Re: Are you thinking of retiring to Portugal?
I would love to retire there as well (some time between 3 - 8 years). The task seems overwhelming, however... figuring out healthcare, citizenship, taxes, real estate, etc... Where does one start?

Barbeito making a still white table wine
Well... this is interesting (Verdelho and a bit of Sercial)... I wonder if it will make it to the US... Here is the article (in Portuguese):

Re: Prices are getting out of hand...
Not to mention the ridiculous price... who would buy from them? A FULL bottle sold at a Zachy's auction this month with a "price realized" of $7410.

I was going to mention the stenciling. I've never seen stenciling like that on Barbeito bottles before.

Things to do near Quinta do Tedo?
I will be staying two nights at Quinta do Tedo in June and was wondering about places to go nearby that are open to the general public. Quinta de Naploes is so close and is a gorgeous place (I was there on one of Roy's trips in 2007)... is it open to the public? Any other must-see places? Regards, M...

Taylor’s 325th Anniversary Limited Edition Tawny Port
Just picked a bottle up for $37. I was a bit underwhelmed. Nice and flavorful, but a bit too soft and rounded for my tastes. I felt it could have used a bit more focus and grip. At least the bottle was cool looking. Anybody else tried it? http://taylor.pt/en/catalogue/port-wine/very-old/325th-annive...
