A cache of OLD Vintage Ports in USA

[Roy Hersh]

We have recently taken in a fantastic new collection of Vintage Port which is part of the Significant Cellar that we have recently taken in from a renowned and long-term collector of fine wine. I wanted to let you know about the Vintage Port section of this cellar as I know that you are a fan of this style of wine. All wines are in stock and are available for shipping, weather-permitting.

At a recent tasting we opened up 3 of the worst-looking bottles of Port from this collection (1955 Graham’s, 1963 Fonseca’s, 1963 Graham’s) all of which were seeping and had low fills, and all 3 of them were in just fantastic condition. I was lucky enough to take home the end of the ’63 Graham’s, and it stayed in great condition for over a week! This is a reflection of the overall condition of the cellar, and in spite of the fact that some of the bottles below have old seepage issues, I would have no hesitation at all in purchasing them.

We have available the following, being sold on a first-come, first-served basis:
