According to my cellar inventory, and drink-planning, I should now have just about completed my Port collection :evil: . That is, on paper of course. So hopefully I can now actually stop buying port for some time (as I've promised myself over and over again [beg.gif] [beg.gif] ).
Just keep buying port and i'll help you drink it. Sprundel is not far away so i have no excuse not to help you out. :salute:

You are going to love that 2003 Croft Vintage Port some day. I remember the first time I tasted it. Wow!

I've just bought a bottle of Berry Bros. & Rudd own label 1963 vintage port. I've been after a good condition bottle for a few years and finally have one with a nice fill and good colour. That'll make a nice birthday present to myself one day soon.

Bought a 6 pack of 2008 Taylor Vintage "Quinta de Terra Feita". Was too good a deal to pass up and I don't own that much Taylor.

Thanks. I like LBV's when I plan to drink the bottle over a week. $10 seems reasonable, no?

Fairly new to posting, but I've been a lurker for several months. In the last week I've purchased a bottle each of Taylor's VP '63, Croft VP '66 and even though it's not a Port, an N.V. Avery's Bual Madeira.
