Night Photo of VdG.

Post by Andrew Kirschner »

I’m in the middle of creating a coffee table book about Port wine. About half of the initial photography is finished. I thought I would share this nighttime photo of Gaia. I had this blown up to a 5 foot print at home. There’s a lot of detail. Most of the port houses on that side of the river are represented in the photo. Just thought it would be fun to share.

Here is one that not a lot of people see- the ceiling in the main stairwell at the IVDP. I love the grape motif.

Here’s one last one- need to save the rest for the book. Here is the setup for one of the tastings in the tasting chamber. No Port gets its SG without coming through this room.
