I am trying to find information on the following wine
Duas Quintas, Douro Reserva 1994, Adriano Ramos-Pinto, Vila Nova de Gaia
Can anyone direct me to a website for this?

The Ramos-Pinto website is at http://www.aevp.pt/associados/english/arpintoi.html
Wine Spectator states: "A finely sculpted red with rich ripe flavors of plum, raspberry and dark cherry and plenty of spice. Has a lovely aroma of cassis and a nice broad frame. Dark chocolate and mocha flavors chime in on the finish. Drink now through 2002. $27."
The Larousse Encyclopedia entry on Adriano Ramos-Pinto states: "One of the most innovative firms in the port trade, with considerable research in viticulture and winemaking. Until recently it was owned by 42 members of the Ramos-Pinto family, but now control is in the hands of the Roederer Champagne house. The firm owns five quintas: Santo Domingos, Bom-Retiro, Urtiga, Bons-Ares and Ervamoira. Two of its aged tawnies are released as single-quinta wines: Bom-Retiro (a 20-year-old) and Ervamoira (a 10-year-old); the firm also produces vintage wines that are known for their considerable elegance."
Sounds like you have a winner in the '94 red.
