Still showing 8. I recall having it and it being riddled with VA and not so good. Not sure if that was indicative of the whole lot produced or not. Anyone else have this in the past?

Btw I also found this for only $25, the '01 Senhora do Convento VP.

Seems rather obscure to me, but might be interesting if you're looking to try something off the beaten path.

I've had it before and don't recall any VA problems. I'm usually pretty sensitive to VA, but because I don't find it offensive (unless it is really strong) I often don't even make a note of it. The main reason that I normally don't buy Crasto VPs is because their LBVs are sooo goood and usually quite a bit less expensive. But at $25... wow!

IIRC I have a magnum of this... Lisa found a bunch of magnums while on vacation and bought them all after calling me. The price wasn't quite this good, but I recall it being pretty stupid cheap for a magnum of VP!

Does anybody know if TCWC ships? I can't tell, it seems like you have hire that out and I'm not sure about how that would work.

No takers on the lot and so these can actually be had today for $18.75 ea.

They also have 4 bottles of '05 Niepoort for $37.50/ea with both lots ending in 5 hours.

I've spent way too much on Port this month anyways, but feel free to jump on this if you can actually obtain the bottles. And then maybe sell me a bottle later :D.

Their retail operation shipped to me in Colorado this week, and I've received auction shipments in the past. I don't know about PA.
