Re: What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

1x Grahams 1985 mag 12x 1987 Niepoort. no mention of which one in the listing. Hoping it is the garrafeira, not an LBV. Am fine with the VP or Colheita for $550 W/BP The 1987 Garrafeira runs about $600 per bottle . So if you got a case for $550 W/BP I'd be shocked if it is the Garrafeira. My guess ...

I'll drink it instead of Cris! 8--)
Cris responded with some type of Portuguese hand signal utilizing 2 fists with a single finger extended. I'm not sure what that means. My Portuguese hand signal knowledge is a bit rusty.

Re: Offline in Los Angeles Area -- 2023 version

My wife and I will be in for the 28th event. Likely will be 40+ ports and a big lunch, so that day won't likely work for out of towners including Roy to drink even more port that day. Maybe the Friday prior or Sunday after can attract some attendees from the event including Roy.

Great bottle for $16 at WTSO when offered.
Yes! I went back and bought more several times!
I just got 6 more. So nice and fresh. Not high acid for marinating purposes, but good for cooking with 1/2 a bottle as you sip the other 1/2.

Re: What Portuguese wine have you purchased this week...

3 x Vallado Reserva 2010 . The auction listed them as a Vintage Port, but they made no VP then and no VP with 'reserva' on the label in any year.
Price was fair for ready-to-drink Vallado reserve.
