San Francisco Wine Trading Company currently has the 1997 Osborne Vintage port available for $15.92 when purchased in a 6-pack ($19.95/btl in qty less than 6). Normally a $45-$50 btl of port. Note, this does not seem to appear on the web site, but it's still available if you call. I just spoke with them and they have a lot left. 1-800-681-Wine

I don't know if this was rated by Parker, but Tanzer called it an 83 and WS put it in the 85 - 88 range. TCK

Doesn't sound too good, to me (the ratings).

Yes, standard 750ml bottle. Wine Spectator, 87 Points, Feb. 2000: A young, pretty Port, with delicious berry and floral character. Medium-bodied and medium-sweet, with a firm tannin structure. Best after 2006. 3,300 cases made. (JS) Sounds like a good port for $16.
