Relax peeps, a question and a questioner will present themselves when ready. I would think of one myself but I have some urgent foot dangling to attend to.

And so the thread quietly self-destructs in a logical paradox. If Derek is correct, then he isn’t correct. And if he isn’t, then he is.
It should have died here. What followed has been a mess. I am starting to think that JDAW should have locked the thread immediately after that post.

Should we have a poll?

I'll volunteer a question! What birth year port am I in the process of trying to buy 5 bottles of for $10 each from a reputable, knowledgable shop here in the states?

Hint 1: This Quinta still appears to make both table wine and port as they operate as a semi-independent entity (they're owned but still seem to operate on their own)

Hint 2: As far as I can tell, they don't produce VP anymore. They only have a 10 year tawny on offer at their online shop.

Hint 3: I was born in a not generally declared year in the '80s

Actually did just buy a bottle of this, but it wasn't quite that cheap, and it wasn't my birth year.

Getting warmer on the year, and correct first letter of the name (leading Quinta aside)

Even closer on the year, but not quite. Another hint, it is an LBV.

Not '86, also should have said not Morgado, but again, correct on the M, saving the leading Quinta part of the title
