The next FTLOP "buyer's opPORTunity"

Post by Roy Hersh »

Prices still need to be negotiated, but we've agreed in principle to the 10+ wines that will be part of this offering. Another great one, seriously. Will include: VPs, Colheita (deep!), DOC red wine etc. Just trying to figure out the best timing. Could be June or July for the actual release. I am particularly pleased with the broad swath of Ports. Pricing should be rather stellar too. [friends.gif]

Looks like it will be in time for the newsletter issue that follows the next one to be released. So far more likely late July for the offering. They will hold for shipping until cooler weather unless you want to take a chance on shipping. Price should be complete within 2 weeks.

Really impressive list, to say the least.

Intriguing :)
Will this one be US-only, or available to others too?

Depending on timing, it might be possible for a small quantity to reach Seattle in time to be re-packed into an 8-bottle wine suitcase for travel to London prior to the Port Harvest Tour. :wink: Though one slot in that suitcase is already reserved.

I resolved this year to only buy 2011 VPs and replacement bottles. I think I'm about +6 in opening more than I've replaced. Time to drink up some more replacers so I can buy FTLOP replacees.

There will be a 2011 ... possibly two, in this offering for sure.
