Port Vintages, Second Edition
Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
A different link sent to me earlier from tracking.controlport.co.uk seems to indicate that there has been no progress on my order since the original email was received last March. But since I cannot log into Academie du Vin Library I cannot check it from there.

Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
FWIW I was in the same position when people first started receiving their books; I was able to log on to check, and status was still the same from March. Then the next day I received notification it was being sent, and received it the day after. Hopefully you're in the queue still.Glenn E. wrote: ↑23:35 Wed 12 Oct 2022 A different link sent to me earlier from tracking.controlport.co.uk seems to indicate that there has been no progress on my order since the original email was received last March.

It has arrived! And it is....glorious.
Thank you, Julian.

I'm still blocked by the website, so today I sent a "Contact Us" message to the site in order to try to get my access restored. Still no word on my copy of Port Vintages.

Woot! My book has been dispatched! FedEx International Priority, so it should arrive this week.

Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
Mine still have not arrived. Nor have I gotten a shipping notification.
Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
Port Vintages now takes up a considerable amount of space on my book shelf: Edition 0, 2 x Edition 1, 1 x Edition 1 Deluxe and 1 x Edition 2. I need to start thinking about what to throw out in preparation for the arrival of Edition 3

Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
That is very cruel. I only know of two missing wines which the author has drunk recently. Not enough to justify a third edition.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
The warehouse of the Académie du Vin Library is having an IT disaster, and re-sending many emails.
Please disregard that email. Our fulfillment partner is updating our ecommerce channel integration and it appears there was a slight oversight on their behalf. The system re-sent notifications to customers on orders already processed in the past. I can reassure you that these orders will not be processed again and the glitch has been fixed immediately.

Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
Thank you for letting us know. I simply couldn't recall having ordered anything from them since and I was racking my brains. After much anguish and prayer I had reached the conclusion that I should simply wait and see what turned up...

Ditto - I guess most/all of us! I decided not to click on the link to see what it was just in case their database had been compromised.winesecretary wrote: ↑09:11 Wed 26 Apr 2023 Thank you for letting us know.

Re: Port Vintages, Second Edition
Something similar happened with the 1st Edition for me, so I just ignored it this time around.
