I'm running low - if anyone has any suggestions on midweek drinkers available in the UK, do please post. I'm down to seriously low levels like under 20 bottles. OK, 25 at the outside.

Anyone playing the auction game at the lower end of the scale please let me know if you want to share the contents.

Nick. Speaking from the tail end of a fabulous Morgan 91 though not the whole bottle tonight...

"Top wine from this smaller estate. It's incredibly stylish, even as young as it is now. A lighter body featuring more liquid and less plum pudding should mean that it will be an easy drinker come maturity. With pure fruit, spice and lots of coffee already poking through, it has a fine future. Drink after 2010."

Secret Email Price: $25

I picked up 4 of these and even splurged the $0.85 to get insurance.

The '99 Roriz is my "benchmark Port" because it was one of the first few that I rated and I gave it an 89. (I picked up 4 earlier this year from WTSO.com.) So if a Port is going to get 90 or higher, it must impress me more than the '99 Roriz. And I like the '99 Roriz!

Was the 1994 Vesuvio from Bid For Wine? I've never used them before, are reputable?

Alex

Yes the one and the same - no-one else ended up bidding and I thought it was a good price given that it is becoming more and more difficult to get hold of. I have had a few bottles now off of bid for win - I use it in the same way as ebay so always look for feedback, I did have one that I think I was very lucky with as after I purchased he didn't end up fulfilling any of the auctions afterwards leaving people without wine and money, so you just need to be careful also look for auctions with paypal as a payment method less chance of it going wrong.

12 x Fonseca 2000 ib. Got it for under £400, given that it is ib though makes it an average deal.

Turned 40 this week and parents just presented me with 2 bottles of Noval 1970.

More than acceptable - probably enough to let them stay over...

[benread]

Very agreeable bottles! I surprised people with one of these a few months ago - was well received.

A case of Broadbent 10 year Madeira for $260

I came back from Spain and Portugal this week.

I had a fantastic tasting and lunch with Raul Alex from this board and Grahams one day in Oporto.

I didn't do much buying this year but I did find a couple of gems at my favorite wine store in Valenca. Most ports I find in Portugal are just wildly overpriced. I mean, 120 Euro for a 94 Vesuvio?

But there, nestled in the corner, were 3 1997 Noval half bottles for 30 Euro each. In the States at least this wine is much more than that. I've wanted a few of these in my cellar for some time.

Hope all is well with everyone here. Looking forward to cooler weather soon to drink some port!

It's been years since I drank that. Had several bottles and enjoyed them all very much. I don't know how much it is now, but 7-8 years ago it used to be 7 euros at the quinta.
