Yoda’s favourite Vintage Port, what is?

Talk about anything but keep it polite and reasonably clean.

I seem to remember seeing or drinking a Quinta del Rey in a galaxy far, far away but cannot find any TNs.

Can anyone else remember that?

Is "del" a Portuguese word in that context? I don't recognize it, but my Portuguese is pretty limited.

I can't find an example of it so you are probably correct.

We drank a Quinta do Rey 1960 at Tom's 50th birthday, although that was from The Sound of Music and not from Star Wars.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Well remembered, although it was Quinta do Rei, not Quinta do Rey. I am please that I wasn't just hallucinating.
