Which supermarket?

Morrison's - 1 bottle £12, 2 for £18 (25% discount) offer limited to 4 bottles per customer (i was thinking of buying a case until i read the small print, so take your extended family with you!)

Roquette E Cazes Xisto Douro 2004, $19.99 (Thanks Eric for the tip on the NJ store that has it)
Martinez LBV 2004 for $19.99 (Was hoping to get the 2003, too which they were supposed to have--was hoping to do a set with a Martinez VP or two plus the two LBVs.)

none this week, I've been a good boy. Well, ok, a 1/2 bottle of Graham's Sx Grapes doesn't really count does it?

A half case each of 1970 Taylor and Fonseca.

Tesco are selling half bottles of Croft Unfiltered LBV 2004 at £3.99 (half price) with and extra 5% off if you buy 6 or more.

To give you an idea of how good a QPR deal I think this is, I just bought 51 to add to the 36 I already have in the cellar from a similar deal last year - and I have drunk around 36 of these in the past 12 months

So in other words, you really didn't add your 51 new bottles to anything. 51+0=51 right?

No. I bought 72 last Christmas. Drunk 36. Bought another 51 this week, and now have 87

Now that makes far more sense. How many Derek points for that Port?

Points? What are points?

What I can tell you is that I enjoy this port more than any filtered LBV I have ever tasted.

Not real Port, but got some of the new cuvee of Ficklin's 20 year old tawny. They've also just released their version of a ruby reserve and it's quite nice.

I really liked the 2004 Taylors LBV, but sadly they are not importing it into the USA. We'll be getting the 2005 sometime soon instead.

Barely out of the shopping bag. Have not purchased port from a B&M in a while.

Dow Vintage 2003 1.5L - $96
Dow Colheita 1997 - $25

If more B&Ms had prices like that, we might shop them more.

Sandy,

I'd say you've done very well for yourself. What a great list both from purchases in the motherland and back here in the USA.

Great to see you posting here and very much appreciated.

It was great to meet you and Ruth and as importantly, so very pleased you both had such a fun time and with great photos for future memories.

You found a '77 Kopke!

I hope you like it, it's one of my favorites.

I finally decided to buy the Quarles Harris 2007 VP at Trader Joe's this week. $35, why not?
