We visited Quinta do Tedo during the 2017 Harvest Tour. I very much enjoyed all the wines poured for us. Thought they were on the pricey side though. They offered direct shipping to the U.S. at the time, have they expanded proper distribution in the U.S. at all? (which might provide a better price point)

They have a retailer in Northern California that handles their USA “Direct” online sales. I’ll have to dig up the name as I cant recall off the top of my head right now. And yes some of their tawny Ports are on the pricey side, but at least the quality is there to justify it.

I visited them in 2015 as part of PHT1, and enjoyed the wines as well. Checking with that retailer circa 2016, I found the non-tawny Ports to be quite pricey as well in the U.S.

That looks vaguely familiar, and I recall something about joining their club for member prices.
