The 1994's aren't too bad for 24 years old and at a restaurant. The '94 Delaforce is probably the best bang for your buck on that list.

That port is decent and seems like the best time to drink it now. At least it's better than '94 Presidential or Calem...

Given that I typically see 2x - 3x markup in US restaurants, those prices don't really surprise me. I like that in many restaurants in Portugal you can buy wine for the same price typically found at retail.

You did, as did I. No doubt they bought them on a close out of some sort and passed on the savings. A good deal when they had them.
