For The Love Of Port

The last two were poured in Dirk's presence. Three times since 2020, but one was in February last year, poured by Daniel NIepoort. All of these were incredible. I tried to purchase some and was a bit amazed by the price of more than 550 Euros and saw one being sold for over 600 Euros in Portugal. I ...

Port of the ____ Vintage, has always been used by companies that are presenting a wood-aged single harvest Port. I have OLD bottles of C. da Silva Vintage Port, (1905) etc. and the label is very different back then. That said, I am surprised both my colleagues thought this to be Vintage Port. In fac...

Yes, sir. You chose a good year to join us, Luc!

4x DR L70 ... wish I had bought 10-12.
1x 40 year old Tawny by S. Leonardo .... most recently. None this week though

I see that the Http vs. Https is the reason they are trying to sucker someone into paying for the initial site, as without the "s" it is fairly meaningless to own nowadays. Thanks Eric! I was going to warn friends at the IVDP, as I thought maybe they are letting their site registration lap...

We usually do not allow such sales to be posted except in the marketplace. To keep this singular offering to those that are truly Madeira enthusiasts and not just curious, I asked Andreas to post this here instead. The list is absolutely daunting ... but yes, not for the faint of heart ... describes...

Nick,

For the most part, the companies are closed for business or have minimal staff on hand, at best. There are many better times of the year to be in Vila Nova de Gaia. Have you found a ride to/from the airport?

Jeez Frank, it has been years. I always wondered why you dropped off the face of the earth. I hope you and your family are all doing well. Quite a stash you have collected. I hope this helps your retirement fund!

I used to love this company. I believe they were the first in America to hold auctions for wine. I bought a ton of VP magnums from them during 1990-1994. When I look at prices in the list above, while slow increases in price, I paid considerably less for my mags then they are charging for 750s today...

We had a blackout here locally a couple of days ago. It began around noon and ended the next morning around 3 a.m. or so. I got so bored, I left my house and found pretty much all of Sammamish in the black. I drove to Redmond and lights were on, so I went to see a movie, the new James Bond. The past...

She would've paid thousands of pounds for anything that would have brought her senses back earlier than they eventually returned. I have a friend in OR who has never...

I am glad to see Eric mentioning that these were originally Krohn. I have photos of ALL 1863 and 1896 White and Colheita versions that were in Port pipes in their old REAL Port Knox. The original. There were three of the 1863's IIRC, but I'll have to take a look when time permits and see exactly how...

Great job Glenn. Glad you enjoyed this version of PHT2. I don't know that we'll ever be able to top this one, but we've never stopped trying to this point in time.

Frederick,

No, the 1927 was not with the white paper label with the writing on it.
