Everyone tells me it's a nightmare dealing with US customs - so I havn't given it much thought..you ever consider getting into the wine export business? because us in the states can't even get a case of this stuff.

Thanks Tom, am certainly in no hurry so if I can piggy back my small request that would likely be ideal - I love the scale though, I'm thinking about picking up a few bottles while you're ordering palletsuncle tom wrote:If you're in no great hurry, I'll probably be shipping another pallet or two from Quevedo next year - remind me around March time..
But PA is 20 mins from my wife's NJ residence; do we have any leads as to where in PA quevedo can be found?g-man wrote:quevedo is only carried by one state in the states and that's Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has a liquor control board which means if you're not in PA you can't buy the stuff.
It is indeed. Here's how it appears to work... Either we find QdQuevedo in a particular store, or we order it online and (for a small fee, unless we buy $200 or more) it is shipped to a PA store. That store could easily be in a convenient location like Allentown or New Hope.jdaw1 wrote:Wine Searcher has www.finewineandgoodspirits.com, which might be an affiliate organisation of PA liquor stores.
If only Quevedo shipped there...yea i called them upSushiNorth wrote:But PA is 20 mins from my wife's NJ residence; do we have any leads as to where in PA quevedo can be found?g-man wrote:quevedo is only carried by one state in the states and that's Pennsylvania.

They are sold through another website and Flickinger also used to have some, but not sure if they do anymore.g-man wrote:Andy Velebil wrote:Quevedo is imported into the USA by PRGrisley.http://prgrisley.com/ I would suggest contacting them and I'm sure Michael Grisley could help arrange you buying some bottles.
he's not, he's licensed only in PA so they sell only through the PA liquor authority.
I also asked Oscar about it and it sounds like they just don't make enough to ship to the us market as he says >90% of the inventory is already spoken for.
"I apologize to all of you that Quevedo Port isn't available online, but hopefully you'll be able to purchase their items very soon. @ G-man, we are indeed licensed outside of Pennsylvania, we just haven't seen the response for the Quevedo items like we have in that state, so that is our main market for Quevedo. We sell a limited amount in Florida (Orlando area) and Michigan, but it's been quite difficult expanding Quevedo- hell, it took us two years after our first meeting with Oscar to even get the first (legal!) bottle on U.S. shores!
@ Mark J., I've contacted Flickingerwines.com to see if we can get more Quevedo items to their warehouse so they can then make them available to all of you enthusiasts. Some of you may remember last year when we launched a "For The Love Of Port" online exclusive for the Quevedo items through Flickingerwines.com. The event went really well initially, but then interest fell off, which is why they decided not to re-order any additional stock. However, I contacted them today about getting several Quevedo items back on their website for ordering, so hopefully within the next week I will know one way or another if this is a possibility.
That being said, we have the following items in our warehouse, so maybe if I can let Flickingerwines.com know what specific items all of you are interested in ordering, they might decide to reorder from us and get them up on their site. We currently have the Quevedo Rose Port, White Port, Special Reserve Tawny, Colheita '96 and Vintage 2007. Lastly, for all you Douro red wine drinkers, you can actually order "Oscar's Douro Red" online here (http://goo.gl/ZlfAF).
I'll let all of you know what develops with Flcikinger wines.com- thank you so much for your patience!"
