all this talk about jj buckley
I spy something odd

http://www.jjbuckley.com/1977-Guedes-Po ... 7~8453~750

Browsing through old notes on the WS forums, I came across this tasting note by StevieCage:

Well, I believe nobody like this Port: Loads of VA on the nose. Way too acidic flavours. NR.
I did not bother to take further notes, as I was 99% sure it was an infected 1985 Port. What a surprise: Guedes 1977 Vintage Port. Yuck!

OK, this is very relevant! I am about to send JJ BUckley monies for last night's auction and would have tacked on this '77. Thoughts? Shall I pursue it? There's space in the case.

[RonnieRoots]

Only if it was very cheap and you're in for an experiment.

I opted for the experiment.

[SushiNorth]

FYI - Gould Campbell 1980 -- $35
still some left at The Chicago Wine Company. For those who put in orders with me, orders have been fulfilled I picked up more than I planned, but it's for the best I think.
Update: Cases have arrived. A mistake may have been made in TBird's favor (TBD)

[ajfeather]

If you are a WS member in the UK and you don't already have a pile of Vesuvio boxes to admire the WS have an reasonable offer on a mixed 6 pack (1997/98/99/00/04/05) for GBP150.

Kopke Dry White Port NV ~ 11 @ $53

isnt this a 14$ bottle?

[jdaw1]

Benchmark Wine’s pricing can be a bit random (I have bought when on the cheaper side). Write to them telling them of the mis-price.

[SushiNorth]

Didn't Warre's 63 just go for 130 and Warres 85 just go for 47 at auction?

[jdaw1]

Sure. Auctions are cheaper than retail.

Kopke Dry White Port NV ~ 11 @ $53

isnt this a 14$ bottle?

Yes, I've been in email contact with them since last week when I first saw this on their website. They just sent me pics today and I pointed out this is their basic dry white and that is was a pricing mistake. I'm sure it will be corrected in the near future.

Kopke Colheita Port 1957 ~ 2 @ $363

Gads that seems high... though since I normally can't find it, I suppose I can't complain.

The last two of the 1957 Rocha that I purchased, though - one from my local QFC (Quality Food Center - a grocery store chain) - were $251 and $252. Is the Kopke really worth an extra $111 per bottle?

With 11 bottles left, looks like someone bit the bullet !

Yah, sometimes the prices over there seem very good. This was not such a time
Not that it matters. I mustn't buy more port!

[Andy Velebil]

Agree, Benchmark either has really good prices or IMHO prices that are higher than normal retail...so buy wisely there. I would be interested to find out how they come up with prices.

UPDATE: Got an email back from them today that stated they would be the first to be repriced when the time came. Kinda vauge IMO and seeing that no one has bought them so far (they originally only had 11 listed on their site, which is still the case) now would be a good time to reprice and try and sell them.
