Last up at the Food & Wine Society, New York, was this "off list" item. From 2005, the purpose was to demonstrate that decent Madeira doesn't have to break the bank. Clearly it's nothing compared to some of the grandees tasted earlier but it is lively, fresh, good depth, and enough complexity to make it interesting. Not bad, in a pinch.

Enjoyed since Thanksgiving. Acidity never relented with orange zest, light caramel & black tea notes. We now have no Madeira in the house. Something I will remedy & not let happen again.
