Eric, it can be a lot of money of VAT refund in EU... You Americans should always use it on most shopping... For us too since Norway is not a member of EU....

Nice! I was there when you bought that. Nice to hear that the refund actually works. Props to H&H for participating in the refund scheme!Eric Ifune wrote:Got a nice surprise. I applied for the VAT refund at H&H for the Riserva Sercial but didn't think it would happen. Got a refund on my credit card for 148 euros.
Now, what else to buy?

Yes, with the VAT refund and the tour discount, I got about 12% off.

He, he Andreas , in 1986 on my first trip to Madeira I bought 1882 V AO-SM and 1910 S AO-SM at Madeira Wine Company, before they had time to repaint the bottles they bought from Anibal.. Still in stock here..

Reidar,
this is the good side of being older...you had oh-PORT-unit-ies I can only dream of...
I have to slowly accumulate but doing my best...which doesn't mean I am doing GOOD (in abolute terms), but MY best
Today I got Abudarham 1934 Boal plus Abudarham 1920 B.
