Hi Zak,
You will never regret that decision!!
Love that Vintage Port. One of the many truly great Vintage Ports produced by Taylor's.

Re: Do you remember your very first FULL CASE purchase of Port?
I assume that by 'full case' you mean 12 bottles
I've bought several VP's in 12 bottle numbers of the 2005 vintage (my oldest sons birthyear) on release in 2007: Taylor's Vargellas and Feita, Kopke, Croft Q. da Roeda. But half of these are meant to go to my son in the future, so technically I don't have 12 of each to myself )
The first full case for me, turns out to be Taylor's Q. de Vargellas 1991 (in the form of 2 sixpacks), bought in 2013

My first and so far only case purchase was a 1995 Ferreira VP. Certainly not a classic, but a good cellar defender that I got at a dirt cheap price at auction. The price was too good to pass up.

I have purchased several mixed cases, but until today never a case of one Port. Today 12 x Q. do Portal White 10 year tawny--there aren't many left on shelves and I love the stuff.
Any Port in a storm!
