Re: Tastes, Scarcity, Quality, Budgeting...Go!

I was fortunate enough to grab a bottle of the 1912 last year, it definitely lives up to the expectations... I popped, poured, tasted, closed my eyes, and literally saw sparks on the backs of my eyelids, then went a little weak-kneed. It got even better over the following months... Very curious to t...

Re: A few questions re. old Madeira

Hi Jon, I'll take a stab at answering this... I'm relatively new as well, but I've reached some obsessive compulsive levels researching anything madeira. If anyone wants to correct me, I won't be hurt! On to your questions... Does Madeira develop/change at all when in demijohns? "While a vintag...

RWC Ben Franklin Special Reserve Boal

Hi All, gauging the interest again of a hard to find RWC bottling. Cost at retail is $89 with tax, I'm willing to be a wine mule for $135 each (not including shipping)! Minimum 2 bottle order. I'll have to check the stock, but I don't think there's more than 4 bottles for the taking. PM me with any ...

Proper Pronunciation?

Hi All, I was hoping the FTLOP community could assist me here... I would love to know the correct pronunciation of the noble grape varieties. I've asked around but thus far no definitive answer. I'm spreading the word daily about Madeira, it'd be great to sound educated! Here's what I've gathered so...

Re: The best wine carrier for bringing bottles on planes

Love this, definitely getting one. I traveled with wine recently (Italy), it was quite an ordeal at check-in... lot's of caution tape, hand wringing, etc. This will be perfect for my first trip to MADEIRA

Mark L has one speeding his way as I type... Eric was promised two, but now I'm wondering if I jumped too quickly to sell! :oops:

RWC New Orleans Reserve Terrantez, 2007 bottling

Hi All, I wanted to gauge interest and take offers for this wine. I have several units from the original 2007, more heavy terrantez release. The blend is not transparent, but from what I've read it was roughly 25% early 70's terrantez from Barbeito, vintage sercial and old tinta negra mole. Thanks!
