FS: NV Broadbent Madeira Terrantez Old Reserve

Post by Jim S. »

I have eight bottles of NV Broadbent Madeira Terrantez Old Reserve that I am interested in selling for $125 each.
I am happy to personally deliver anywhere in NYC (except Staten Island). Or you can pick it up from me in Manhattan. I will not ship.
Please send me a PM, if you interested in any number of bottles.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
As a non-New Yorker I have to ask....what's the issue with Staten Island?

Hi Andy,

Staten Island is annoying and costly to get to, and it is not in itself a food or wine destination (or on the way to one) for me.
I am already in Manhattan, and the other boroughs all provide excuses for me to visit.
If someone from Staten Island wanted to get a bottle from me, they'd certainly be welcome to pick it up in Manhattan.

Ah ok, thanks. Good to know.

It also requires taking a ferry to get there from Manhattan or a tunnel and then a long drive through NJ. Otherwise, a bridge to Brooklyn and a very expensive bridge from there to SI. I don't blame Jim one bit. I know 3 of the 5 boroughs better than I know Seattle today, yet I'd be quickly lost on the island of Staten and most of the Bronx.

Great wine, good price Jim ... in today's Madeira dollars.

Hey Roy-

Thanks for understanding, and giving a more complete explanation for excluding a Staten Island delivery. I thought about excluding the Bronx, but it is on my way upstate, I store a lot of wine at The Wine Cellarage (in the Bronx), and since my kids went to school in the Bronx, there is a soft spot in my heart for that "uncool" borough.
Also, thanks for recognizing that the Broadbent Terrantez is a good deal.

I've been to the Bronx a ton of times. 95% of the time it was to go to a NY Yankees game at the original stadium and then the updated one on the same grounds, almost always a bus and two trains to get there from my family's home in Bayside, Queens. Last time I was at the "House that Ruth Built" was in the early 1990s. I've never been to the new stadium.

Also, I used to date a gal who lived in Co-op City, when the Bronx was a less-than-safe place in the late-70s after I finally bought my first car in 1975 (1970 FIAT 124 Spider) and a dozen years after "it" replaced the old Freedomland, which my parents took me to as a young boy. The BX was quite the place, back in the day.

Anyway, fun reminiscence. Good luck with the sale; but why not just drink it up?

Wow! The 1970 FIAT 124 Spider was the car I lusted for in my latter teens.

I would drink those bottles, but I have many duplicates, and more than I can drink, even with friends and relatives, in a lifetime. This week, I shared a bottle of 1952 Welsh Brothers Jubilee Verdelho with the Thursday Brown Bag wine group. It was a fabulous bottle, enjoyed by all, after drinking a nice array of brown-bagged bottles (well, they were in decanters). Anyway, I'd rather drink oddball bottles, than the usual suspects, at this point.
