Wow! Nice price on that!

Thanks. I'm thinking I should get more if it is still available at that price.

This week: 1997 Quinta do Noval. Glenn made me do it

And a 1994 Quinta do Crasto.

1991 Warre's VP ($115; open-bottle price in restaurant; likely about 2/3 of that to take out)

Opened and poured immediately. I left this in the restaurant for the "Gang of Port": anybody who knows that such a group exists can ask for a taste. A good way to extend interest in port to other patrons and staff. If there's any left on Wed., I'll get another glass to see how it's changed since Sunday.

This was one of the remaining bottles left from a sampler case of Warre's VP that the wine guy bought for the restaurant. I cherry-picked the '63, '66, and '83 to take home. I still have the '83. I wonder if there are any more of those cases out there. Make a nice vertical!

some old LBV's. I've had two bottles of a 1983 Croft filtered LBV before.

Yeah a wouldn't hold out hope of that white Port being any good to drink...but it's always cool to hang onto some of those old labels. I love the IVDP's display of old labels/bottles in Regua.

2 x 1937 Warre's Reserve Tawny

After the FTLOP 4th Anniversary party, I went back to my source and ordered their last two bottles. I just received my confirmation today, so hopefully they'll arrive early next week!

I had a moment of weakness, the pocket book ain't too happy but I am

2 - 1920 Constantino VP
2- 1924 Constantino VP
3- 1996 Noval Nacional's (hey at $180 a bottle on sale it was a steal that I couldn't pass up..sorry they are all gone now)
1- 1950 Croft VP

Only had the Noval, the rest I've never had yet, but the prices were relatively cheap so it was worth the flier on them.

WOW I'm so Jealous!!!!!!

On my side, motivated with the Magnum topic, I decided to boost that division by 2. I got tempted by Taylor's 97 and Fonseca's 2000. I'm not gonna say the price, I feal like feeding Bill Gates.

About $46. It would have been a little less if it hadn't been for that meddling Andy

Roy, where did you get the Ferreira?

Bryan H. · Post by **Bryan H.** » Sun Aug 09, 2009 9:47 pm

1970 Fonseca x2
1970 Taylor x1

Haven't had these before, so I am looking forward to it.

Hi,

this week, 10Y white from Quinta das Lamelas ( better than the Santa Eufemia 10y white) but I still love the Niepoort 10y white.

Cask sample from next Golden White 1963

Do let us know how this is when you drink it. Love the 1952, so I am curious how this one stacks up against it.

David Spriggs · Post by **David Spriggs** » Sun Aug 16, 2009 11:20 am

I scored at yesterday's auction at Bonham's:

6 x 1997 Quinta do Vesuvio
6 x 1998 Quinta do Vesuvio
6 x 2003 Quinta do Vesuvio

1 x 1992 Taylor
1 x 1994 Taylor
6 x 2000 Taylor
4 x 2003 Taylor

These nicely fill in some holes in my collection.
