ABOUT QUINTA DO NOVAL, DOURO VALLEY, PORTUGAL: Since 1715, Quinta do Noval is one of the oldest Port houses known around the world. Quinta Do Noval is unique among Port houses in that most of the Ports are made from estate-grown fruit and all of the vintage Noval wines are from the single Quinta Do Noval vineyard on magnificent old terraces.
ABOUT GUEST SPEAKER ANTHONY COHEN: Brand Director for Quinta do Noval in the USA, Anthony was born and raised in the South of France on the border of the Mediterranean Sea. After graduating in International Business from Manchester University and in Marketing from Montpellier Business School, he decided to pursue his American dream and moved to New York in 2007. He spent the last 14 years representing some of the most beautiful wine estates in the world including Quinta do Noval. Anthony has been to the Douro Valley five times and is always amazed at how majestic these vineyards are. He is looking forward to tell the story about Noval, to share his passion for Ports and to guide us through the tasting.
