Croft 1977

BPW wines is a retailer that acquires and sells off collectors' cellars. Today they posted an offering that included 3 bottles of Croft 1977 at $69 apiece.

Re: NEXT BUYING OP

Hi-Not sure if I'm missing something, but I just subscribed to the newsletter (in part to get in on this offering, though I'm sure the newsletter will be worthwhile on its own), and I don't see any posted newsletters most recent than November 2013. Will a new one be coming out tomorrow?

Re: Pedro Ximenez 750mL at Cinderella Wine for $22

Michael, be sure to check out dry sherries as well, like fino. Some of my favorite wines. They go great with Spanish tapas and are often really good buys ($15 and under).

Pedro Ximenez 750mL at Cinderella Wine for $22

As per the subject line.

For those of you for whom port just isn't sweet enough...

Seriously, though, I have had El Candado PX and it is glorious. As you probably know, it's a bit too thick and sugary to drink but it's pretty friggin' awesome over vanilla ice cream.

Garagiste (Seattle) offer Calem 2011 VP $40

As per the subject line, the e-mail wine retailer Garagiste, based in Seattle, is offering Calem 2011 Vintage Port for $40 for a 750mL bottle.

Anyone have any opinions about Calem? From what I've been able to find, they seem to produce 2nd-tier VPs (at best).

Re: 2003 Ferreira at WTSO - $19.99

Hi-
Perhaps I'm too suspicious but wondering why this is only $19.99...
FTLOP reviewed it and gave it an "89". Ferreira is, as I understand it, a highly reputable port house.
What's the catch here?
