From the article:
With the launch of its Quinta de Vargellas 1958, Taylor’s was the first Port house to release a single Quinta Vintage Port
Er.. No

My database shows Dow Bomfim going back to 1944 and Graham Malvedos back to 1950. I also have a record of a Vargellas from 1952, but that may have been an informal bottling.

- How does one get invites to this type of event??

They have been producing Vargellas as a SQVP since the 1820's. Here is a link to some discussion on it with a reply from a family member of the Fladgate Partnership.
