1997 VP, Quinta do Retiro Novo

Post by **Andy Velebil** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 3:32 pm

I saw this at the store today, it is by Wiese and Krohn. I bought one bottle only because I have not heard of this Quinta before. I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this VP. I was unable to locate any information about it. Thanks

Hey Andy, I was able to find a page for the Quinta at the Krohn website:

Mike,

Thanks for the link. Unfortunitly the Weise & Krohn site does no have much in the way of information about this port. Although it is interesting to note this appears to be a foot troden port. Would you, or anyone else, happen to have tried this one?

I assume this is probably an early to mid-term drinker?

I tasted it only once, and posted my TN's here.

I was surprised by its quality, certainly for the price (I think I paid 25 euros). If I see it again for that price, I'll buy for sure.

hi andy, is this one.(http://www.bevmo.com/productinfo.asp?sk ... al&Ntk=All)

I bought this at bevmo (in brea,ca) a while back for about 30 bucks, and not knowing much about port at the time. It was cheap and the word vintage port was written in big white letters. (Sucker) but to my surprise it wasn't half bad for a young VP for $27.99

Ronnie,

Thanks for the TN.

Portdogg,

That would be the one. I got it at the Costa Mesa store. It looks like the Brea store still has it, I am just down the road from Brea, so I may get more if I like it.
