Re: TN: 1964 Justino's Madeira Boal

Good timing on this - Christies sold 6 lots yesterday with the smallest being 72 bottles, another of 108 bottles then 4, yes FOUR lots of 120 bottles. I considered grabbing a lot to flip but with 660 bottles in the offing it looked to be a very long term investment. It was tempting at $25-30 a bottl...

Re: Regarding the future of the MadeiraWineGuide

Has anything been done to secure the content of MWG? I've found wayback is less reliable than one would hope - it seems to not crawl every page on many sites so it can miss content. It's on a blog platform so it seems like it would be relatively easy to move to a new host, alternatively can the site...

Hah, guess I'm not the only one who thought about this thread and how the Brexit vote could impact Maderia shopping.

Re: Premier Cru warning

FYI: I received notice & instructions for the US Bankruptcy court last week. Seeing as they have $70MM in liabilities and $7MM in assets I'm filing a claim with Amex. They immediately credited back one order when I filed the claim online but the smaller 1/3rd wouldn't work online, I had to call ...

Hopefully I'll get something.

Good point Glenn.

I tried a few things and it happens regardless of whether I try to log into the forums or FTLOP home and whether I use FF, Chrome or IE.

Re: New England Madeira Offline: New York - Connecticut - Massachusetts

Yes, and it's great. If I lived as close as you do I'd be there 2 times a month..at least. There's a small Turkish neighborhood over on Campbell Ave. I talked to Brad Kane today and we were talking Huet (Rare had an offering of ex-chateau 1961's, I bought 2 demi-secs) and I brought up the 1930's/194...

Re: I'm STILL human!

I've had this any number of times as well and my cache is not being cleared. I'm signed into, and stay signed into many sites.

The most frustrating part for me is that is that I use 1password and the 'do the math' thing totally screws it up every time.

Not on this bottle, Eric. The cork was mushy.
