Hello from Oscar

Post by oscar quevedo »

Ola :tpf:

My name is Oscar Quevedo. After met some of you during the last months, I couldn't resist, staying on the sideline. I want to join the conversation and share with you my ideas about Port.

I was born and grew up in the Douro, in S. Joao da Pesqueira, where I'm currently living. My parents, grand parents and their ancestors have dedicated to vine growing and winemaking. Since a couple of months ago I'm also full time dedicated to the family business, a winery located in S. Joao Pesqueira, aspiring not to ruin the good fruit we get from our quinta.

I hope to see you soon in the Douro!

Thanks boys, I'm sure I will enjoy meeting you online!

Julian, this is great!! It will be really helpful for a tasting I will handle next August of 10 and 20 Years Old Ports.

If you want to make them yourself, that’s great. If not message me:
  • What ports are being served;
  • Who is attending (first names, or initials, or rank in the peerage, or whatever);
  • Header information, being the where and when;
  • And the paper sizes available to you can you print to A3?
And I’ll be happy to help.

Hey Oscar - welcome on board
Any time not spend drinking port, is a waste of time.

Oscar's a great guy, as a number of us have now met him recently. As a Port producer he is also a Pioneer in alternative forms of communicating. IIRC he was the first producer to have a blog and he still updates it regularly (many thanks for that Oscar). I highly recommend you bookmark his site and visit often for updates.

Hi Oscar, good to have you here!

If all goes well, LadyR and I will be in the Douro somewhere end of November. We'd love to meet you while we are there.

Hi Ronald,

I'll probably be in the Douro at that time. Please book in your agenda a visit to our winery so you can taste some of our Ports. I hope all goes well and you can make the visit. Just let me know when you known the days you'll come.
