A VP I've never owned before: 4 x 1990 Graham's Malvedos ... the price was insane, so I had no choice. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. [cheers.gif]

2 x 1964 Krohn Colheita Branco for $90 each. Great price for an excellent Port from my birth year.

I thought it was a "bargain" at $56 when the least expensive price I found on WS in the USA was $69.99. I really like the Port, so why not.

I almost bought a 2009 Taylor, but after tasting it's extreme tanin structure, I decided that it will not be ready to drink until 30 years after I am six feet under, so I passed. I did pick up 8 bottles of 1985 Dow's two weeks ago for a STEAL - $49.92 per bottle all in including tax.
Thanks Roy

One bottle of 1970 Noval VP. This should be interesting, one way or another.

1x Quinta do Noval 2003 VP
2x Quinta do Noval Colheita ... vintage to be revealed at a future date :D :yumyum:

These bottles had travel companions in the form of a couple of older bottles of Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet, '76 and '77, but those aren't Port, so they don't count in this thread.

Morgado Tawny, at Trader Joe's for about $7. My wife made a dish tonight that required a tawny port reduction.

6 x 2000 Quinta do Vesuvio VP with OWC. Got 4 of them (with the OWC) for $45 each and the other two for $50 each.

That 6-pack plugs a small hole in my cellar. I already have Vesuvio 6-packs from 1994, 1995, and 2005 and needed something in the middle.
