1 x Warre's 1997 VP

1 x Quinta do Noval LBV (unfiltered) 2004 - given to me as a gift!

2x Noval LBV 2004... Buy n try... If i like it a lot, a case or three will be coming home with me, perhaps one will get "lost" in the far corners of the cellar (which is equivalent to three and a half feet away from the wine racks, but if I throw an old jacket or blanket over it, perhaps it can become lost to be found in a decade or two!)

Nothing yet, but there are a few interesting lots and the AMC Internet auction I'm looking at.

6 x 2007 Niepoort crusted (Ton Overmars) @ € 19
6 x 1997 Vesuvio VP (Belgium wine watchers) @ € 45

Guess I have to start drinking port in summer too...

12 x 375ml of Casa Santa Eufemia Old White(1973) @ 29$

Yes yes in Canada, Quebec even!!!! It's not at the SAQ, its a private import which means you have to pay more taxes for this...For the same price at the SAQ you can get a full 750ml bottle of Graham's The Tawny at 60$ I don't know how they made that mistake!

Fonseca 2005 LBV (unfiltered) - anyone have any experience with is? Any good? Haven't gotten around to opening it yet.

Also 6x Noval 2004 LBV. If I eave it for a few years, i'll be able to pretend like i'm decanting off sediment from a fine VP!

WOW--those are some seriously good prices!

A couple of Aperitif sized glasses of 2007 Graham's at $6 a glass across the street from where I live last night. My first tasting of a 2007 and I might go back tomorrow when the restaurant reopens to see how it does with 2 days on it.

Been in Denmark again buying ports and Douro wines, where the prices are cheaper and possible to get a refund for the Danish VAT and alcohol taxes.
