Birth year wine ![]() ---------- Sometimes I read a thread and think we ran out of stuff to talk about like 4 years ago. ~spo Many people don’t know this, but it’s possible to read something you don’t agree with on the internet and simply move on with your life. – Michael Rock | ||

you picked a bad year because everyone is doing the same . steady rise in prices since last year (almost 200-300% in some cases) a little small house that I like is offley, european wine resource has it at 120$. Do us both a favor and don't post a note =) This is my sig -> www.brownteacup.com www.wsqwine.com (Wine distributor) | |||

I've only had the Warre and Taylor (Fladgate). Preferred the Taylor by a wide margin. | |||

Find a well stored bottle of the '63 Fonseca. An awesome bottle of port. You may find this at Benchmark Wines in Napa. IW Life without wine?...... Yeah Right.

I will definitely second this out of all the 63's the Dows is okay but spirity the grahams is a bit thin and sweet the warres is weird and has traces of VA the noval is living on a reputation of it's larger brother the nacional the fonseca though is worth the hype but needs some air time, but it's full and lush. the taylor reminds me of a fine bourbon aged for 50 years with the obvious sweetness. your taste buds can't go wrong, (but your wallet may cry a little) This is my sig -> www.brownteacup.com www.wsqwine.com (Wine distributor) | |||

Taylor Fladgate is the finest of the '63's I've have the opportunity to taste. Followed closely by Fonseca. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. | |||

I bought the Fonseca back in 2003 for $224 from a retailer who got a direct shipment from the winery. Currently selling in the US for anywhere from $340-550. VM | |||

Thanks everyone. I will see if I can find. My birthday is not until July, so I am not under a time crunch. Doesn't sound like prices are going to drop. I should have thought about this a few years ago. ![]() ---------- Sometimes I read a thread and think we ran out of stuff to talk about like 4 years ago. ~spo Many people don’t know this, but it’s possible to read something you don’t agree with on the internet and simply move on with your life. – Michael Rock | |||
