If additional adoption is needed (I am bringing two currently if not mistaken) I can bring a third as well.

I am in for the dinner. Please let me know if glasses are needed or not as I will wash/steam sanitize them in advance if they are needed. G-man Dont think I can swing 2 meals in NYC as its a long time away from the family. Might be able to convince them to drive me into the city in the am and take t...

Sorry if I stepped on anyones toes, was trying to be helpful.
I am fine with whatever plans unfold.

I have tasting glasses (over 100 of them) which I can bring with me if need be. As for venue/time I am pretty much open. I would actually like to see an earlier start time as well as earlier finish time since it is on a Sunday. Anything I can do to assist please let me know.

Drank the 2011 Quevedo VP last night while in the company of the winemaker Claudia and her brother Oscar (director, sales/marketing if not mistaken) as well as the NY distributor and friend Jeff. On a personal note both Claudia and Oscar were very nice, very knowledgeable and make some delicious win...

I'll bring a bottle older than the oldest attendee attending.

daniel, @ the 20-30$ price range, I can spot some quevedo's if you're interested

Ditto-- thanks for helping and making the event more intriguing!

I emailed a list of 4-5 bottles from the 1970's all of them vintage ports. If need be a few of those bottles can be adopted as well.
Looking forward to the tasting.

Hi Ray I have just recently joined these forums and have been looking to make sure that Quinta de Colmaca is more readily available in the UK. The Quinta was acquired in 2000 by a small group of wine lovers, one of the shareholders is Claude Gaudin, wine maker from the Bordeaux region. the vineyard...

Am I the only one who uses the silly port glasses with the silly sipping straws built in to them? I recently grabbed a full size set of them (the small eggs sized sippers were to small) with a matching decanter (glasses are anatomically correct as well) and the sit in a decanter by their built in st...

I also have registered and placed a few bids. I have spoken with Mark via email for the past few days, very nice gentleman. In case you dont want to read of ask similiar questions here is what I found out: 18% buyers premium, not tax as long you don't live or ship within North Carolina. Shipping is ...

I will do my best to attend. I will know shortly after date/time/location is finalized if I can attend or not. I can bring up 120 tasting glasses, some vintage port as well as tongs if need be.

I may have been the culprit who bought out their inventory for the dow 2011 vp. I called and they said they were 4 bottles short fulfilling my order but I was getting a discount of 15% from my purchase price. 72.75 is pretty close to what I was paying on pre order and pretty far from the current ave...

I was able to secure some bottles earlier today via online website. Will call shop to confirm this is in fact the case.
