OK, all we are almost into the new month. Fred and I have PM'd each other and he thought about doing Madeira for the month of February...sounded good to me, as we have not done Madeira yet.
I know it can be a bit difficult to find the same type/year/etc. worldwide at local retailers. So anyone have any rec's on which bottling, producer, type, we should all try?
Or should it just be open to anything Madeira?

Grocery store/liquor mart madeira will probably not get many converts from those who are new to it. Might even be a disservice to the wine if it turns some people off. On the other hand, old vintage madeira can cost an arm and a leg and that could turn some people off as well.
I vote for any madeira, drinkers choice. The "everyday" madeira could be good if we don't end up with a three year Philips or something. My everyday madeira would be the Broadbent 10 year malvasia or the Broadbent Terrentez reserve (Broadbent Selections is in the bay area)
