Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
While in Porto last week I bought single bottles of Osborne 1994 VP, the Confraria 40YO Tawny, Bulas 10YO White, Quevedo 10YO White and a bottle of Kopke 2011 White Colheita. All bought for fun; none are likely to last beyond the end of the year!

2016 Smith Woodhouse VP x2
And the infrequently produced 2016 Quinta dos Eirados VP x2. Part of Santa Eufemia, should be interesting.
Got all four for $80 plus BP!

Wow! It's around 90$ Can! Here in Quebec, I can't imagine seeing 1992 fonsecas below 150$ US.
Nice catch!

Cris responded with some type of Portuguese hand signal utilizing 2 fists with a single finger extended. I'm not sure what that means. My Portuguese hand signal knowledge is a bit rusty.

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
My daughter recently got engaged and the bloke was born in 1989...what a challenge to find Ports in that year! But I did!
3 x 1989 Kopke Colheitas.
Note: She was born in 1993 so this couple clearly has a birthyear Port problem---(I adopted 1994 for her years AGO.)

One of my wife's cousins has the same problem.

Yep, winesearcher.com. It's my most-used method for finding Port.Scott Esterly wrote: ↑Sun Jul 02, 2023 12:57 pmDid you find these on a site like wine-searcher? Curious as to how you/others source young/brand new vintages.
