Hi everyone. First of all - I can happily say there will be a new port wine book published soon - The Port•ologist just hit the 100% funding mark! Secondly - I have 3 bottles to offer. They are in good condition (no leakage). I have just these 3 bottels (in the UK) and they are happy to find a new o...

For those interested... So, signed up for further info about this, and got the Kickstarter pitch when it was released yesterday. Was going to order the book for a very reasonable £19, but decided against it when a £30 delivery charge was added. Shame. Hi - great news! We have our new pre-launch pag...

Hi all! Thanks for the input - much appreciated. Happy to see that we all can appraise the wines differently. Of course, as a seller we are looking for the sweet spot in price. Retail prices are not what we are looking for. If there are any buyers here - I am happy to discuss terms. Otherwise we wil...

$80 for a 1963 is not very flattering. No it's not. I think this wine is appraised quite good and the bottles are in great condition. I believe 250 EUR sound more like the right direction for a bottle of 60+ years of age. Hopefully they can be bought and enjoyed by the right buyer. :shock: I'm not ...

Storing conditions have been very good. Happy to discuss pricing/selling options

please DM so we can set things up. All the best! Ruud

Can you post pictures indicating levels within each bottle? What were their storage conditions? Here are all the pictures (10 bottles in total) including liquid levels. Storing conditions as following: 'The bottles were kept in my grandfathers wine cellar for probably 20 years then moved to my fath...

Yes - the owner is now getting those images (turns out there are 10 bottles found).
storing conditions will be mentioned here too - @slateshalehead I'll DM you once I have that info.

Cheers

Dear port lovers, today I have an offer from and for the US-market: 8 bottles of Douro wine shippers & growers association 1963 vintage port The bottels are in great condition (see images). I am curious to know if there are any members here that would like to get their hands on these bottels. If...

Hi - i am reaching out today as I was offered to sell 6 bottles of the Vintage port. The bottles are in great condition considering the age - but don't have any paper work attached. The wines are currently not offered any where online, so I was thinking this is a. great place to start. What do you t...

Hi NAC, first of all thanks for your interest. We got some tariffs that will be way more interesting in the next run of our kickstarter campaign. We hope that the import tariff war won't effect books aswel. So we hope to have you onboard still for the next attempt and then shipping rates will be muc...

For those interested – With traditional ports struggling to captivate a wide audience and younger wine enthusiasts lacking familiarity or interest in port wines, I wanted to find a way to make these wines more accessible and rejuvenate the community of port lovers. While I wasn’t the first to recogn...

Thats great info! thanks :) My kid is not even 2 yo so I'll be sipping it on another occasion then :) Looking forward to open it. Ps- did you need to use port thongs or was the cork perfectly fine? If you're looking for 1984 Ports in particular, keep an eye out for the Graham's Malvedos. It's quite...

Finally! I found a bottle of 1984 Vintage Port from Messias on Auction.
Hopefully I will be able to open it with my son when he is old enough and taste the harvest of 1984. Any one already had this vintage?

Hi Alex, let me know what they said

Hey whats up. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to serve 110 Port Wine Cocktails. I thought the winner of our 3 options would be the famous Portonic, but guess what? I also introduced a Espresso Mar-Tawny, and that was a winner! Not sure if you guys like to mix up your (lesser quality) port wines,...

I found that the 2022 Vasques de Carvalho Vintage Port is also being released.

FTR, I was born in 1931. And also in 1927.

Lol. I am from the unknown year of '84 myself. No luck there with the exception here and there.
But from what I remember, taylors 1970 was a good year to be born too.

Vesuvio '94 x 6 Delaforce '80 LBV x 1 Interesting buy - old LBV's. Do you find those very different then early LBV's from lets say 2007/2017? No I just got tired of giving birth year VP’s away as presents to friends (Ck 55 and 60, T60 & 70), which weren’t really appreciated, so I am building up...

No port wines, but wanting to see and taste the differences in wines from the douro.

I entered here under the name of Vinhodoporto, currently run by my old partner - Jasper.
I was the co-owner of www.vinhodoporto.nl from 2013-2016. I believe that account is now used by Jasper.

Ok, thats great. Ill have a try to open a new thread. Curious to get some of you guys opinion on the current marketing focus of port wine cocktails.

Thanks Alex and happy to become more active here than I was in the past 11 years lol.

I know this is offtopic here but do you guys ever discuss portwine cocktails?

Hi Guys, I've been active on the platform since 2013 under another name and wanted to re-introduce myself - Ruud Scholten - as a fellow portwine lover and enthusiast. As I previously ran a specialized port wine e-commerce company in The Netherlands, my love for port wine has never been anything less...
