For The Love Of Port

I'm interested in the Port trip, but would be even MORE interested in the Madeira journey (or how about both?). I would just need cost details on both.

Much thanks to all of you for the feedback, I'll give some of these a try.

Gracie!

I'm wondering which 'every day' Madeira you enjoy most? I've had the Henriques 5 in the house, but it's very hard to find. I did try the Blandy 15, but don't think it compares to the Henriques (15).

I'll be visiting Funchal in a couple of weeks, and would appreciate input on which Madeira wine(s) you think I should be on the lookout for. I plan on shopping at Diogos Wine Shop (bought four 1900 Barbeito Malvasias there the last time I visited), they seemed to have the best prices the last time I...
