Buying Op for later this year
Before undertaking a major project like putting together a Buyer's Op for our subscribers, I'd first like to see if there is enough interest here to move forward with this:
A nice broad offering of Madeira that would be available to pretty much ALL countries. What do you say?![Huh? [shrug.gif]](./images/smilies/shrug.gif)

Re: Buying Op for later this year
I would say YES!
Re: Buying Op for later this year
I'm directing my spare cash towards vintage port these days, so a Madeira buying opportunity is one I would pass on.

I might buy a bottle or two, but there's an excellent chance that I'd pass on Madeira. But then you already knew that.

Re: Buying Op for later this year
Enough negativity from those who are not interested. Yes, I look forward to the opportunity. So what if nobody gets Christmas presents from me this year.

Re: Buying Op for later this year
I need more madeira so I say Yes as long as it is a broad offering (price rangewise) and not just the ultra high end stuff.

I will gladly take Glenn's allocation.
Re: Buying Op for later this year

Thanks!

Re: Buying Op for later this year
I love the idea of a Madeira offering, but I to would pass as this point and prefer to see it offered later in the year.

Re: Buying Op for later this year
Sorry Roy, I'm not into Madieras (yet), so I'd say no.
Any Port in a storm!
Re: Buying Op for later this year
Andy,
None of this would probably happen until Oct. at the earliest and November is more than likely.

I can only speak for myself, but later (nov-dec) would be best to allow the pocket book to recover from a variety of things, including a long trip to Portugal.Roy Hersh wrote:Andy,

That time of the year would be better for purchase and ship right away too.
