Quinta de Chocapalha is een echt familiebedrijf die sinds de jaren 80 in handen is van Alice en haar man Paulo Tavares da Silva. De investeerde vanaf het begin direct in de wijngaarden en het wijnhuis. En dat was geen verkeerde aanpak. De zijn namelijk uitgegroeid tot een succesvol wijnhuis met een breed assortiment aan kwaliteitswijnen.Het succes van wijnhuis Quinta de Chocapalha
De 45 hectare wijngaarden vinden net boven Lissabon en vallen onder de DO Vinho Regional Lisboa. De wijngaarden waren al in de 16e eeuw bekend en stonden toen al bekend als uitstekende wijngaarden. In 2000 bereikten de meest recente aanplant van wijngaarden de rijpheid en was de kwaliteit van het fruit sterk verbeterd. Op dat moment werd het grootste deel van de productie doorverkocht aan grotere coöperaties. Maar met de komst van hun docht Sandra die snel haar reputatie vestigde als een buitengewoon getalenteerde wijnmaker, koos de familie ervoor om hun wijnhuis verder op te knappen en hun eigen wijnen te gaan produceren.14 maanden houtlagering voor Quinta de Chocapalha Castelao
De wijngaarden zijn beplant met internationale rassen zoals Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Chardonnay en Sauvignon Blanc maar ook typisch Portugese rassen zoals de Arinto, Verdelho, Tinta Roriz, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca en Castelão. En die laatste druif speelt toevallig een hoofdrol in deze rode wijn. Deze wijn is afkomstig van wijnstokken van 29 jaar oud, geplant in klei-kalksteen bodems en met zuid-noord blootstelling. De oogst gebeurde handmatig, in dozen van 20 kilo. De druiven worden in de wijnmakerij ontsteeld en ondergaan een prefermentatie bij lage temperaturen voor de duur van 12 uur. De alcoholische gisting vindt plaats in roestvrijstalen vaten, met een temperatuurregeling van niet meer dan 26 graden, gedurende 10 dagen. De wijn heeft gedurende 14 maanden 50 procent gerijpt in Franse eikenhouten vaten van tweede en derde gebruik. Quinta de Chocapalha Castelão heeft een stralende paarse kleur met een verleidelijke neus van verse frambozen, rijpe kersen en subtiele nuances van cacao. De zijdezachte tannines en het soepele lichaam zorgen voor een geweldige balans en elegantie in de mond. Uitstekend bij alle soorten vleesgerechten, vooral bij gegrild vlees.Shipping Notes

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre.
I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them.
I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so
spoiler alert!!!!!!!
Tropes include:
Only one bed at the inn/bar
Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears
Lost royalty
The chosen one
Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk
Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples
Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked
Gathering intel at the inn/bar
FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well
There’s probably more but no need to list them all.
Good story and I would recommend!

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series.
Favorite quotes:
"The truth may be twisted but never false."
"Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?"
"In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character.
*****SPOILERS*****
Pros:
The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits.
Cons:
Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks.
The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back.
*****
As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short.
Hence, 3 stars.
