Haven't been disappointed with any 2011 lbv's
Excellent price/quality ratio

3 x 1992 Smith Woodhouse VP. I meant to bid on the '91 SW lot which was right above the '92's in an Acker auction, but my wife came over and started talking to me. I got distracted and accidentally clicked on the '92. Oh well.

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
It would be interesting to try those two side by side. I have a single bottle of the 1991, none of the 1992; although I do have 1992 Smith Woodhouse LBV, which is really good as I recall.Mike J.

Yes, it started really low, like just a plain SQVP Vargellas. I ended up paying $92 with BP, but still a great deal.Mike J. W. wrote:Did you pick that up on WineBid?

Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?
I had won another '85 Offley at an auction in late February after I had it as my WOTN at John M's February Port tasting. I think it's a pretty good Port. Not at an '85 Fonseca level, but still a very nice Port from a Tier 2 brand.Andy Velebil wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 7:22 pmNice. Curious about the Offley when you open it.Mike J.

12 x 1997 Quinta do Infantado VP won at auction for less than $16 / bottle in good condition. Crazy price for a cellar defender.

4 x 2011 Graham's The Stone Terraces Vintage Port
These are getting harder to find. Someone from the Sammamish Port Club saw these in a local store and pointed me in the right direction. Possibly due to the virus making times difficult, I was given an industry discount (15%) for buying all 4 that they had.
I also recently ordered:
2 x 2011 Graham's VP
2 x 2016 Graham's VP
2 x 2017 Graham's VP
I'm getting ready to do another Stone Terraces tasting and I like to serve the regular VP next to them for comparison. I don't quite have the heart to include a 2015 Graham's Quinta dos Malvedos in the mix, though. That just wouldn't be fair.
