For The Love Of Port

Two cases of Quinta dos Eirados Vintage Port - Vintage 1999 up for auction at Acker, ends tomorrow. I've never heard of this quinta. Has anyone?

Never heard of it.

I haven't heard of it either.

Saw that... What's the deal on those?

I didn't bite, and last I checked no one else did either. Still might consider it, but there were other more well known items to be had in that auction.

This is also available in the Netherlands: http://www.dekaaswaag.nl/product_info.p ... cts_id=630

A little more googling indicates it is made by Quinta de Santa Eufemia; at least I found the two names together in a few wine listings, e.g. http://www.wineaccess.com/wine/product/ ... rados-Port, so maybe it is a SQVP made by them.

Yes - Q d Santa Eufemia appear to have registered the EU trademark for this name. The label also appears to bear the Q d Santa Eufemia logo. The website suggests this was Eufemia's first VP (or first produced under the guise of Quinta de Santa Eufemia, at least)
