For The Love Of Port

Clear case is the buying op you offer.

If it's something that can be readily available, then price is the most important factor.

But if you were to offer a say 1896 dow, the price wouldn't be the factor that made me blink.

Le Club Chasse et Pêche in montreal had a dow 85 by the glass for a very very reasonable 15$ / glass. Me and a lady sitting at the table besides mine were actaully drinking it with the meal. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and told me that the dow 85 was opened at 6 the night before (24 hours...

Actually that brings an interesting point, here in the states, alot of wineries in the states will take back their product and replace with the same exact no questions asked, do the port houses offer similar programs? oh and unless it's a tasting with like minded port tasters I would not say anythin...

Glenn E. wrote:#1 for me is easily price. I'm a bargain hunter. If the price is right, I'll buy any producer or any vintage.

here here, in a fair market society, if something trades below fair market, you buy it and worry later.

We have a full house of 12 people
with 4 people on the waitlist.

the cost of the ports appear to be 70-100$/person + the seperate cost of food

shoot me pm with your email so i can coordinate please

Jeff

Mike W. was clamoring for this =)

What: Dow Vintage Port, starting in 1960. [*]Acquired to date: 60, 63, 66, 70, 77, 80, 83, 85 [*]Seeking: 72, 75(?) [*]Acquired but doubtful if it's worth including: 94, 97, 00, 03, 07 We have 8 bottles not including the 90s and 00s What else do you suggest Moses? We could source the 50s, but I woul...

that's fine,

I think 12 people is a fair number so that everyone gets a taste and seconds across 12 bottles.

Going to aim for a different one.

Fantastic,

We have 10 people confirmed for this tasting.

Tasters include:
Moses +1,
Sandy +1,
Jay H.
Mike,

We are goign to aim for a steakhouse downtown, is that okay for everyone?

Hey Guys,

Would any one be interested in a Dow Vertical in NY on March 19th?

We have vintages from 1960 onwards, missing 1972, 1975, 1980 (which will be provided by glenn)

i'm not sure about repost links from other sites, so I'm posting queries directly here.
