Sounds like we were in the same neighborhood today. Wish I'd known, i had a bottle of cheap QH 2000 LBV in my backpack and was searching for a place (and people) to drink it with. Wound up opening the Vino Verde at Kasumi Den (i am testing new places for the sake tasting hehe)

Rainha Santa 10Y tawny $28 (incl tax)

How can I know whether the LBV is or isn’t filtered (bottle says nothing). And does anyone have an opinion on Rainha Santa 1994 vintage port?

[Alex Bridgeman]

How can I know whether the LBV is or isn’t filtered (bottle says nothing). And does anyone have an opinion on Rainha Santa 1994 vintage port?

If the LBV says nothing, then it is filtered. Traditional / unfiltered LBVs note this fact on their label somewhere.

I know nothing about the Rainha Santa but am interested to learn more.

[RonnieRoots]

Barros LBVs are filtered (and not to write home about). All I know of Rainha Santa is that it's a common brand in Portugal, mainly for cheap rubies and tawnies. It is a producer that is hanging around in the lower tiers. That said: I never tasted anything from them, so would be most interested in seeing a TN.

link to a retailer, but they do hav ea bunch of very reasonable priced 60s and 77s in stock.

jdaw1 and I stopped by Warehouse Wine & Spirits today, its in NYC on Broadway, on the corner of Waverly (/Astor). They had some low prices on smaller houses and SQVPs. There is no case discount on port.

1997 Martinez $16**
1994 Offley $50
1995 Offley $26
1994 Rozes $40
1994 Calem $30
1996 Calem $30
2000 Calem $40
2000 Ferreira $30
2000 Rocha $49
1997 Qd Eira Veha $26*
1995 Qd Noval - Silval $26

* - we cleaned them out of EV, but they have more in the warehouse so call first. WS rated it 87.
** - The Martinez is discounted as they are trying to dump it quick (they wanted more EV, but got shipped the wrong thing). We don't know if its any good, but it's cheap and WS rated it 87.

We left y'all some bottles (except EV), but don't wait around on the Martinez.

[jdaw1]

Half-a-dozen Mz97s, packed in a wooden box, at $16 a bottle. That’s the cost of Mg91. How could I be wrong?

Both the F70s sold — I’ve asked for them, though somebody might have been faster.

[jdaw1]

Found some interesting things:

• $200 Warre 1968 Reserve Tawny, “aged 30 years in oak casks†. Presumably a colheita.
• $300 Niepoort 1934 colheita.
• $400 Niepoort 1938, “decanted in 1977†. Presumably a garrafeira. IVDP label AP 170770.

Comment welcomed.

(Edit: prices exclude NY sales tax which is just shy of 9%.)

[g-man]

the 34 neipoort would be a welcome addition to the old and odd tasting.
I'd be happy to split it?

• ’34 colheita or ’38 garrafeira?

• I already have four bottles in the US for the New York O&O (Barros ’47 and ’52, Hooper ’38 and ’42). Do you want one of the two bottles of the ’38 yourself?

I'd pick up the 34' colheita

1938 Moreira Colheita 140.38$

[Alex Bridgeman]

Found some interesting things:

• $200 Warre 1968 Reserve Tawny, “aged 30 years in oak casks†. Presumably a colheita.
• $300 Niepoort 1934 colheita.
• $400 Niepoort 1938, “decanted in 1977†. Presumably a garrafeira. IVDP label AP 170770.

Comment welcomed.

(Edit: prices exclude NY sales tax which is just shy of 9%.)

The 1968 Warre will be a colheita. Warre don't make much colheita style port, but I currently enjoy the occasional glass of 1988 which seems to be the most frequently encountered Warre colheita in London at the moment. However, the price of the 1968 is clearly pitched at the"affluent 40 year old birthday" market. Don't touch it at this price, would be my advice.

Niepoort 1934 colheita - not sure. Niepoort have a good reputation for their colheitas, 1934 was a good year for the grapes, the 1931 colheita was great last summer and the 1934 colheita has a very strong reputation - but it looks expensive to me...

Niepoort 1948 is certainly a Garrafeira style port. I've not tried it but would assume that it came with all the same style and reputation as their other Garrafeiras. Just a shame that it came from a vintage 70 years ago and is so expensive.

Personally, I would probably pass on (1) and (3) for the moment and be tempted to go back into the shop next year to make an offer if these bottles remain unsold. (2) would tempt me given the reputation this port has, but then I'd think of the vintage port I could buy with $300 instead and pass on this, as well.

Thank you. Solid advice. I’ll pass. And I’ll add name of shop: Pop the Cork Wines.

Vintage Port
1935 1 bt Cockburn, v/h/s, facsimile label, vintage on branded lead capsule 285 -
1935 1 bt Delaforce, b/n, facsimile label, vintage on branded lead capsule 260 -

I guess the first of these ’35s is known to the Cockburn Committee.
