March Madness: The next Port Buying Op - details.

[Roy Hersh]

My pleasure, Jeff.


Mark, no, there will be no OWC's made available here in the USA.

[Bradley Bogdan]

Just curious Roy, will the labeling between the 40+ bottlings all be distinctive? Obviously the smaller bottle will define the one, but just curious how you guys navigated the labeling laws while still communicating the different blends.

As in the offer, my tasting note on the 60, clearly states how it will read on the label. The 100 will be distinctive too. 10-40 same as it ever was. Trust that there will be no confusion. This is from an IVDP and US TTB regulatory standpoint.

This morning is Sunday 5th April here in Europe.
I have just sent my order to Mourao.
Totally 36 bottles:
12 x 60 yrs, 6 x 40 yrs, 6 x 30 yrs
2 each of the three vintage ports
2 each of the 2002 / 2003 / 2004-Douro reds

Thanks again Roy and Miguel for putting all this together.

[Andy Velebil]

Well so much for cutting back on buying. Two cases later...

[Eric Ifune]

I did two cases as well.

[Sandy Becker]

Order placed. Cellar now full, wallet now empty.

[Glenn E.]

A case and a half for me. But OH BOY WHAT A CASE! The half is cellar defenders to protect the case!

I did get a bunch of 10/20 tawny's as I've got a bunch of the 30/40 already and just topped up on what I had of those. Also got a grip of the Douro wines as I've drunk some of what I already own so backfilled those and got a couple I didn't already have. Looks like I've got a few months until they arrive so I need to start making room in the cellar....anyone around the LA area

I managed both to keep my order to just one case.... and yet also to spend more than I had originally anticipated.

I think I'm going to regret in some way both aspects of my order! haha.

(well, maybe not the second part, though I do liken it to whipping off a bandaid.)


Can't wait for summer!
And Thanks again, Roy for all the diligence and hard work!

[Eric Menchen]

With a pretty full cellar I ordered just a case, a mix of 10, 20, 30, 40, "60," with emphasis on the 30 which I think is a great QPR and I've tasted multiple times before.

Yeah I picked up a pair each of 30 and 40 to replenish my supply. I was down to 3 of each in the cellar... that's running low on such great juice!

I didn't get as many as Rune, but the biggest chunk of my order is the 60. Crazy good Port at a really good price! Really put a dent in the old bank account, though!

[Eric Ifune]

I got a good mix as well. 10, 20, 30, 40, 60. Also toped up on the 30 and 40.

[Andy Velebil]

Got my confirmation email of my order last night. Got to give them kudos for working on Easter Sunday

[Gary Richardson]

Got my confirmation last night. Ordered a case: 2x100 year, 4x60 year, 6x40 year.

Thanks Roy!

[Roy Hersh]

Glad this is working out so well. Amazing how many orders came in on day 1 (or before). Record setting and it has all just begun.

Great idea! I'm in; just not 5/9 to 5/24 (Piemonte calling! ). And also not 6/26 to 7/6 (Paris/Burgundy calling! ). Oh yeah, and most importantly, not 7/16 to 7/21 (daughter's wedding!).
