I got the same offer today, plus Malvedos 1999 at £15 per bottle.

Crazy Christmas prices are with us again!

50 bottles (to be shared with others) of the Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" vintage port 2003. Having tried one, I realise that at £13.12 this is a steal of a deal for a port that will last my lifetime - crazy price for a terrific port.

The shelves of several Sainsbury's have now been cleared!

I love loss leaders.

17x 1983 Smith Woodhouse halves
4x 1992 Taylor
3x 1992 Fonseca
2x 1994 Quinta do Vesuvio 6-pack OWCs
1x Taylor Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha (in a pear tree)

The first four listings were from an Acker auction, the first time I've purchased from them. I don't know details about the condition, but those SW halves worked out to be just $8 each! They will make a nice daily drinker I hope.

Didn't know your name. I'm foomench there, and at winebid.com. At Christie's and at Zachy's you can't really know, but I regularly discuss my bids in other threads, like this one.

1995 Fonseca-Guimaraens and Taylor's Vargellas at exemplary prices, there were sadly only a few bottles of each, or I'd have gladly shared this in the marketplace.
