2007 VP Declaration

Post by Derek T. »

A contact at Niepoort told me today that their 2007 VP has been approved by the IDVP and will be bottled in May. 8--)

Does anyone know of any others?

Please don't post rumours or unconfirmed stuff here or you may inadvertantly cause the producer to incur the wrath of the IDVP :Naughty:

Having been in close touch with the IVDP for the past two weeks, it is very interesting to hear what is going on. That is for sure!

I also get some inside news from the producers but am politely asked not to put these tid bits into print. :(

Roy,

I did ask permission from the producer to post this so you can sleep soundly. But I have also had lots of "please don't post this but..." messages in recent weeks :wink:

Derek,

I slept very well thanks and was not referencing your post when I wrote that.

I was woken up this morning by a Port firm to tell me they are declaring and will be back in touch with a formal announcement today or tomorrow.

We need some of those "unamed source within the administration" types around here.
