What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

I had to go through a friend that lives near one that has it. Around me the Costco's don't carry it. So I suspect it's only on a store by store basis. My only complaint about Costco, their wine is very store dependent. They all seem to carry different stuff.

Well, two near me; time for a visit, I think.

Hot conditions here in Holland. So I had my first contact with the Croft Pink Port.

I put it in the fridge ... sat on the terrace under the umbrella and it was real cool, refreshing, a little treacly but sweet. Red fruit, strawberry, raspberry, smooth, not too much alcohol.

You can't call this port, and don't think about port.It surely wasn't so bad as I expected after what I read about it.
Next week I pick up another one for sure !

Marcel,

Glad you enjoyed it. Sure these Rose' aren't really aimed at the serious Port drinkers like us. But well chilled on a hot day, these are quite nice and hit the spot.

The Costco near me has the Taylor 20 Y.O. for 29.95, but they don't carry the Otima or the Kirkland 10 Y.O. or the the Dow's 20 Y.O. + glass pack. I think Andy's right - the selection is very store dependent and the online site doesn't seem to help much.

Amen! I've never found their online store very helpful, so I don't even bother anymore. I usually just brows through my local store when I am there and see if anything catches my eye.

I think so. They only had one more 1994, the Dow's, but it was expensive, next time. I want to try some Dow's vintages, but aroud here it isn't easy. Even on the web, they become very expesive.

The 1994 Dow's is great. and I just bought a case of it, so if that ain't proof I don't know what is

Traveled thru Illinois and Iowa last week. Stumbled upon a 375 ml of 2000 Kopke LBV for a mere $15.99.
Also bought a 2004 Quinta do Noval VP for a steal.

I'm really proud of myself - I've not bought any port thsis week! (Paid for some though.)

What I did buy was a ticket to a Berry Brothers port tasting which includes a couple of wines I've not tasted before and some I have not tasted in a while.

I haev to wait until December for the tasting though.

Yesterday, I picked up my order of:
- Niepoort 1991 VP (2 bottles);
- Burmester 1991 VP (2 bottles);
- Q. do Passadouro 1992 VP (2 bottles).

I'm picking up 2 Q do Bomfim's 1992 VP as well somewhere this week.

Furthermore, I've ordered a case (6) of Burmester 2005 VP, which will be delivered in about a week.

2006 Dow's Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira ($25)
2005 Quinta de Roriz ($20)
2003 Graham's ($40)
I just picked up a few, as I don't know much about the Dow's and Graham's. I read Roy's TN on the Roriz a while back and wanted to get that, and at $20, I think it would be hard to go wrong.

Just bought for my collection:

Mackenzie's 1955 VP
Taylor's 1948 VP
