Looking for 1982 VP

[Mike Kerr]

My sister is getting married next spring and her birth year is '82, so I'd like to present a bottle or two at their rehearsal dinner.

Haven't seen a lot of mention about this particular vintage, and only know of two off the top of my head that even declared it, those being Churchill and Quinta do Noval. If anyone has an '82 or knows where I may be able to track one down at an affordable price, I'd very much appreciate if you could let me know.

Also, any VP's or Colheitas in '72 or '75 may spark an interest as well!

Thanks in advance!

Mike.

Someone was selling the Churchill a while back for $39 in the US, but I don't see that listing on wine-searcher.com any more, just a listing for $70. Niepoort also made a 1982.
