For The Love Of Port

A case of Quinta do Portal WHITE 10 year old tawny, all 375s. Just a lovely casual drinker with a beautiful color as well.

8 x Dow 1963 VP

V excited to be getting these!

2 x Quarles Harris 77
2 x Warre's 85
1 x Smith Woodhouse 70
1 x Blackett 30 Anos

Also a friend was so nice (without me knowing) to send me a 4 cl bottle of a 40+ anos Brunheda he drank this past weekend. Port buddies are the best

1977 Ferreira VP's. Bought and then realized I had few bottles already....

Two easy solutions:
(1) Drink more of them
(2) Give / sell them to other Port lovers

Problem solved

That happens to me as well.

6 more 2017 Graham's The Stone Terraces. If I get everything that I've ordered (which I've learned the hard way isn't guaranteed when ordering pre-arrival) I'll have 24 bottles a 1 Tappit Hen.

Three bottles of S. Leonardo 20yo White

2x 2011 Dows VP

6 x Mags of Fonseca 1975

This brings me fully stocked on Magnums for my annual 'Dead cow' dinners, which have been running on my birthday since 2000. These require one veteran VP bottle, plus 2 matching magnums that are a multiple of five years old since vintage and are at least 30 years old (plus an indecently large quantity of fillet steak, hence the name). I now have magnums allocated for every year up to 2055.

I still need a few more magnums to bring me up to speed for the large format dinners which I intend to commence annually on November 5th 2024. On odd numbered years, the planned offering will be two magnums that add up to exactly 100 years of age, which is an engaging challenge to lay down..

A Challenge yes, I have faith you’ll pull it off :)

That's a lot! I just counted 22 magnums or larger in my cellar and thought that was over kill... I guess not!

Given the reputation of the year, a well cellared FG68 is a bit of a surprise - good juice!

I'm glad to hear that. As for whether this bottle was well cellared, that is TDB. It's my birth year, so I thought I would give it a try.

A 1971 Dalva Golden White that a co-worker brought back for me from Portugal.
