2017 Taylor VVV for $200 on WineBid closing in 2 hours with no bids atm.

They also have the rare, off-beat 1997 Torga for $30.

A few bottles left of the 1994 Ramos-Pinto Quinta Da Ervamoira $30
And some 1985 Offley Boa Vista $35
Both of which were tempting me, was hoping for a $5 price drop but that's probably not going to happen before they sell out.

There's also '92 and '97 Passadouros with bids on them but I'm assuming the '97 has VA. Anybody know if the '92 has VA issues as well?

Brentwood has a few interesting lots hammering on Thursday.

I don't think they know what they are doing with regards to price, which tend to be all over the place.

They've been trying to flog a 1978 Croft Roeda for $250 for months now (with seepage, no less). Meanwhile, they sell 1994 & 1995 Vesuvios for $42-44 and 1985 Fonseca for $56 minimum both of which I bought a couple months ago.

This week they have:
2007 Taylor VVV $125
1985 Graham's x4 $22 or $46 (seepage)
1995 Vesuvio $42
2005 Fonseca Panascal halves $14
2005 Taylor Vargellas halves $26
1970 Noval x2 $28
2000 Noval Silval $38
1975 Quady California Port $12 (I bought one of these cheap as well hehe, haven't tried it yet)

They usually have slim pickings with regards to Port, this week they have an ok amount. Very occasionally they have a big load. My limited experience there is that bidding on Port is not very competitive past $30-35.

I won't be bidding this week.
