For The Love Of Port

Has there been any update on shipping from D'ouro Vino? Has anyone actually set up shipping or are the wines still not here?
I was hoping have my order shipped before it got too hot..but it looks like I'm out of luck.

I'm in for a Fonseca tasting (my favorite Port house) however it would be nice to do it right and the older bottles are hard to come by. I think the oldest bottle I have is from 1912 but we really should go back to 1896! ...unfortunately I've never seen one for sale and the 1927 is virtually impossi...

So instead of Boston, bring Your bottle to Denmark, and we will have a Party

And the winters in Denmark, Can be beautiful

My vote is for Fonseca in Denmark!

'85 is the best by far, but I'd rather drink the 1970 (one of my all time favorites) and wait on the 1985. The '85 Fonseca may turn out to be better than the 1948!

I've been lucky that every '63 Warre I've purchased has been very good from multiple sources over the years. I have a few cases where the bottles are packed in straw and they are excellent examples.

Here's a sneak peak of the lineup!

I've noticed that I have some serious gaps in my collection of a few Port houses, especially Smith Woodhouse and Niepoort. My collection of Smith Woodhouse consists of: 1. 1966 2. 1977 and my collection of Niepoort consists of: 1. 1900 Colheita 2. 1937 Colheita 3. 1940 Garrafeira 4. 1970 (vintage) 5...

I'm with Moses ..there's nothing better than a cigar with Madeira or Champagne! If I want to taste the Port that I'm drinking I drink first and light the cigar later, then drink whats left of the Port before switching to a Tawny or Maderia. I was drinking a '63 Graham the other day and lit a Partaga...

I think I'll be in NYC at that time so if you guys decide on a plan of action and you have room..I'm in!

Easily the 1795 Barbieto Terrantez courtesy of Eric! Only the second time I've had this but it was a powerhouse both times.

I'm more than likely available, probably +1 and I always bring cigars!

The two cases of 1985 Croft I used to own, either this Port is just not good or my two cases happened to not be good.

Old thread resurrected..
I'll play...

1. 1896 Dow
2. 1908 Graham
3. 1931 Noval
4. 1945 Taylor
5. 1948 Fonseca
6. 1955 Graham
7. 1963 Noval Nacional
8. 1963 Fonseca
9. 1966 Dow
10 1970 Fonseca

and probably 1985 Graham and Fonseca!

1948 Fonseca, 1955 Fonseca, 1963 Fonseca, 1966 Fonseca, 1970 Fonseca, 1970 Niepoort, 1963 Warre, and a 1863 Barbeito Bual Madeira.
Not bad for a Wednesday.

Very interesting story Paul, thanks for telling us! I had to open this particular bottle to "one up" a 1963 Quinta Do Noval Nacional that Roy had brought to my house. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but I had high hopes that it would live up to its reputation. I think it exceeded it, t...

The Dow 1980 is the best of the vintage although the 1980 Sandeman is very good, at least in magnum format!

That should keep you going over Thanksgiving, but what about Christmas drinking? [shok.gif] You're 100% correct, I've got to keep looking for more Port! I'll probably run out soon. I'm just worried that Sean, all buy himself, just drove up the price of Port in U.S. At least I know where to go if I ...
