For The Love Of Port

Ended up getting

18 x 2004 Grande Reserva
5 x 20 Yr Tawny
4 x 30 Yr Tawny
2 x 40 Yr Tawny
1 x 60 Yr tawny

Shifted things around considerably after learning that packaging+shipping+insurance would come to ~$100/15 bottle case.

V exciting. Thank you Roy for putting it together!

Fairly unlikely that i be able to make it but pls keep me posted

Got 12!
V exciting way to start the morning, rushing to WTSO in hopes of still finding it!

Yes, that was a great deal.

That was a crazy low price. If it ever comes back buy all you can.

That sure was a good purchase in hindsight!

And there was a 3rd lot that got no love. :))

May it go up further w the strong USD/EUR!

1974 Kopke Colheita - bought at the last buyers op.

Sooo good. Really loved it. Wishing I had bought more than the 6 I got...

8 x 1983 Graham VP (half-bottles) @ $30/per on WineBid (premium included)

1980 Gould Campbell VP - v nice after about a day in decanter. Still some fruit left, far younger in appearance and taste than I expected. 90

Could have bought a bunch of G77 a couple of years back at $60-65, getting some now for $80. Still young in my history of pursuing Port, nothing quite as dramatic as Glenn or David's examples. Other regret was buying "too much" when I clearly knew too little about my own taste. Will now be...
