For The Love Of Port

Hi there!
I am searching info about Borges Terrantez 1877 - would be most happy if anyone could help with facts about the wine's history, bottlings etc. And pictures!
Kind regards

Hi Joe, thank's for your letter. It's a great thing you do, introducing not only fine madeira to your friends but also fine food from a part of the world that many of us have mixed feelings for. I wish you all the best in search for more madeiras. After all it's an important part of the American his...

Hi Joe! Seems better now! Good that it is. Odd with the sediment... very much. Usually it's not. Please tell how it works '(what's a MMooroccan Feast???) Receiving a guest within one hour. Gastronomic evening with Foie Gras / Roederer Bdb 2000 and grilled filletts of duck / Liger-Belair Vosne Romané...

Ough... Seems a bit scary. Hope the wine opens up.
I will open one of my bottles within a few weeks (special occasion) and let you know, Joe.
Best to you

PS At a closer look, the labels on yours and mine btls are not quite identical. Mine are apparently older, shipped to England when yours was imported to the US, probably in the 80-s (?). The Duo Centenary Solera in the 1940-s and 1950-s was founded on the famous Cossart Gordon Bual 1845 solera, from...

Hi! Your wine is a solera, that's a blend, intially created to commemorate the Cossart duo centenary operation in 1945. That was a very fine solera then, with a good portion old wines in it. later, it has been replenished with too much younger wine (in my opinion), so one should go for older bottlin...

Dear Peter, thanks a lot for your response. Looking forward to hear from your search in the archives!
And I sure will publice tasting notes when it comes to that.

Lomelino 2.jpg Lomelino 1.jpg Hi everybody! I would dearly appreciate help in identifyinng some old Lomelino bottlings of madeira. The labels are deteriorated, just remnants left, but perhaps any of you has come across these (or similar) wines and can compare the labels with what's left on mine, th...
