No, it's not Calem. The shipper I'm looking for is just about as known as Calem (maybe even somewhat lesser than that) in The Netherlands. There also seems to still be an 1815 VP from this shipper on the market somewhere ...

It's not Andresen. The bottle is showing in the middle of the picture that goes with my name right with my reactions. Unfortunately nothing of the bottle label was left on that bottle, only the bottle capsule told of the shipper.

No the one i'm looking for.

RonnieRoots wrote:1945 Croft

Vintage is correct, shipper's wrong though.

This particular shipper's is not very well known in The Netherlands (little clue).

Glenn E. wrote:1945 Barros?

You've already got the vintage right, shipper's wrong though.

RonnieRoots wrote:Taylor 1948?

Wrong shipper, and as for the vintage: wrong year, but already the right decade!

ok here goes:

About 2,5 years ago, I got to taste the best and most special Vintage Port I ever had so far, from a family member's birthyear. Which port did I drink?

Nope

Nope.

But keep thinking in this direction.

Burmester 1994?

Kopke 1994?

I often use a glass for white wine. It's Weissweinkelch series VINO GRANDE from Spiegelau. http://www.amazon.de/Spiegelau-Wei%C3%9Fweinkelch-Vino-Grande/dp/B001IILG2O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1251804531&sr=1-1 I'd say this one looks like a pipe. http://www.amazon.com/Oenophilia-...

We had a great time with the folks of the TPF in NYC. As a producer, I'm really glad to see the passion for Port Wine all these guys showed. I'll probably go to the Netherlands some day in the first weeks of November. I hope I can meet there some more Port enthusiasts! Hi Oscar, Speaking for myself...

Question for the Dutch: did anyone see a futures offer from Henri Bloem already?

Nope, I haven't seen any Henry Bloem offers yet until now,

Hi Oscar, I'm interested in your vintage 2007. What are your current shipping prices to the Netherlands or Belgium for one case? Who will provide you pricing from DHL? (I work for DHL so can try to help) rgrds, Dries Dries, I'll send you a list of our prices, and if anyone is interested in knowing ...

Hi All, I am planning to buy some 2007 VP's and am currently looking at the pricing in Holland which appears to be very expensive. The Fonseca for example costs 472,50EUR for 6 bottles which to be fairly honest is too high for me. Yet I do want them :twisted: So, therefore I am wondering what the p...

I'm one of the lightweights too in this matter. I am probably good for about 10-12 bottles of port a year, so far. On one hand, because I have just started buying/collecting Vintage ports (with 2005 as the first vintage of which I bought quite a lot of), and these bottles need some more time to matu...

My 2007 VP orders (so far, combined with the ones that my father ordered) are: For me this is quite a lot of bottles VP of one vintage, given the prices and the fact that I'm not drinking VP on a daily basis. On the other hand, my youngest son was born in 2007, so as I am hoping to enjoy a lot of t...

I bought a Calem 2000 Vintage port, on an online auction, which I picked up on thursday 25th june (maybe thesame auction as Smisse?)

My 2007 VP orders (so far, combined with the ones that my father ordered) are: Dow's (case of 6) Fonseca (case of 6) Graham's (2 cases of 6) Kopke (2 cases of 6) Quarles Harris (case of 6) Smith Woodhouse (case of 6) Taylor's (case of 6) Warre (case of 6) For me this is quite a lot of bottles VP of ...

Hi everyone, I've been following many of the topics on the PortForum for some time now, and realized it would be nice to join you all port-enthousiasts. I'm a wine and port enthousiast for some years now (wine for about 18 years, port for about 4 years), and it 'll be great to sometimes share some o...
