Vale Meao will declare a 2007 as well.

Can I suggest that we add the IB release prices (retail prices) as they become known - it would make an interesting archive to compare against future auction prices.

Good idea.

So, with all the information on FTLOP the following can also be added to the list:

- Graham
- Warre
- Dow
- Martinez
- Quinta do Vesuvio
- Gould Campbell
- Quarles Harris
- Smith Woodhouse
- Quinta do Vale d. Maria
- Quinta de Roriz
- Quinta do Crasto

Passadouro and Pintas. Andresen. Pocas Jr. and Pousada. LaRosa. Quevedo.

Look out for Passadouro - good stuff!

I spoke to many producers the last couple of days and found none of them who will not produce a VP 07. The only one who was unsure was Dona Matilde.

Axel

List updated to this point. Keep em coming

Sandeman, Offley and Ferreira.

Axel

Cockburn and Canais, Messias and Cachao.

Axel

Sogevinus has declared all their leading brands: Kopke, Burmester, Calem, Barros.

Axel

Churchill - in Johnny Churchill's blog

Request to thread author - could you put the list on the first post into alphabetical order please?

List updated to this point. Keep ’em coming.

here we are, just twiddling our thumbs til thursday...

Ramos Pinto and Ervamoira, too

Axel

FYI when I spoke to the importers of Romaneira at the Lords Potrugal tasting last month they indicated that 2007 would be declared. According to Tanners the importer is no moer and I have not been able to confirm whether it actually was (the Romaneira web site appears to be oriented to tourist).

To the best of my knowledge based on what key individuals at these firms have said, these producers are not going to declare 2007.

Krohn
Quinta do Cotto/Champalimaud
Casal Jordoes
C. da Silva
Borges - still under consideration

List updated to this point and I have quoted Roy's post above in the header post to keep declarations and known non-declarations together.

I will try to find out about Romaniera through another route

are we going to keep track of 2007 price declarations too?

As soon as they start declaring prices we will be all over them like a rash

Romaneira will ... but hasn't yet.


Vasconcellos - confirmed just now that they won't declare 2007.

Roy Hersh wrote:Romaneira will ... but hasn't yet.

I had this confirmed by another very reliable source this afternoon.

Although unconfirmed I was told that I would get a strong support from Noval for my german VP tasting next year. I guess that should mean something, but nothing official yet.
