have a range of wine glasses and decanters on hand-they've made it a second home to top
winemakers from across the region. Choose your catch from the numerous tanks swimming
with lobster, crab or lamprey, or revel in the mounds of locally caught gooseneck barnacles,
mussels and sweet orange shrimp. Be sure to order the sapateira recheada, stone crab stuffed
with a creamy purée of cornbread, pickled cauliflower, onions, egg, beer and Port wine. To
drink, order one of the many sparklers on the wine list, such as the Soalheiro Rosé Espumante,
or a rich white from the Dão like Druida, or ask co-owner João Silva for an off-the-beaten-path
recommendation. If you have time, hike up the street to Garage Wines, a retail shop where you
can schedule a VIP tasting with Ivone Ribeiro.

PROVA
In the heart of Porto's historical center-a maze of medieval alleys, cobbled streets and baroque monuments-Prova has become a magnet for
wine lovers. And Diogo Amado has become a player in the revival of Porto's vibrant city center since he opened this chic narrow bar, the only wine
bar in the area when he arrived in 2014. Put yourself in Amado's hands to
taste what he's procured in the last week, as he's the only one who knows
where he's stashed it. He may pull out the 1969 Colares Viúva Gomes Red,
wildly earthy yet still bright in its cherry fruit (and remarkably affordable),
or the lemony, mineral Vale de Capucha Arinto. Both pair beautifully with
Prova's cheese and charcuterie platter, as well as with the popular empada
de frango, a chicken pie. Often there's live music and, late in the evening,
impromptu tastings with local winemakers. Prova is renowned for its informality and friendly atmosphere, so don't hesitate to join the wine geek
festivities.
