Re: How and where do you cellar your Ports and Madeira?
My father and I have built a "wine-storage-room in my dad's garage (about 2 by 4 metres - about 6 by 12 feet) where we store our wines and Ports. It's fully isolated and has a unit for temperature and humidity control. It's capacity is about 2000 - 2500 bottles I think. I do believe it's import...

Re: Which is your favorite retailer for buying Port wine?
My suppliers of preference (until now) in The Netherlands are: Ton Overmars in Amsterdam, best prices on most occasions (wine and (Vintage) port) and a very wide selection (which is sometimes hard to find over here).
