Some great Port Wine treasures kept secretly in American private cellars
A couple of weeks ago I was in Seattle. There were some good excuses to visit Roy Hersh: 1. to check if the weather in Seattle is so gray as people say? 2. does Roy have any other bottle in his private cellar besides Port Wine? 3. is Boeing developing a seaplane specially adapted to [...]

American Wine Bloggers Conference – a great opportunity to see how Californian wineries promote their wines
Last week-end took place in Sonoma and Napa, CA, the second American Wine Bloggers Conference (check here the agenda).

New friends visiting our winery – Welcome The Port Forum and For the Love of Port

Quevedo was founded in 1991 as a family owned business in the heart of the Douro valley, responding to the needs of the generations that preceded the associate founders. These ancestors were passionately dedicated to their vineyards and to the culture that surrounded the production of wine. Consequently, the company was created as a seamless marriage between the initial phase of production and the promotion and selling of their wines. Currently, the estate is comprised of 100 hectares located in the regions of Cima-Corgo and Douro Superior, producing both red and port wines from only the five traditional port grapes Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinto Cão and Tinta Barroca.
