East Providence, Rhode Island, thanks to Wine Searcher. There are none left now. These are very good for the price, but not for the current Broadbent price (>$200). According to Wine Searcher, Dorothy Lane Market in the Dayton, OH area has a bottle for $45, but I think that is the same out-of-date inventory as when I was there in April. I now have five nonvintage and seven vintage terrantez (since 1950). I need more.

6 x Blandy's 20 year Terrantez
1 x RWC Baltimore Rainwater

The terrantez came in a 6-bottle Blandy's case with out separaters between bottles. That is the first time I've seen that.

6 x Broadbent 10 Yr Malmsey @ 37

From amitywines.com. Really like the wine, storing up on it before they run out of the cheap pricing.

I have recently bought the following Madeiras:

1 x HM Borges 40 years Malvazia - 500th aniversary of Funchal
6 x HM Borges 1995 Boal
2 x Barbeito 20 years Malvazia Lote 12089
1 x H&H 10yr Sercial

I have bought the HM Borges 1995 Boal as a "cellar defender", after realizing in this forum all the sense it makes to have such wines which give a lot of pleasure and prevent us from depleting quickly those wines we see as more precious in our cellars!

I've been enjoying a relatively inexpensive bottling of Blandy's Madeira, the 'Duke of Clarence'. It's one of the very few Madeiras available in the Edmonton market.

3 x Blandy's 'Duke of Clarence' Rich/Doux

The man who told me so is working at Barbeitos. I think it is more expensive now because it has recived so much praise everywhere.

Haakon,

my man's sitting at Barbeitos, too. Well, lets don't split hairs about this issue - especially since I don't know if there is just "1" price...

On the other hand I think that juice is really great...had the chance to taste it before it got published. But then I have to say that I wouldn't pay more than EUR 100 for it; also told this the winery; of course they couldn't care less, but wanted to tell them anyways.

But 150+ for a 40 years is just 2 much 4 me - but again: this is very good stuff.
