De Nederlandse Wijnkoperij, of Amsterdam, Nijmegen, and 's-Hertogenbosch, in July 1962, lists “Porto Andresen Vintage 1945” at ƒ7,20 in the “Handel” column (≈ wholesale) and ƒ9,25 in “Part.” (= ‘Particulier’ ≈ retail).

Ian’s question.

Wholesale - Retail is not quite the same as Case - Individual. Not that I want to be question master again!

I don't disagree but the QM is always right!

Ok, I was looking forward last weekend to opening a bottle of VP (having gone Port-less for a couple of weeks) only to find much to my chagrin, that the bottle was riddled with TCA/VA (I never know which one-the 'woody' one). What was the offending bottle (which I will also put into the 'name and shame' on the Forum once revealed)? [clue-it's not D77!].

Niepoort 1997?

[Doggett]

As you have been portless for a while, I am going to guess you opened a good vintage... a 1970 perhaps, and that it was an... Offley 70?

Fonseca 1977.
A marvellous port, hence the disappointment all the greater.

Smith Woodhouse 83?

Impressive going Charles, yes- I had thought it would last a little longer than that. I will now have to be abstemious until Thursday's tasting.

[Old Bridge]

Smith Woodhouse 83?

That was the correct answer, and the world is awaiting your next question.

[CPR 1]

I opened a bottle of port last night what is it?

To help it is a vintage I know well, but it is the first bottle from this producer I have ever opened.
