Thanks. How long ago was that?
And why didn't you buy them out? :)
A year ago, but they are not moving a ton of fancier stuff... They also had Barros Colheita for terrific pricing.
I don't go chasing Colheita like I would for VP. There's always a good deal on tawny from someone that a Colheita just isn't as attractive... I am happy with 10 & 20 year tawny if I am not drinking VP. Maybe in retrospect I should've bought them?

Nice score. Are the Sandeman's in the new bottle with the glass stopper?
Thanks, I decided 20% off already decent prices was worth loading up a bit. The first thing I noticed when I picked them up is the Sandemans are indeed in the new bottles. I did not notice a glass stopper as it will be a bit before I open one as it becomes the "house" Tawny. What I did notice was the flare at the bottom of the bottle making it very hard to put in my cellar's standard racks.

Edit: Yes indeed glass stoppers, neato.
I love the look and the new stopper, but agree not a fan of the flared bottom for most cellar racking.
