  1. Finish out a mixed case of 2009 VP.
  2. 1970 VP, possibly older but I have more confidence in this year
  3. Colheitas
  4. Other bargains as they arise
  5. Maybe some 1977 or 1983 VP
  6. Maybe some 2000 VP
  1. I bought the 2009 Fonseca and Taylor, so nearly done. I was thinking about some 2009 Croft as well, but may wait for it to come up as a bargain.
  2. I tried to buy some 1970, but didn't have much luck. Maybe, maybe not.
  3. Bought a case in the FTLOP offering.
  4. Found a few of these, like some 2003 SW for $23 each.
  5. Bought a little 1977 Gould Campbell, and a bunch of 1983 SW.
  6. Picked up some Taylor and a little Fonseca, so I think I'm good there.
All the above and with some newly acquired 1994 QdV and Fonseca, I think I may be done buying for 2012. Mission accomplished, and it is only April!
