The Confraria do Vinho Palmas has been quiet for a while.
To get people out of their habitat to a wine meeting has appeared to be a hard job in Palmas.
A balance must be found among the level of entertainment, the group emotions and the ambitions to learn about the subject.
Recent attempts by Casa Valduga to unite Palmas restaurant keepers at a wine tasting -including a presentation by a Casa Valduga wine expert- failed embarrassingly, because of the absence of participants, despite confirmation to attend.
But Marcâo, member of the confraria and distributor of Casa Valduga wines in Tocantins, is not giving in.
A this moment his tactics are as follows:
Marcâo organizes a meeting once per month at his office alias wine house, which is ideally suited for wine tastings. Invited are mainly the members of Cigar Club Palmas, who know one another for a decade. They will be served a dinner and various wines, for a costprice. Conclusion so far:
Replacing the wine tasting forms by a plate of risotto seems to have done the job: at least ten people have attended the last meetings.
