What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

[Jeff G.]

4 x 2007 Taylor Fladgate LBV @ $11.70 each. The grocery store near my wife's office was closing out all of their Port, and these were the only bottles left that were actually at a good price. (A very good price at that.)

Dear grocery store wine manager - $65 for Dow's 20-yr old Tawny Port is not a closeout price. Nor is $68 for a 500 ml Royal Oporto 20-yr old Tawny Port.

Given how outrageous all of the other prices were, I suspect that these Taylors were mislabeled. At least I solved their problem for them - they have none left now.

hehe might have been the new york taylor =)

No joke, that was a fantastic price! Congrats!

Given that the 20yr tawny is more of a sipping port and the lbv a drinking port, you might actually get a longer enjoyment time for your buck w the higher priced item than w the cheaper one!

I bought both at an area liquor store chain called Vingo (central New Jersey).

A few days later, side by side, I seem to prefer the mid-palate on the Andresen. It is richer than that of the Ferreira, perhaps due to the lower acidity.

Have you guys tasted this Andresen 20 yr?

Sandeman 20 y/o Tawny - had a hankering for a 20 and didn't want to go out to offsite storage to get something else.

12x Niepoort LBV 1997 (never had these before, I am very curious about this one! ), at an (I think) reasonable price of €15 a piece (@ auction);
8x 1970 VP from Amondio's (never heard from this producer. Anyone that has??)

Delivery today

Unfortunately, one box of 6 of the LBV had fallen whilst loading, and all 6 bottles were broken . So no 12 but only 6 bottles of the 1997 Niepoort LBV for me

That's horrible. But the good side is they were two six packs otherwise you may have lost them all.

Indeed. And you're quite right about the silver lining here (not loosing all the bottles) . And the auctionhouse that made the transportarrangement, already said that I'll get my money back from them (so I don't have to go through the hassle of getting it back from the transporter).
