Picked up a case of 2007 Romaneira VP for $20/bottle. Couldn't pass it up at that price.

After that not much was left in the SE so I picked up some everyday ports, I had the opposite problem where a mis communication meant I ended up with slightly more than I planned...
6 Taylos LBV 2006
12 Noval LBV 2005
1 Grahams 10YO Tawny
6 Fonseca Guimaraens 2005
And at risk of being taken outside the city and stoned!
4 Bleasdale, The Wise One 10YO Tawny - if you are a WinSoc member there was low stock yesterday

Re: Latest buy
1 bottle Dows Quinta do Bomfim 2001
1 bottle Dows Crusted bottled 2004
Will pick up more when I am paid next week if still on offer, unless a certain Tesco store which presently has "temporarily out of stock" on space reserved for Croft 2004 unfiltered lbv restocks(cleared shelf of 10 bottles about a week ago), although suspect last Tesco store to stock this has finally run out.

Re: Latest buy
Whoo-hoo! I bought 6 bottles of Taylor 1992 today. That's a port which has been on my target list for a long time, doubly so since I got to try it for the first time early this year and was really impressed.
The only drawback was the ridiculous price it has been achieving...until today!
