What Port(s) have you purchased this week?

[Daniel Jewesbury]

2011 Quinta de la Rosa x6, arrived today and going in the cellar this evening. To be forgotten about.

[Glenn E.]

We'll see if it actually happens, but I just ordered 4 x 2011 Graham's Stone Terraces. I was a little surprised to a) find it offered online, and b) be allowed to order 4.

This brings my total (ordered, not yet possessed) up to 7 bottles.

They're popping up here and there, as is the Capela and Taylors VVV. I've heard from some people in the retail side of a little bit of customer who cancelled orders or certain upper end VP's not selling as well as initially expected. Which isn't a surprise as I'm sure for most people it's hard to justify spending 2+ times the amount of a regular VP for the "super VP's". Now us Port-nerds, that's a different story altogether.

[Roy Hersh]

I think the efforts of some producers trying to compete with Noval Nacional by creating new products to appeal to consumers (the old vine and terroir specific driven offerings) is going to be interesting to see if this can be sustained at the current asking prices.

[Eric Menchen]

I'm a Port-nerd and I haven't bitten for any of the new higher priced offerings except for a VVV when I found it for a steal. I'd just rather have more regular VP to drink than pay what they are asking. Maybe after I have some more tastes or as my cellar fills out I'll change my tune. (Oh, but I have bought some Nacionals.)

A case of 2007 Quinta do Crasto LBV to be shared with port friends.

I now have a 1998, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. As a rule, love their LBVs. I managed to get about eight additional 2006s in Penna this summer where they were on close out for $12.00 each (+ tax) which I thought was a steal.

[Glenn E.]

4 x 2011 Quinta do Vesuvio Capela for $120 each, and they're sending me the OWC also. Lots cheaper than those GST I just ordered from the same place!

6- 1995 Quinta do Tedo VP
1- 1994 Quinta do Crasto VP
2- 1992 Quinta d. Cavadinha SQVP

Needed some more "daily" drinkers for the house and most of these fit that bill perfectly....almost mature and in a great spot at the moment.

Traded a few douro wines to a friend who wants to discover the region's dry wines.
