My Secret Santa even gifted me a bottle of port today!

What a wonderful gift!

Kopke 50 Year Old Tawny Port

18 x Cartuxa Reserva Tinto
It's an incredible wine at a very good price. I was shocked to see that the cost of this wine was less in the USA than in Portugal!

I have always loved this 30 year old!

What happened to this wine??

Stewart T. wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 6:32 pm That is entirely possible. I hope that was the case with this one because I am generally a big fan of the SW 85 (and GC 85)

I am generally a big fan of the SW 85 as well. Mine are dark and still tannic... but need a long decant.

How cool! Fall River.... yeah... Portugal in the USA!

3 x 2017 Cartuxa Reserva Tinto Alentejo
3 x 2017 Dona Maria Grande Reserva Alentejo

I'm still in for the 28th if it's happening
I would probably bring a Kopke 50 Year Old Tawny

Ha! Cool!

2017 Cartuxa Reserva Tinto - Extremely dark appearance! Glowing ruby/magenta rim. Full bodied! Mouth filling and it's all about the fruit. Then the very fine tannins and acid come it to give it balance. Finishes long and dry. Perfect acidity. Wonderful! Next day it seems more monolithic and closed. ...

I sincerely hope it goes well for you.

Thank you!

I would certainly be interested!

Btw, they had a huge influx of Ports this week, normally it's around 200 results if you search for Port, this week it's 577 (although there are some non-Ports in the results). Those wines are from my cellar, and there is more this week. I didn't want to sell them, but I didn't have a lot of options...

I picked up a few bottles of the 2019 Wine & Soul Manoella Douro Tinto.

Great bottle for $16 at WTSO when offered.

Yes! I went back and bought more several times!

Fantastic idea!
