Hello all,
I just got an email today from The Chicago Wine Company about good pricing on some 2000 ports. You can see the list
here. It looks like the best deals are Churchill and Dow.

Thanks John.
Both are excellent values and great VPs! I appreciate you posting this here on

and CWC is a fantastic company. Most of the Mags of Port I own were purchased from them in the early 1990s.

A few goodies in there. Chicago Wine Company has an excellent reputation. I think they are strict on where they'll ship to.

They probably are Moses, but if you see something you like I can take delivery on it and ship it to you. It takes me about 30 minutes to get to them from my house.

I'm past my port quota for the moment, but the '80 GC's are a steal. I'd buy all of those ASAP!

It is a great price. I bought a case of this from them back in June, when it was actually priced less than the $35! I think I paid $33 including sales tax. The wine is fabulous, but every cork has been loose in the neck. They haven't leaked, but I have to be careful of what kind of pressure I put on them with the corkscrew or else I end up pushing it straight through.

Why bother with the corkscrew then? Just push it in and pull the cork out after. My '80 Ferreiras are like that too. Gould Campbell is always a good discount sleeper.
