Port for sale - California - 1963; 1970; 1985; 1994

Post by jlf301 »

Hello!

My stepmom gifted me a collection of port that belonged to her late husband. We would prefer to pass these along to someone who would appreciate them more than we can. They have been stored in a wine cellar until they were given to me about 2 months ago; since then they have been stored at about 62-66 degrees in my house. We are located in Santa Cruz, California, and could likely manage to get these to most places in state. The list is as follows:
- Grahams 1963
- Warre's 1970
- Croft 1970
- Fonseca 1963
- Warre's 1985
- Dow 1963
- Dow's 1994
- Fonseca 1985

Photos to follow and happy to send more to anyone interested. Please reach out if you might like to chat more about these. Thanks!

A very nice collection!
I'm sure we have some American members here that would love to get their hands on those.

Dow 63 looks very nice. Real shame about the level.

Neat spread - impressive restraint sticking to just one/two of some of the nicer bottlings ranging over 3 decades.

Two separate bottles of 1970 Warres?

Would you consider shipping to the east coast? I am in CT.
