Two more 1999 SW LBV's. Love this bottling!

So those aren't common. Where did you find them, if you don't mind telling?

I obtained 1927 Cockburn from a wine broker here in the States & I directly imported the Niepoorts from Europe. Unfortunately Niepoort garraferias are really tough to find here in the States and I needed a few additional vintages to fill out the lineup for an upcoming tasting I'm putting together.

2 x 2006 Kopke LBV. Not nearly as exciting as Mark J's recent acquisitions, but not something that I have seen before.

Picked up a Quarles Harris 10 Year Old Tawny Port this afternoon at Trader Joes. It's 98 degrees outside and I needed a tawny to toss in the fridge to chill down for later.

1983 Ferreira Vintage Port - single quinta... Ferreira seems to nail their single quinta bottles better than most IMO (compared to their regular vintage bottles).
