For The Love Of Port

Enjoy!

I just looked through the website and they were also offering 2004 Royal VP for $10. Is that a typo? http://www.warehousewinesandspirits.com ... port-2004/ Is this port even any good at all?

Could be the LBV. I have had the LBV and did not like it much. It improved some over the month+ that it took me to finish the bottle.

There are a couple of reviews of the Vintage on FTLOP, so it might actually be the VP that they are referring to... For $9.99 though, def worth checking it out!

Oh, just noticed that that's for a half bottle. Same price as Lamont Huxley quotes as having paid in his tasting notes.

Seems like they wont ship anywhere, and deliver only in Manhattan...

Yes, that could be an issue.

I looked earlier for a mention of it being 375 ml and just noticed it now. Duh. Still a crazy price if that's a VP.

I guess I'll have to check this shop out when I make it back to NYC eventually.

Bummer they don't ship, and to find out it was a 1/2 bottle

If that's the price for a 1/2, I'd call it overpriced. I've liked some Calem more than most people around here, but not at more than I've paid for 1994 Martinez ($32), Burmester ($34), Churchill's ($40), Delaforce ($35), Niepoort ($55), Crasto ($46), Romariz ($45), Rozes ($23), and Smith Woodhouse ($34.50, $46). It might taste o.k. against a couple of those, but not at that price.

The half-bottle is not the Calem VP but the 2004 Royal VP that Brian also noticed on their website.
The Calem is a regular 750 ml bottle.

Thanks for clarifying.

Calem has been the butt of many port jokes. If had to own any Calem, 1970 or 1994 would by my picks.

Got a bottle. There were a bunch of others on the shelf, all standing...

Will let u know how it shakes out. No timeline for drinking it as of yet.
