Re: Regarding the future of the MadeiraWineGuide
Thank you all for your kind answers, your praise, your helpful comments, your feedback. It is so good to hear that the effort put into the MWG has been somewhat appreciated. It is way to early to say something definitive, but there is hope for a solution to keep the knowledge contained in the MWG al...

Regarding the future of the MadeiraWineGuide
Dear fellow Madeira wine lovers! Years ago I created the http://www.MadeiraWineGuide.com website to put some kind of a Madeira wine knowledge base on the web. My twin brother was kind enough to run this website from a server in his basement and it was later joined with the ForTheLoveOfPort-Forum. Ov...

Re: Bottles from the Kassab Collection > TNs?
Dear Allan, Having a day off I stopped looking in the internet and took to the "old-style" way of doing things, spending the afternoon with my Madeira library. Well, what can I say, I should have done that in the first place [dash1.gif] I finally found a TN in one of the Madeira books i ow...

Re: Bottles from the Kassab Collection > TNs?
Dear Alan, unfortunately my knowledge about any tasting notes of Kassab madeira wine remains the same after all these years: Zero. Obviously nobody ever opened one of these old treasures... Out of curiosity I searched again for a couple hours about any TNs, but there was nothing to be found, sorry. ...

Re: FFFeraz - quick question
Alex Liddell "Madeira" page 207 (1795 FFF tasting note) and Richard Mayson "Madeira" page 174 both say: FFF joined the MWC (MWA back then in 1937).

Need to recork your Madeira wine bottle?
I know, long time no post [foilhat.gif] But I found out something interesting for anyone who needs to have an old Madeira wine bottle recorked AND happens to fly over to Madera island. Obviously the Madeira Wine Company does recorking of old Madeira wines and asks 20 € per bottle. I do not know if t...

Would you give this a try if your doctor told you to quit on Madeira wine?

1795 Terrantez "common stock" MWA/MWC
Since I heard that we have an expert guest in the forums this week, I would like to post a rather exotic question to Dominic. I do understand that the knowledge about this specific wine might be minimal, but since I believe that I own a bottle this is a rare chance that is not to be missed :-) The q...

Re: A couple of Madeira truths I've learned
I strongly agree with everything you posted, Justin and would like to add something to #7: I usually let guests have a sip or two from any old Madeira that is opened anyway and the reactions range from plain disgust to absolute enthusiasm. However the few (one out of four or five, I would guess) tha...

Reidar, if I drowned tomorrow in a cask of 1802 Acciaioly, I'd die a very happy man.

Re: Ward McAllister: Society as I have found it
I loved this part, I wonder if any can still be found at auction? "The Widow" sounds intriguing, I'm guessing a very acidic Sercial! :lol: Most of these names came from the ships that transported the wine to the U.S., as an example "The Widow" was one of these ships. Still makes...

Ward McAllister: Society as I have found it
Finally... after almost a year of silence, here comes a new chapter to the MadeiraWineGuide. It might be interesting to Madeira wine lovers who want to know more about the specific American background of this wine. Enjoy the read!
