Well done! may we inquire as to what the final price was?

100€. not bad right?

fill level is low in the neck of the bottle. not bad. the seller says there are no markings on the capsule as far as he knows but the bottle is at his mothers house so he can not confirm. he asks 210€ which is a bit much for me for a mystery bottle. he also said the bottle has been laying in a dark ...

i am trying to get more information

someone is selling a bottle of 1937 vintage (?) port. there is only 1 photo available right now. i have a few questions.. does it look fake to you? what price would you offer for it? (this is out of my normal port buying range so i have no clue how high to bid) any other remarks? the writing looks l...

Quinta da Taboadella Villae white and alfrocheira reserva (single variety wine) this Dao quinta is owned by the same family that has Quinta Nova de Nossa Senhora do Carmo in the Douro. the winery is brand new and has a very interesting architecture. I hope to visit Taboadella in the next few years....

i haven't had many ports at all. there is still some time in 2020 though
best so far was Niepoort 1992 LBV.

i'm thinking either 2005 noval silval or 1995 Fonseca Guimaraens could be next to open. or maybe 2004 kopke.

2010 Quinta do Perdigao Reserva single variety Jaen. (Dao wine)

2017 Quinta Dona Matilde

Quinta Mendes Pereira Dao red, white, red reserva, encruzado and rose. All are outstanding wines. I especially mention the rose as it is only touriga nacional and is a serious wine unlike many fruity light only-in-summer rose wines.

Crasto 1995 magnum

Quinta do Sobral
rose, reserva red, reserva white, touriga nacional and encruzado.

2x Caves De Murca vintage 2007. it's a coöperative and i can't find much information about it. but at less than 20€ for a bottle i thought i should try it.

i guess i'll start. i'm in the Dao region (close to Tabua) for a few weeks. going out is limited (like anywhere else) but there might be some options to maybe check out a winery.

The pandemic has shown me how important it is to stay connected, even at a safe distance. Social distancing should be physical distancing and social proximity in my opinion. It is time we all stick together and show some love as clearly everyone needs it. That gave me the idea for this topic. The po...

same here. i tend to open vintage or lbv ports when i have visitors. and that didn't happen.

(i'm still thinking about option 6)

how about someone from the younger generation who are now marrying tradition and innovation while the world (climate, market...) is changing?

Churchill Touriga Nacional Red 2013. i'm a fan now.

But yeah, most of us really had time to kill back in spring... I didn't, but pretty much everyone I know started one hobby or another.

it's back
