Question
I have a bottle of Ferreirinha. On the label it says: Comp'.Agr.e Com.dosVINHOSdoPorto. Successora de Dona Antonia A. Ferreira. On the top of bottle it says: Duque De Braganca, Vinho Do Porto EX 016589 Sello De Garanita. Can you please tell me what you think this bottle is worth?

Answer
Hi Nicole

I think this must say something else on the label as well.  This is the table wine division of the house of Ferreira, which is one of the most historic Port Houses in the Douro.  They make a wide range of good table wines, from relatively inexpensive ones to the magnificent Barca Velha which sells for very high prices.  If you can tell me the exact words on the label, I can fine tune my answer a bit.

Here's a link to the company's website.  Be sure to read the story of Dona Antonia---one of the great characters in the history of wine!
