MANILA, Philippines - Portugal’s new Honorary Consul Antonio A. Rufino’s role is to raise the awareness of Portugal in the historical, cultural and commercial aspects.  He hosted a unique event to reintroduce the country’s fine wines with an art exhibit by Manuel Baldemor (who has been artist-in-residence in Portugal.)

The Port wine and popular Mateus Rose were presented with the fine red wines from the Alentejo and the Douro.  The effervescent vinho verde was paired with bacalhau and other delicacies prepared by Chef Jessie at the Rockwell Club.  

The guests of honor were DFA Sec. Albert del Rosario and the non-resident Portuguese Amb. Joaquim Moreira de Lemos and his wife Paula.
