The most chill dog in Portugal.

A very productive week, the corn is looking good. Dinner looked delicious. The House walls look amazing! Your dog is such a character, he is also waiting for the irrigation tank lol.

I love how your dog gives you stink eye when he doesn't want to move haha The walls are looking fabulous :) Great progress

You could make some lovely stuffed vine leaves , I love it🍇🍇

I have looked at a lot of videos of villages, farms and country towns in Portugal and they all looked rundown, nearly deserted, but Cerveira looks quite prosperous, neat, clean and tidy - the residents must love it.

Você é tão respeitoso com seus antepassados que suas memórias surgem naturalmente de tanta felicidade, gosto muito do seu trabalho

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Obrigado.
Eles me influenciaram.

Há uma caixa tipo funil em que se mete a massa pronta para preencher espaços entre as pedras, tem parafuso sem fim tipo Arquimedes que injeta a massa por acção de berbequim normal, pesquisa na net porque aqui não se vê à venda ! Economia de tempo enorme.

I am a believer that if your soil is good and well fed, your plants are more resistant to disease. One hopes with time that will be able

[@justoneacre7873]

Wow, that is a beautiful town. Is that where you live? If it is no wonder you left Canada!

[@dmg1029]

Looking good. Looks like we are sort of neighbors. We live in Cheria which is close to Mentrestido and just south of vila nova de Cerveira.
Anyway, we enjoy your videos and the work you are doing. We are new to wine making and hope you share your experiences.
Enjoy! David, Julie and our dog scarlet.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thank you. I'll be making wine just like my grandpa did, with grapes and good will.
Cheers

Your grandparents would be so proud of you Joaquim, but I am sure they were then and are now as they watch from above. What a great job you have done this far! That market was the Valença one right? Is it every Saturday or every 2 weeks?
I, like you lived in No. America for decades, but I am now back in PT for good, and living 1 hr outside of Lisbon, but I often go to Cerveira just for the weekend to catch the markets and to reconnect with my roots. They so matter to me, I ❤❤❤ Minho and sooo miss my childhood memories there with family on both sides, many that have since departed, as my paternal side is all FM Ponte de Barca. Miss the good old days. Blessings going your way, and keep up the great work.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thank you.
This one was actually in Cerveira, on Saturday.
The market in Cerveira has become one of the busiest in the Minho valley. It doesn't hurt that one of the prettiest towns hosts it.
Cheers

[@Alfablue227]

@@Joaquim_Conde I thought it was !! Cerveira is indeed a huge market; you can find anything, especially Spaniards.A good thing I get there early for parking.
V.N de Cerveira, Caminha, Vila Praia d'Ancora ...all along the coast is so beautiful... but then again, all of Minho is.

[@ATold]

Compliments to you and all your workers. The stone-walls are looking great. May I ask you, in which village the market in this video is. Thanks and happy to see more of your work.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thank you.
Every town has a weekly open air market, this one is just 15 minutes down river from my hometown, in Vila Nova de Cerveira

[@antoniopires2872]

Grande trabalho Joaquim, parabéns!
Será que não é possível enxertar essas cepas de Americano com outras variedades, de mesa por exemplo, moscatel? Sei que há uma variedade em Murça de branco, que é tipo moscatel e julgo que resultaria nessas cepas antigas!
Enfim, só mesmo para dar um feedback do seu trabalho, está no bom caminho!
Grande abraço!

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Obrigado.
Sim, sem duvida a cepa do Americano funciona em beleza como porta enxertos. Por aqui talvez a Loureiro, a Trajadura.

[@daisy7797]

Génial 👍👌👋

Hi Joaquim, I’ve heard that copper rods help with mildew
