Half bottles of 1995 Fonseca Guimaraens vintage port for $35.75 available all over the province. I almost fell over when I saw them on the shelves. I look for 3 things in a vintage port:
-really good (1995 would have likely been a declared vintage if not for 91/92 and 94 declarations)
-fair price (price is lower than the lowest half bottle price on winesearcher)
-half bottles
Ports for sale in Ontario rarely check even one of those boxes, much less all three. Stock up! I did!!
(and there are 3 bottles left at Manulife that are going for $25!)
Oy vey. Now I have to buy some of these. You guys are killing me.
Champagne and Port. A starter and a finisher for dinners. Thanks for all the suggestions to my fellow LCBO comrads.
Thank you Bman! I picked up 4 today. Also happy that I got some of the 1991 in half bottles $21.95 USD a little while back. At the time I was unfamiliar with the Guimaraens but figured it was worth a go at the price.
