Random B&M stop yielded 2 cellar defenders at good price...

2 x 2002 Warre's LBV

The store also had a Passadouro Ruby Reserve and a Calem Ruby Reserve---never seen those before. I passed but still piqued my interest.

I finally broke down and ordered 12 x 1980 Gould Campbell from JJ Buckley for $60 each. Great price for an excellent Port!

Amusingly, the link still says that have 24+ bottles available. I guess that was a pretty big + to start out!

Picked up some bottles of Pocas 2011 Vintage Port for $29.95 locally. Normally wouldn't buy such a young port, but I heard good things on Pocas and I am sucker for sale. [yahoo.gif]

3x 1922 Martinez VP - These are a total gamble
2x 1955 Cockburn VP - Much less a gamble, as I recently opened one and thought it was quite good. I believe these are from the same source. Oops, no, I checked my notes and that is not the case. D'oh! Well, I'm still more optimistic than the above.
3x 1994 Niepoort Petre's VP - Discussed a little here, I decided it would be worthwhile to put one in a 1994 horizontal some day, and I'll probably taste one of the bottles when they arrive in the fall.

I'm in Andalucia right now. Found the 2013 Dalva LBV for $7.99 at the Navy Exchange. No taxes either. Bought a couple to enjoy in the Andalucian sunshine. If I could get them back home, I'd buy the lot. [cheers.gif]

Andresen 10 Year Old White Port.

Went in for something else (Dalva LBV, which they were out of) and saw this. Came in a cannister, but the "White" part very muted and I did not know was a white until I picked it up. Only one they had or I would have gotten several.

2011 Graham's VP, double magnum
The price seemed too good to pass up, but now I'm thinking, "When am I going to open that?"
