Nice collection of Port for sale

[Bryan H.]

Brad-- let me know what you ended up with if you want to split, and I'll see if it is something I'm interested in.

Love Eureka, btw.

That's not a phrase I hear often! You've been here? And will do.

I'm 2064...I bid a case of 1991 Dows

[David Co]

I am 2049 and between the 18% and shipping don't think I am going to find many deals here. I already have a petty decent size of vintage port from the 90's going forward in the celalr so i was looking to back fill from the 80'sand earlier but doubt I will grab any considerign the prices I was hoping to pay for them.
Good luck everyone!

[Glenn E.]

I'm 2011. I have 5 bids in currently, though only 1 is winning. I plan to re-visit shortly before the auction closes tomorrow night.

Just so it's all in one place:

2011 - Glenn E.
2033 - David Spriggs
2043 - Moses Botbol
2049 - David Co
2055 - Bradley Bogdan
2063 - Eric Menchen
2064 - John M.

[John M.]

2069 has come on board and bid a lot of stuff---prices jumped fast.

[Bradley Bogdan]

Yeah I'm not winning anything anymore. May pop back tomorrow to try and snatch some '95s if they're still cheap, but that's probably it.

Also, it might be worth folks looking for specific things to put in absentee bids for the live auction the day after this one as well, which includes a lot of port.

Yes, there is lots more there. You can also follow and bid live.

[David Spriggs]

I have bid live with Leland Little in the past and they move pretty fast. Just a warning.

Bradley--almost 20 years ago we spent a few days staying in Trinidad and went to Eureka for a dinner. Love the area.

Agreed. It wasn't much of an issue for me--the fast moving prices went above my range and above retail, for Bordeaux.

Competing with 2068. They've got the 1994s pretty well covered.

[Glenn E.]

Interestingly, the auction end has changed. Last week it computed out to tonight at 6:00 pm Pacific. Then when Daylight Savings Time went into effect it computed out to tonight at 7:00 pm Pacific. Clearly the server's clock wasn't moved forward.

Now it's back to 6:00 pm... ish. There's a 5-minute difference break between lots 1030 and 1031, with 1031+ ending at 6:05 pm Pacific. There's another 5-minute break between 1060 and 1061+. Very strange, and frankly a bit disturbing for an auction site. Though perhaps it's just every 30 lots?

Yeah, prices have rocketed up pretty much across the board. I still have a couple of bids that I'll put in right before the deadline, but at this point I'm really not expecting to get anything. We'll see.

[Glenn E.]

Looks like I got a 6-pack of V94 and a case of F85. Had to go to ~75% of retail on each to get them (including buyer's premium), but that's okay to me for those particular Ports.

Wouldn't go that high on the others I was looking at.

Wish I had the cash right now to have bid on the F94 and T94... last I saw those were around 50% of retail.

[Moses Botbol]

Won an OWC of '92 Vesuvio for $190 and some Burgundy. I bid on 35 lots... Looks like the auction house did the consigner pretty well. Good for him!

[Eric Menchen]

I got the 1997 Vesuvio.

Yeah, the 1994 Taylor and Fonseca were tempting for the price, but I already have a bit of those. The 1994 Dow looks like it ended up as even a better bargain around $47/bottle. The 1995 Taylor went for a reasonable price, but more than I was willing to spend; which is more a statement on cellar space and having a lot of 1990s. I would have bought it more for a daily drinker had it been less.

[David Spriggs]

I was outbid on everything. Brad -- you didn't fight for the 1998 Vesuvio??

[John M.]

I was outbid on everything. Brad -- you didn't fight for the 1998 Vesuvio??

Me too. But I was not willing to go too high either on anything.

Same which I'm happy about as I just got the bill for my new bicycle
