Is anyone aware of a possibility to have a cheap subscription on WS in Europe?

I personally find the price difference with the US ridiculous (50$ vs 150$ annually) and rather spend that difference on port

Feel free to post a picture of the exciting neck tag. Without seeing the bottle described above, I assume it is the same tag as on the below link: http://verzamelen.marktplaats.nl/flessen-en-wijnen/336038506-wijn-vintage-port-1970-borges-irmao-goed-jaar.html?action=bidPlacedOkNewUser&bid_id=295...

Hi all,

Considering that this tasting is only 40kms from home, I would (depending on the exact date and if Joost still has place available) like to join as well.

Similar to Gerwin, my port stock is still rather small but depending on the theme, I might find something interesting

Just ordered 2 as well for 60,50EUR per bottle at http://www.tonovermars.nl before I have to pay the "german" prices

Hi Axel,

Looking at the above responses it seems I missed a great event due to my flu

I surely hope that 2008 will be declared as well and that I can join next time!

Gentleman, One of my strange habits is to buy domains and sell them with profit. Obviously this profit is then invested in port and other wine :) A while ago, I did some checks and found vintageport.info as available domain. I blocked it until I would figure out what to do with it. Now I realised th...

Fabelhaft is a very decent wine. In the Netherlands it is known as 'Gestolen Fiets' and it usually sells just under 10 euro a bottle. It is widely available (I believe all Henri Bloem stores have it in stock).

Thanks for this info Ronnie. I'll give it a try!

Hi all, Since the new year has started, it is time again to use my airmiles points and buy some nice wines :) Especially Lufthansa seems to have some nice offers. (http://www.worldshop.eu/worldshop/category/wscatalog/WorldShop_Vinothek_/pretty/Vinothek/detail.jsf) I noticed that they have a wine fro...

Dow's 1978

First year that I have the entire family over for X-mas dinner so I do hope they will not drink it entirely while I'm cooking/cleaning

Wikipedia wrote:Limbourg (Limburg in German and Dutch) is a medieval city located in the province of Liège, Wallonia, Belgium.

A foolish guess, I agree, as you are definitely not Walloon, but a city nonetheless.

Hello Steve and welcome to the forum! I'm also no expert but checked your bottle on http://www.wine-searcher.com and did find some results. The bottle seems to be worth between 300 and 500 EURO depanding on the condition. This website has some for sale: http://www.wyliefinewines.co.uk/wines/port1939...

OK. Finally

Let's check your historical and geographical knowledge:

In which town did I grew up?

1st hint: It is one of the former capitals of the so called "Low Countries".

Just bought 2 bottles of Courvoisier XO Imperial for 90GBP at Birmingham airport.
For anyone who is interested, they have about 6 left.

Julian, The famous restaurant "La Tour D'argent" seems to sell port under their own name. (http://www.tourdargent.com/) Surely there must be some nice port hiding in their cellars (contains +400000 bottles). They recently discovered a few bottles of Cognac from 1788 :shock: Did you try thi...

As long as it is no "grappa di brunello di Montalcino".

Depeche Mode - 30 years
