- 1937 Sousa Guedes Colheita (2x)

" Nice. Slight deviation, but which wines stood out? " Besides the '27 Dow, which was really special and delicious and no 1 for all, we were in agreement on the Riesling and Sancerre as top of the whites, and the Angelus for red (at 25 still really vibrant and youthful, I can see this also...

Happy soon-to-be 50th! Sounds like a fun gathering. What all else was opened? Thanks Andy! The other wines we enjoyed were 8--) [dance2.gif] [cheers.gif] : - 2012 Aspasie Champagne (small producer that I visit sometimes to pick up their wonderful Champagnes) - 1996 Wegeler Forster Ungeheuer Rieslin...

Dow 1927 Vintage Port. A fitting highlight at the end of my 'pre-50th-birthday' Wine and Port spectacle that I hosted for some Wine- and Portloving friends and family.

1x 1927 Dow's :D Very nice! I was indeed quite lucky to get this! Through a friend I got a question from someone who had this bottle (from her late husband, she's not a wine or port drinker), about what is was and what her options were. Once I got some pictures of the bottle, I was able to give her...

1x 1927 Dow's

Yikes!

Does your 2010 have a flared base, or is a normal Port bottle? They are normal Port bottles. Interesting. That's the bottle from my "later" bottles, but the back label from my 2008 bottle. My guess is that maybe my "later" bottles were bottled for the USA (since the label includ...

6x 1992 Smith Woodhouse VP

For me:

- no Colheita in magnum

- oldest magnum for LBV = 1999 Quinta das Heredias
- oldest bottle for LBV = 1973 Quinta do Noval
