200-year-old beer salvaged

There's a bottle of 200 year old Madeira being auctioned this month. It was taken from shipwreck off of Georgia in the 1970's. One bottle has been opened and was in perfect condition. Auction estimates are around $1200 which is a good price actually.

I love Madeira! I got to smell a 175 year old madeira once; it was awesome. My favorite label is Rainwater madeira. Actually, it's my favorite beverage with a smoke.

You got to step up to a 5 or 10 year Madeira! Broadbent 5 or 10 are best buy's, as is Blandy's Alvada.

I have had Madeira back to 1795 Terrantez, and I know what you mean by the smell; just divine!

I'm in N. Weymouth, where would you recommend I find some? Blanchards?

Atlas, Kappy's, or Blanchards would be good start. Both Madeiras are quite popular for their price ranges.
