I don't mean to change the subject but... :) does anyone know a good place to get port tongs? If you know a place in Portugal, that would be even better since I'm planning to be there this Fall.

1977 Graham's VP
still pretty good, but for me it was overshadowed by a 1977 Fonseca VP I had a week before.

Re: Source for port tongs
Anyone knows where to purchase port tongs? I've found one on https://porttongs.com/ but $160 is a steep price for such a simple device.

Re: Two bottlings of 1977 Fonseca's VP
I will share the full selo once I get home, but I wonder how it is possible to have a later release of a VP. Was it bottled (in 1979) and was stored w/o labels? And label were added later when the port was sold to Kobrand?
