If you are ordering alcoholic beverages to be shipped to one of the following states...
AR, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MS, MT, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WV
...we won't be able to accept your order over the Internet. Please call (800) 247-5987 for more information.
Maybe there is a way to get that order through over the phone? Might be worth checking it out, if interested.

Just my 2c.

No. New York has totally stopped out of state shipments unless the producer or retailer has a license in place and can show proof to shipping companies they comply with their now-being-strictly-enforced laws. I've posted a thread about this somewhere on here, which had a link for full details to wineberserkers where it was extensively discussed.

Hmmm...I still wonder why they then would mention the phone option if nothing goes, anyways.

However: 1 bottle of my 1966 Taylor VP went live recently, too, besides Fairchild Stones 2013 #1 and #2.

Funny thing is that they sell a 1966 Taylor Tawny at the same time (mine is auctioned) but I was astounded by the 270 bucks for the Tawny...anyone having any thoughts about this one?

I suspect they end up shipping to New jersey, which has been the popular thing for NY'ers to do, then they drive over and get it. Or perhaps they have a 3rd party shipper that has a permit they send it through.

Hi Andreas,
I rarely check this forum, but can explain the high price.
Taylor only released this wine within the past couple of years - they have instituted a 'late release' program. I don't recall the price, but the cask(s) were tasted before bottling, so are of undoubted quality.
Earlier this year they released the 1967 Colheita - most of it earmarked for Canada (our 150th birthday this year). In Ontario it retailed for $300 Canadian (slightly less in B.C.). I tasted it - spectacular!
Also bought a bottle for our Port tasting group here - works out to about $25 for a 'taste' - at that price doubly worth trying.

PS Did you recently acquire a 1925 Madeira on-line? Somebody outbid me (and I don't want to compete in future).

IMO, the 1966 is considerably better than the 1967 Taylor's Single Harvest Port.

Stewart,
No contest on the VINTAGE ports. 1966 far ahead for me.
But it's the (recent) release of wood-aged ports from both vintages (by Taylor, Fladgate) that hasn't been well-covered.
I missed the 1966 (tawny) but the 67 features very high acidity which gives it an impressive balance (I rate it higher than the vintage port from the same year - albeit I haven't had that for a long time).

I have had the 1966 and 1967 at least 3x each, (the 1966 many times more than that). One time side-by-side. For my palate there's no question that 1966 bests the 1967 Single Harvest Tawny. I have the 1968 in front of me and will get to taste it so that it can be included in the upcoming newsletter.
