In “A College Cellar”, in Wine & Food No. 2, Summer 1934, [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Gaselee_(diplomat)]Stephen Gaselee[/url] (Wine Steward of [url=http://www.magd.cam.ac.uk/]Magdalene College Cambridge[/url] from 1910 to 1920) wrote:In Port, we have a few interesting remnants of 1847, 1863, 1875, 1878, 1887, a couple of dozen of 1890 (Martinez), five or six dozen of 1896 and 1900, and still fifteen dozen of Dow 1908. We become more serious with forty-three dozen of 1920 (Warre, Croft, and Smith-Woodhouse), sixty dozen of 1922 Martinez, twenty dozen of 1924 (various shippers), and of 1927 twenty-four dozen of Cockburn, and thirty-six dozen each of Graham and Quinta de Merouço—the latter a private importation of my own, in which I naturally have great faith!
There is
Casas da Quinta de Merouço: have any TPFers any knowledge?
