For example Lea and Sandeman are £25 more than Seckford for the Noval and also have a minimum order of 12 bottles. Is this common? I can’t really see what value the more expensive places can bring to the product to justify their higher cost!
I think it just goes to prove that you should do your homework before buying - but not all buying is about price. Some of the decision is about service and relationships, and the extra value that comes from those relationships.

Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
