2 x 1875 D'Oliveiras Malvasia Family Reserve

I added the following to this order (which still hasn't shipped awaiting the arrival of the 1875):

1 x 1908 D'Oliveiras Boal
1 x 1971 D'Oliveiras Terrantez
2 x 1989 D'Oliveiras Malvasia

FWIW, the 1875 Malvasia is no longer listed on RWC's website so they must have sold through everything they'd ordered from the island.

1912 D'Oliveira's verdelho
1971 D'Oliveira's terrantez

6 x Barbeito 30 Year Old Lote Especial Malvasia
5 x Henriques & Henriques 20 Year Old Terrantez

RWC has received the 50-year bastardo, but has not yet added it to their web site.

Blandy's 20yo Terrentez

Trying to find their 2000 Verdelho, was really impressed by it

Where are people buying their H and H at?

Two stores in Massachusetts: Gordon's Fine Wines (http://www.gordonswine.com) and Julio's Liquors (http://juliosliquors.com/)

The importer is Haus Alpenz (www.alpenz.com).

1913 Barbeito malvasia (bottled in 2002)

from WineBid

Just ordered some HM Borges. Yes, they are in the States now! At Flickingers in Chicago and MacArthurs in DC.
Ordered the 15 year old Malmsey, 20 year old Verdelho, and 1990 Sercial.

I just bought a 750mL bottle of Blandy's 1980 Terrantez. Hope to open it on a special occasion...

Glenn,
You're getting into some high level stuff!

I'm a bit spoiled due to the people I know!

Picked up a RWC Boston Bual for a really great price; twist my arm. Enjoying it a lot. I like it a lot more than I did years ago. Not sure if the wine has changed or me... Either way I will buy more of this than I had in the past.

1902 Barbeito Verdelho
1905 Welsh Brothers Sercial
1910 Barbeito Sercial
1910 Leacock Malmsey
1964 VJH Boal
1964 VJH Malmsey

Justino’s 1996 Colheita (x3)

A very nice wine and a great value at $40

4x Blandy's Bual 5 year.
It's nothing special but I like it and it's on clearance in PA for $16, which I can afford! Two bottles are for tastings next year, the other two are for me.
Because it keeps after opening, Madeira seems like a wiser purchase on a budget.

Good price. Well done.

Was in Raleigh, NC for work and picked up a bottle 1988 D'Oliveiras Terrantez for $120. Good price for this locale!
