I have seen this as low as $65 in the past few years, but apparently that was a while ago as $79 seems about as good as it gets today in the United States. I received an e-mail from them indicating they have 15 cases to sell, with delivery in the fall. The e-mail featured one of Roy's tasting notes, and even had a picture of him. I'm not sure if I will jump at this, but put it out for your consideration. I have no financial interest in this, but have been a very satisfied Blicker Pierce (Wagner) customer in the past.

Eric,

Looking back only makes one feel nostalgic. I bought my cases when it was on pre-release for under $30 back in the day. We'll never see a price like that again. The retailer is a great source of wine, (regardless of them using my score/photo ... whatever).

I did find it funny that I was considered the "conservative" on of the group of Port critics quoted:

1994 DOW'S Vintage Port $79!!! WS97, WA97, RP96, RH95

To contact Blicker Pierce: 707-967-0240 ... those 15 cases will be gone by tomorrow.

Disclosure: I have purchased wine from this retailer but have zero financial interest in their offerings ... ever.

An absolutely wonderful wine. One of my all time favorites. A guy from work contacted me after he had tasted this at a tasting. It blew his and his girlfriends mind and he had to find some. It really turned him into a Port fanatic.
