Re: port buying opportunity? at local store

PS: I also tasted the '00 Fonseca today that was sitting with its 131 friends on the floor and it seemed fine.

PPPS: My palate might not be as good as others on this board. :D

Re: port buying opportunity? at local store

Re: port buying opportunity? at local store

First, I am passing on all bottles at whatever the cost is. Second, the reason I asked for different thresholds is that it's unlikely he will sell the '63 Taylor for $30, but he might at $50 (or $60, or $70). Third, there are widely divergent quantities: I think he has 3 or 4 of the '63 Taylors and ...

I'd like one. (I'm a very infrequent poster, but lurk regularly).
