So, it is with great gratitude that I mention Delfim Costa of Enoforum Wines for sending Martin Page’s book to me, which has allowed me to expand my world view a bit more. Beyond that reason, I had a completely empty slate. Once in the wine business, I found myself researching Port for the obvious reasons. Once I realized that Lisbon was the capital of Portugal, it had a very quiet, subliminal influence on my life, but nothing that drove to me to get to the depths of the small western European country.) Southeast of that city is Lisbon and then Lisbon Falls – a place where the Androscoggin River rages during the spring, and a rock formation caused a natural waterfall. This is what The First Global Village by Martin Page became for me.īefore it arrived, my understanding of Portugal was extremely minimal having never been there, nor ever having studied Portugal’s past or present, in my life time. When a book arrives on one’s doorstep as a gift, it has not only come from the sender, but it’s also arrived from the universe as a token of change and an opportunity for expansive knowledge.
