Not affilliated, I just like to share what seem like good deals! ( and I like when others post similar!)

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

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 an appointment in Metuchen tomorrow. I will stop in this store and scout it out.

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.

Likewise. I've orderd from them - price was great, shipping was fast, product was as-advertised.

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.
