1982 Barbeito

Hello All! My twin brother and I are turning 30 next month and I was looking at the 1982 Barbeito Boal for a nice gift. Any opinions on this or anything else dated in 82 (if there are others)? I could just do a nice 30 year of something else, but I liked the idea of having 1982 on the bottle and the...

Great to be here.

Best Madeira Buying Sites

What are the best sites for buying Madeira? Anywhere out there have great selections and deals online?

First Post! I just picked up a small collection of 2003 Vintage bottles. Question about the important of storage. I know you need to store properly, but obviously I bought these bottles from stores that keep them upright in full light. How much of an effect will this have on the wine? Is it even wor...
