The actual door of the cellar door had been smashed, and a collection of 100-year-old port stolen. However, the collection returned a week later. Each bottle had a unique and matching number, making the series too easy to identify as stolen.🍷 On occasion, it was my job to host VIPs for extended lunches and top-shelf tastings in the old family homestead – tough, I know, but I was dedicated to my job 😅.
