2021 Ferrari Carano Tre Terre Chardonnay

2021 Ferrari Carano Tre Terre Chardonnay....$27.99
Intricate oak spice aromas, a creamy texture and nicely layered fruit, butter and vanilla flavors make this wine a showstopper. Hinting at caramel, honey and macadamia nuts, the wine fills the mouth and lingers on the finish.

The Rare Wine Co. Thomas Jefferson Special Reserve Madeira

The Rare Wine Co. Thomas Jefferson Special Reserve Madeira...$69.99
Medium Dry
As an American, Thomas Jefferson had no peer in his appreciation of French wines.
But that seed wasn’t planted until he was in his forties, by which time he’d been passionate about Madeira for at least 20 years.  Born in 1743, Jefferson came of age at a time when Madeira was the king of wine in America—always present on affluent tables and ready to toast important events.
The wine itself is a spectacular fusion of elegance and depth, and youth and antiquity. The oldest component in the blend is more than 80 years old, a fact that Jefferson would undoubtedly have appreciated.  That recipe called for a blend of one-tenth “superfine Malmsey” with nine-tenths dry Madeira. Jefferson never lost his taste for what he came to call “silky Madeira.”  Decades later, he defined “silky” wines as having the taste of “dry wine dashed with a little sweetness, barely sensible to the palate: the silky Madeira we sometimes get in this country is made so by putting a small quantity of Malmsey into the dry Madeira.”

1995 D'Oliveira Tinta Negra Medium Dry Madeira...$199.99
A rich, robust style, with smoky notes to the flavors of dried tropical fruits and apple, enlivened by accents of citrus zest. Cedar and dried ginger details fill the powerfully structured finish. Still an adolescent, with a long future ahead. Very pure. Drink now

2001 D’Oliveira Boal Madeira....$169.99
Dense, succulent and sensual, this is a remarkable Bual Madeira with stacks of spice including toasted cumin and black pepper. Plenty of caramelized orange and dried date character, too. Packs a massive punch on the powerful palate and in the imposing finish. Drink or hold.
