I have a case (12 bottles) of Dow 1985 vintage port that I was given as a christening present, but it is wasted on me and so I am wanting to sell the whole case.
Location - Hereford, UK
Storage - In a garage
If anyone is interested or wants to know more just leave me a message.
Many thanks,
Jonny

Hello Jonny.
• Where are you? Or, a mite more usefully, in which country is the Port, and approximately where within that?
• Where has this christening present been stored? Have you had it since it was released?
• And have you read our
Standard advice to would-be vendors?
The team, in our [url=http://www.theportforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=8296]Standard advice to would-be vendors[/url], wrote:If you were given these bottles as a christening present, we advise that you hold them. When you are thirty or forty years old it will give you great pleasure to open with friends bottles you will have owned since you were a toddler. (Recall Alan Clark on Heseltine: ‟he had to buy all his furniture”. Your friends will have had to buy their own wine; yours came to you as a child.) Selling will net you small money; holding and drinking later can give you great pleasure.
Edit:
Farr Vintners have D85 at £450 per dozen.
