Presenting a documentary about Quevedo in New York
Quevedo is heading to North American, for its annual trip, with the same purpose of the trip in 2009: to attend to the American Wine Bloggers Conference. The conference will take place from June 25th to 27th in Walla Walla, WA. But before flying to the west cost, we will show our wines in New York City, Tuesday this week, where we will open some bottles of Oscar’s 2008 and share it with the 40+ people attending to the tasting.
The highlight of the tasting will be the presentation of a video that Zev Robinson, a Canadian residing in Spain , will show the audience how Catavino and Quevedo work together in the promotion of our wines using social media. Zev was in the Douro last May filming our winery, vineyards and daily life, and was also present at wine fairs and tastings to record enough material for a longer documentary about Quevedo, the Douro and Port Wine. He will come back in late July, and in early October for the harvest to complete his work. By the end of 2010, we will have a longer video to share with you so you can have better idea of how we promote a very traditional wine like Port Wine using social media.
In the meantime, I’ll show you the video Zev will present early this week in NYC and latter in Seattle.
Enjoy it and let me know which is the part you prefer.
Oscar

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.
