For The Love Of Port

I fell between Gary and Bryan with my Quevedo order, at least in terms of number of cases:
8x 2007 Quevedo Vintage Port
4x 2003 Quevedo LBV Port
4x 1996 Quevedo Colheita Port
2x n/v Quevedo Special Reserve Tawny Port
6x 2008 Oscar’s Douro red wine

12 x 1970 Taylor
12 x 1970 Fonseca

there goes the yearly budget..

Wow.... very nice! I love these two wines!

From the Ontario Liquor Board you can buy Jose Maria Fonseca/ Van Zeller 2003 Vintage Port for only 20$. I bought 12. Maybe I'll buy more if its good.

C$20 for that! Buy more. Buy all you can. It's not Vesuvio 1994 but its not Hutcheson 1987 either. At C$20, it very good value for money.

In my humble opinion, of course...

1 bottle of Warre's Quinta da Cavadinha 1989 at $46

Sadly, its the last bottle they had--wish they had a couple more. Thanks to whoever gave the tip this was drinking well now.

2 bottles of 2007 Quinta do Vesuvio Capela VP for $90 each (74 Euros). Oh and they have no more left or I would have bought even more at that price.

I consider this one of the greatest wines of the last 50 years. It's 33 years old and still a baby!

Oh yeah!!!!

My port friends and I just purchased two more cases of those Fonseca Bin 27 375ml bottles at $5 each from Calif.--with shipping it's $7.03/bottle. We're finding these perfect for everyday, after a meal together, over a card game, etc. and the recent offering of this ruby seems especially good.

Call them for special shipping on 375ml; it's about 1/2 of regular but won't process on line, you have to ask for it. (K&L wines is sold out of this)

Not "real" Port but...

2 x 2001 Williams Sonoma "Mistral Vineyard" Port
2 x 2002 Williams Sonoma "Mistral Vineyard" Port

I don't expect much from these.... but didn't pay much either.

Snagged a bottle of 1997 Quinta do Noval Silval for $51 at a local shop. Seemed like a reasonable price. I note that Roy's Top 12 includes the 1997 Noval regular. Maybe this translates down to the Silval? We shall see.

It is a fine bottling Kurt. I think you'll be very pleased. I think that was the first Silval if I'm not mistaken, so it is cool to have the first of any new Port produced.

Some Quinta Vale d Maria 07 at a good price. Fonseca Bin 27 at $4.99/half. And to round it out some Blandys 1990 Colheita Malmsey since it is coming up on July 4th, and Madeira was used to toast the Declaration of Independence!

Not a purchase I've made this week - but I've just been reminded that I bought 16 bottles of Graham '83 several months ago but never added them to my cellar list.

Happiness!

one half bottle of
Calem 20 years old tawny port - bottled in 2008

Was in the Scranton, PA area and found some Cockburn 2003 LBV for only $18/bottle (Of all places to find a port I had not seen given PA's archaic liquor system). Glad to see a nice TN on this since I bought it blind.

Another 1977 GC Mag

They are hard to resist. The biggest challenge is deciding what the right occasion is to open one - do you think celebrating Friday as the start of the weekend is a reasonable occasion?
