Hello,

I'm looking to buy a couple of bottles of vintage port, ideally tomorrow. They are specific vintages I am after ('85 and '87) although I'm not too bothered about brand etc. as these are for gifts rather than for serious port lovers.

I live in central London so I am hoping it shouldn't be too hard to find somewhere with a decent selection but my Googling has so far drawn a blank.

Does anyone have any ideas of places to try?

Online is no good as I need them tomorrow if at all possible.

Thanks,

TMFD

+1 They're about the only place I know that will have those vintage bottles in stock. Maybe Fortnum and Mason just up the road is worth a try too.

You might struggle with the 87. Not generally a vintage year.
BBR list two for 1985 though.

Thanks, BBR was on my list to try and I'll pop to F&M whilst I'm there.

Any others? I didn't think it would be this hard.

BBR would be first choice, but Harrods may also be worth a try.

As predicted I struggled to find the '87 but managed to find an alternative.

BBR is a great shop.

Thanks for all the suggestions.
