Thanks! I'm tracking the auction now. Will likely exceed my price range for additional bottles with BP included, but who knows maybe I'll get lucky!

Just snagged 2 x 1966 Graham's Vintage Port from a K&L auction.

I'm jealous. K&L won't deliver to NJ.

I saw those. They look in great shape!

I suspect that I got 4 of the other bottles from the same lot that Mike bought from. I wonder who got that 6th bottle?

At that price I should have bought 2.

Well... once you add on 17% for the auction commission the price wasn't that good. Still worth picking up, but hardly a steal.

(I count auction commissions in "price paid" but not sales tax to more fairly compare auction prices with retail prices.)

Absolutely. I used to discard shipping in my calculations because I figured it cancelled out with no sales tax. But now that everyone is charging sales tax, I need to revisit this.

6 pack of Maynards 20 Year Tawny at $23 a bottle.

Wow, nice find! Though in Boston that's probably just a 15% discount for buying 6, right?

Straight up purchase from someone who owns a chain of liquor stores locally. No sales tax on booze in MA too!

1x 2016 Vesuvio along with some non-port things
