They have a couple of good prices on Smith Woodhouse, too. Check out the 1985 and the 1994. 8--)

Do they actually have that stuff in stock? It looks like they have just listed their distributors SKU's. There is missing vintages and even a wrong vintage for a "2011 Colheita", which we know can't be right.

Ok a little checking and you may want to stay away from this store in NJ. Click the link for some varying reviews of this store.

I have purchased from them before and been happy as I recall. My past experience is not a guarantee of future results.

Now this listing:
Taylor Fladgate Porto Vintage Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha 2004
750 ml Reg. Price: $70.19 $50.49 (28% off) 31% discount on 6 bottles for $290.34
I'm willing to bet that is a mistake. I've found numerous VVV listings a host of stores to be incorrect.

I ran into another store in the suburbs here that allegedly had VVV on their website for $45 or $55, depending on the year. It was for regular Vargellas, apparently. I think it does have to do with incorrect SKU numbers. It's not deliberate bait and switch or anything like that.

I stopped by this store today--it's new and decently sized. As suspected, much of what is on-line is not in the B&M store--but the shelves had a decent selection nonetheless at decent pricing. Not many VPs and all newer (2005 Dow Senhora da Ribeira Vintage Port, 2007 Quinta do Vale Meao) and a few ports I have not seen elsewhere or too often (Portal LBV, Rocha LBV, A Vale Meao 10 year tawny, Churchill Reserve Ruby to name a few). Overall, for typical selection I would give them a B and pricing a B+. They have other stores in NJ as well.
