Bonham Skinner September Auction.
Just a heads up. I was looking at Bonham Skinner's Sep. Wine Auction (5th - 17th). They have a ton of Madeira up for auction. Port? Not so much.

Was just looking through Mike... a couple bottles of the famed 1950 T Faja dos Padres up for grabs. Really tempting...

The price on those 2 bottles have certainly crept out of my price range. lolDaniel Fraley wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2024 7:00 am Was just looking through Mike... a couple bottles of the famed 1950 T Faja dos Padres up for grabs. Really tempting...

Wow! And I thought that the price I paid for my 1 bottle was high, but that was just over half of what this one sold for!Andreas Platt wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2024 9:31 am 2400 bucks, not bad...

Yeah I remember discussing the 1875 D'Oliveiras Malvasia Family Reserve with Roy back in the day. That was when it had reached $300 per bottle, which I (naively) thought was really expensive. He said he remembered buying it for $175!
By the time I got my act together and bought some, it was $840/bottle. And now it's $1500-ish.
