ABOUT
- The Vera StoryAfter 12 years living abroad, I returned to my native Portugal. A friend in NY suggested I find some delicious Vinho Verde to send to the States. I told him if he came to visit me we would find it together. We started with a basic, yet eccentric idea, to offer an exceptional Vinho Verde.
Right before the 2010 harvest, we drove across northern Portugal in search of the Vinho Verde holy grail. We think we found it and invite you to decide for yourself.
VERA – meaning true, is a fresh and light as the maritime climate of northern Portugal. Drink it as my family does, chilled as an end-of-day relaxing drink, or as an accompaniment to light meals, like sushi and seafood, chicken, salads and pastas.
Um abraço,
Rui Abecassis

Vera’s at the great googamooga in Brooklyn Fry/Sat/Sun.
Come and say hello! http://on.fb.me/12IQoJN- Afterwork Refreshers Tonight, aka Tasting @ Terry's
May 16th, 6:30p to 8:30p - The New Face of Portugal w Rui Abecassis of OBRIGADO - Vinhos Portugal.
Terry’s West Village Wines 35 Greenwich Ave @ Charles ST NY, NY 10014
- Match made in Heaven
Slipped into Colonie late night recently and swooned over the scallops (w apricots, curry, eggplant, pine nuts). A glass of perfectly chilled Vera added just the right bright note. Delicious.
- Ready for her Close Up
Vera had a little photo-shoot the other day in Lisbon and we had lots of fun pairing the wine with some delicious summer companions. Take a look!
To see the rest of the shoot, click here
- Heading to Smorgasburg this weekend?
Do as the NYPost suggests & pick up a bottle of Vera from Uva for the perfect pairing to go with that Asia dog or Lobster roll- We’ll see you there! - Vera is picnic-ready! (according to NYMag)
With all due respect to Riesling evangelist Paul Grieco, there are other summer quaffs worth sipping. One is Vera Vinho Verde 2010, the first release of a new brand of the young-drinking, lip-smackingly refreshing “green wine” of Portugal. READ MORE… Spotted at Michael Towne Wine and Spirits this past weekend- Vera’s one of their favorite picks for summer!
- A meal to remember
We had the privilege of attending one of the the extraordinary tasting dinners at Roberta’s the other day- Carlo’s cooking is so assured & yet so humble…
