For The Love Of Port

Anybody wanna trade my Graham 1977 magnums for Fonsecas?

At last, I can rid myself of my Fonseca White Port.

Hmmm, I guess I should have been more specific. I'll trade for Fonseca's Dom Prior and nothing else.

Is this the one that you won?

Well, we won three (Maartje two and I one). Before we tasted the wine at the BBR offline we had already traded one magnum for two regular bottles, because that would give us an extra opportunity to drink it. We want to keep one of the magnums, but since we not particularly impressed by the port at the offline (and Grahams isn't really the style I like best), we would like to trade one magnum for two bottles of another '77 (both Fonseca and Niepoort are on the wish list).

I'll be honest - I'd rather have two bottles of Fonseca 77 than a mag of Graham's as well. I was more impressed with older Graham's, whilst I've yet to have a duff Fonseca VP from any year. I have a 1980 which may give me the opportunity to change that.

Looking back at this particular thread and the response is fascinating. I wonder if people who are here or those whom have left, would still have the same opinions today?
