Re: Hotel or Restaurant Price List of the Week

Bioma 2017 £3,000 a bottle from Portugal Vineyards. It is entirely up to Dirk whether he undertakes radical repricing but I will not be buying any. No other vintage of Bioma (16,15,13,11,9,8) is more than about £120. It's Bioma Vinha da Pisca, which is a different wine from Bioma Vinhas Velhas (whi...

Had the Pintas VP '14 twice and scored it 94 and 95 respectively (but I must confess I'm a great fan of Sandra's wines :D )

Re: 2019 Declarations

How odd... why does Quinta do Passadouro need a ® but Quinta do Noval does not? Makes me suspicious about what it really is. There is no need to be so suspicious Glenn: Passadouro already had the "registered trademark" when they were not owned by Quinta do Noval, so they just didn't chang...

Re: 2019 Declarations

. A 2019 Dow’s Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira is apparently being released this year with the Vesúvio. They say they are going to sell some cases with two bottles of the 2019, two of the 2009 and two of the 1999 which sounds quite fun but I bet is at a ridiculous price. That sounds about right. I'd b...

Re: Taylor’s Kingsman Edition Very Old Tawny

This looks really nice, but in classic Taylor fashion I expect it to be horribly overpriced for a 500ml bottle. Has anyone see a price yet? Yes, I have: both Vinho Grandes Escolhas and Vinho do Porto Vintage Blog say that the recommended price will be €2900.00 per bottle!! Today (until 23.59) you c...
