Most would be hard pressed to sip Scotch for hours upon hours, but is easy with Madeira.
Not only that, but Madeira is America's wine.  The wine that was toasted at the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The wine Jefferson and Franklin couldn't get enough of... The wine that represents our independence as a nation.
It was only fairly recently (within 50 years) in the USA that Madeira and Sherry fell off as the most popular kinds of wine.
Madeira is one of the few alcoholic drinks where the drinker can actually afford something 100+ years old. How many have something in a bottle/barrell over 100 years old? |
Alright I am intrigued. My local Bevmo has the Broadbent 10 yr and Blandy's 10 yr. I think I will have to check it out. Thanks for the info!
