Tickets: $10 wine club members | $20 non-members For us, making wine is all about having fun – making friends and helping friends make more friends. Friends to toast to happy moments, friends in times of need. No exhibitionism, nothing more to prove. Just good times enjoying each other's company. This is what we call “Friendology”. Quevedo Douro Oscar’s White Port (NV) Blend of Malvasia Fina (32%), Gouveio (20%), Viosinho (20%), Moscatel Galego (17%) and Rabigato (11%). Aromas of pineapple, ripe apples, honey and a touch of floral notes. This white Port is a young, floral, smooth wine with extraordinary drinkability. It is made exclusively with white grapes native to the Douro, and bottled when it is two to three years old. Fresh and exotic palate, perfectly balanced. Quite complex with notes of orange, honey, lychee. Beautiful finish on pure spring honey and a touch of pepper. Quevedo Douro Oscar’s Rosé Port (NV)
 Blend of Touriga Nacional (30%), Touriga Franca (30%), Tinta Roriz (30%) and Tinta Barroca (10%). A very inviting nose with aromas of field strawberries and watermelon, fresh and easy. Easy and light on the palate, yet having that classic velvety Port texture. This Port is fun to drink and has serious and pure aromas of young red fruits and tropical fruits. It’s tremendously easy to drink, either by itself or as a cocktail. Quevedo Ruby Porto (NV)  Blend of Touriga Franca (30%), Tinta Roriz (25%), Tinta Barroca (15%), Touriga Nacional (10%) and Others (20%). Complex nose of red cherries, cherry jam, dark chocolate and a touch of black pepper. This young ruby shows nice gentle tannins and slightly dry mid palate. Perfectly balanced, the pure flavors of young red fruits, spices and chocolate cascade successfully to a beautiful finish. Quevedo Oscar’s Tawny Port (NV) 
 Blend of Touriga Franca (43%), Tinta Barroca (34%), Tinta Roriz (19%) and Touriga Nacional (4%). This Tawny is quite complex combining a fresh and young character of dried red fruits while developing the aged Port aromas like plums, raisins, fresh hazelnuts and almonds. Nice spicy entry on the palate followed by a touch of red fruits. The mid palate is filled with dried fruits while the finish complements its complexity by adding layers of spices and caramel. The balance between acidity, sugar, and alcohol is perfect leaving a drier feeling that is most welcome. Quevedo 10 Year Old Tawny Port (NV)
