You did and it's likely to continue, I'm (almost) afraid
Yes, be afraid ... be very very afraid. New storage will be required for your acquisitions, credit card bills will mushroom and vacation to Portugal will be imminent by 2012. We'd be happy to show you the greatest time in No. Portugal you could possibly experience. [cheers.gif]

1 x Fonseca VP at $50
2 x Quinta de la Rosa Finest Reserve Ruby Port $20 (Served at an open house this weekend--very nice ruby, competes with LBVs, but then its at an LBV price--still I'd recommend you try this if you want a ruby)

I haven't bought any port yet this week but today my girlfriend gave me a bottle of 2003 Quinta do Vesuvio for Xmas (probably my all-time favorite VP).

Yup, I think she's a keeper! [cheers.gif]
