For The Love Of Port

I agree with your assessment, Roy, about the 1994 Noval Nacional. Since you mentioned that the pricing is a bit high for the '94, I may be able to offer a 10% discount off of 6 or more bottles - if anyone is interested, please PM me. I am having the Wine Cellarage do the selling and shipping for me ...

http://www.winecellarage.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=noval Due to financial need I am offering some of my Noval Nacional 1963 and Noval Nacional 1994 bottles that have long been kept in storage with the Wine Cellarage. Please feel free to send me a message through FTLOP if you have any questions abo...

Jay, your PM does not seem to be on here. What is your email address?

Hi Jay, what a great idea! I would join in with you and others at $500 for a Nacional vertical (and I'm in NYC).

It sounds like an awesome trip~! I would be interested to hear participants' rankings of the amazing variety of Novals tasted.

Gary's Wine in New Jersey (with which I have no affiliation) is offering Noval 2003 vintage port at $44.99 per bottle. Ground shipping is $1 per bottle if you order 6 bottles and free if you order 12. From what I can tell, it looks like they have a good 50 or so cases available! This is a wonderful ...

Dear Richard,

It is a true pleasure to read your posts and to share just a little in your wealth of knowledge and experience regarding Port wines. My question is simple. In addition to the 1963 Quinta do Noval Nacional, which are your other favorite Noval Nacionals in the post-1963 period?

I understand your sentiment completely (sports fans may have similar sentiments about paying so much for a single bottle of port wine!!). Only those of us who are extreme Yankees fans as well as Port lovers could appreciate the philosophical difficulty of deciding which one is more valuable - the pr...

Reading an article in a local newspaper yesterday on the emergence of bartering as a strong force in today's economy, I wanted to suggest the following. Several months ago I purchased a number of luxury seats for premium ballgames at Yankee Stadium. These seats are in the "Legends Section"...

The 1996 Quinta do Portal LBV is available through planetofwine.com, a New Jersey consortium of wine stores (check winesearcher.com). I just bought 2 cases of it at about $17 per bottle and opened one to try - it is in fine condition and drinking well!

My wife and I just returned from a lovely honeymoon trip in the Douro. One of our most enjoyable experiences was meeting Maria Teresa at the Association of Douro and Porto Wine Producers in Porto, at Rue Fonte Taurina no. 89. She represents small single quinta producers in the Douro who produce wine...

Roy, Your efforts to help others out through fortheloveofport.com, whether it's transporting a bottle to Canada for someone who otherwise couldn't get it at a fair price, or making an amazing donation to charity, are outstanding, and a set a benchmark that I am sure is unmatched by others in the ind...

Which bottle did you consume on your 50th Birthday, Roy (and Happy Birthday!)?

Roy, It was your article about Isaac which stimulated me to ask the question. After reading the fascinating piece on him, I contacted Isaac to ask whether he was aware of any Noval historical documents being available, and he said that they are incredibly hard to find. He also suggested that I might...

Hi - I am interested in purchasing an historical bill of lading (or other historical document) from Quinta do Noval that would be suitable for framing. I would appreciate any suggestions for where I might locate one. Many thanks!
