Good morning guys. I've just written this article about my last summer trip.
Could you kindly revise my writing please?
Hello guys. here I am, in a cold and wet winter afternoon, comfortably sitting in front of my computer, I decided then to tell and share my emotions of my marvelous summer vacation in Portugal. More precisely, the visit of a historical wine cellar in Vila Nova de Gaia. It all started when my friends and I ( strongly enthusiastic about wine ) while surfing the web, looking for the classic phrase “ best things to do in Porto,” we finally found an interesting tour guide. The visit of “Casa Ramos Pinto,” that’s the name of this late 800’s vinho do Porto cellar. Since, neither of us ever tasted this product and also fascinated by the ancient history of the cellar, we got the tickets. The next day, after a nice walk in the sun through the streets of the city, we agreed to meet in the little square, next to the Dom Luis I bridge, where we had the pleasure to know our guide for the tour. Pedro, a young friendly Portuguese guy who was very knowledgeable, answering all the questions and also telling some jokes to make the tour funny and enjoyable. Well, let’s describe a bit the cellar… Founded by Adriano Ramos Pinto in 1880, Casa Ramos Pinto quickly became famous, at the time, for its innovative and enterprising strategy. It started operating on the Brazilian market in the early 20th century, exporting a huge quantity of wine to South America. Through the years, it did not fail to improve, that’s why now this brand stands for quality and reliability. Once inside the yellow building, one thing that caught my eyes were those funny posters commissioned to famous painters by the owner. Let’s say this marketing strategy at that time was extravagant but worthy. I tasted three styles of Port wine. White, Ruby and Tawny.
