I could easily see some of the other Port producers being nominated as well.

Actually, in addition to voting for Oscar, which I have done too (and posted this same survey on the FOR THE LOVE OF PORT - FACEBOOK PAGE, there is one other BLOG entered into the finals that is deserving for their Port and Douro wine coverage ... CATAVINO. Ryan and Gabriella Opaz, do their share to promote Port too. They are not in competition with Oscar Quevedo, as they are listed in separate categories. You can vote for both! :scholar:

Between our forum and Facebook page and the efforts of TPF, I am hoping we've reached some critical mass and pushed Quevedo over the top! [yahoo.gif]

Haha, hey Roy and gang :)

Well, for some reason I think I misplaced the link once upon a time, and unfortunately my mind is fickle in that regard, so after not coming here a few months, I'd only remember about it in rare instances. But then I recently noticed you on FB (which I dont use much either), and as we are now starting to plan out own fall-trip to the Douro with "the boys", as well as going to Madeira with my wife, whom I tricked into going; well, lots of things made me come back, really! :winebath:

Dear friends, the final result was not the one we all were expecting. Although all your effort, the winner for Best Winery Blog is http://www.beendoonsolong.com.

I'll keep sharing with you our life in the Douro and sometimes in other places :wink:
