Few notes on this (Sarah Ahmed's was the only one I found)....seemed OK so I took a flyer and got some.


Here's the text from the retailer....


"Once in a lifetime..."
It's often applied to the wrong set of circumstances, but the expression "This type of offer only comes around once in a lifetime" is never more appropriately used as when one is discussing Vintage Port. First, Vintage Port by itself is so rare that is only accounts for 2% of all ports made in Portugal and not every year is declared a "Vintage Year". Secondly, Vintage Ports are usually so pricey (most start at $100) that most consumers buy them for a special occasion, a splurge or a perhaps a gift and they may only do that once or twice in a lifetime...that is, until now! Today we are offering a highly rated (93 Points from The Wine Spectator) Vintage Port from one of the most respected Houses in Portugal, Quinta De La Rosa, for a fraction of its Wine Spectator List Price. This offer is going to make drinking Vintage Port a more of a weekly thing and less of a rare occurrence. Speaking of rare, they only made 550 six packs of this Vintage Port. Only 550 six packs for the entire World and there are only 150 six packs in the United States. We have twenty of them.

Why Buy Port Now?
Spring is almost over and it's getting warm so why are we talking about Vintage Port now? Basically for the same reason you buy winter clothes in the Summer, to save money. Vintage Port during the cooler months is in high demand and therefore the prices reflect that. Vintage Port is already an expensive item, why buy it at the peak when you can purchase it now and save big. The distributor who sold us this wine is completely sold out and we know why. They were smart. They came to us in January with a pre-sell offer knowing that we couldn't pass it up. Vintage Port is Vintage Port after all. The price and score were just too good. Unlike most stores who will hold onto the wine and sell it for triple the price in December, we are offering it now. At a great price! For this price the possibilities are endless. Just think about Father's Day coming up or perhaps Birthdays, Anniversaries, a 2009 Memento (perhaps a keepsake for the year your child was born) or my favorite...for drinking every day!
