What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

[Andy Velebil]

1987 Malvedos VP.

[Glenn E.]

I just received an auction lot that I won earlier when shipping wasn't advisable. I thought that I'd slightly over-paid for it, but because it was a birth year wine - and a pretty good one at that - I was satisfied.
Turns out, the auction lot was for 2x bottle. So I didn't over-pay at all, and instead got:
2 x 1964 Taylor Single Harvest Tawny
for (IIRC) $300.

Isn't that the one I pointed you to, and pointed out that it was for two bottles?

Could be? My memory isn't what it used to be.

My buying is starting to move into the 1990s as the Ports I've been buying from the mid-80s have crept up over $100/bottle.

6 x 1994 Graham @ $85/ea

Glenn, what were you buying in the way of '80's Ports? I assume the Graham's '85 and maybe "83. Fonseca '85 and maybe the Dow's '80? Are their other bottles besides those that you were looking at that have crept over $100?

Mainly those, though the price for Gould Campbell and Smith Woodhouse during that era have also gone up quite a bit.

... maybe the Dow's '80? Are their other bottles besides those that you were looking at that have crept over $100?

I wish I could find 1980 Dow or Warres. Then I could think about price. Those are both rare in my shopping.

I only see the Dow's '80 at auction. I buy it when I can. I did actually buy 1 Warre's '80 at a B&M in North Jersey about a year ago. The price was a little high (about $120 after tax), but the bottle was in pristine shape and I never, ever saw it at a store before.

I bought 5 bottles of '80 Warre's for $45 a bottle about 6 months ago on a private sale. Drank them all.

That's a crazy good price. How did you find them Moses?

A "friend of a friend" that isn't so big into port had them. A couple had brittle corks, but at that price... A nice change of pace from the Maynard's 10 we usually drink during the week.

Agreed, you definitely can't pass them up at a price like that.

1 x 1977 Quarles Harris VP
1 x 2011 Churchill LBV

[Mike J. W.]

1 x 1977 Messias Colheita
1 x 1980 Messias Colheita

Both bottled 2018. I had won these on auction from WineBid, but they were advertised as Vintage Ports. I suspected that they were both Colheitas based on the photos they posted and I was right.

[Moses Botbol]

A mom and pop liquor store near me has 2000 Fonseca for $75 and 2003 Dow for $48 if I want to pick up what is remaining. Only a handful of each. Just need to get over there and collect them.
