FTLOP members could raise the 500k, and we could open the FTLOP bar....
I know a tiny town called Sandefjord, Norway, in desperate need of a place like this.

Done

Espen, Save your magnum 05 and the 07. Get your hands on a half bottle or 0,75 of the 05 VP, and drink it. I've had 6-7 bottles of the 05 and this is one of my fav ports. I really enjoy young ports, and this wine is my runner up in my young port competition. The Quinta do Vale maeo 07 wins, Niepoort...

Earlier I tried to connect with Ftlop'ers through cellartracker.
If anyone would like to share their cellar info, they can add my nickname "ttholst" as a cellarbuddy in CT.

According to CT my port value is currently 4100 usd..

Great note Espen. I totally agree with your impression. I've only had earlier bottlings of this one, but i seems there aren't much of a difference.
I'm mainly a VP fan, and tawnies always seems to be a bit sharp to my fruitloving palate.

It's not like any of you hold us back. :( I'm about to push you off the edge - my friendly wine merchant is currently putting together a example quote for shipping a 6 pack of Vintage Port from the UK to Norway [dance2.gif] The good news is he told me today that the import laws in Norway were simpl...

12 x 1997 J.W. Burmester Porto Vintage
4 x 2005 Niepoort Porto Late Bottled Vintage
2 x 2007 Quinta do Vale Meão Porto Vintage

"delivered to your door for under $50 is a screaming deal. "

I'd buy 2 cases, but i suspect this offer is for US members...

I'll give my next bottle a night in a decanter....
