1870 Madiera Wine

[John Abbate]

I recently found 3 bottles of Madiera WIne, Vintage 1870, in the family wine cellar. The wine was bottled in Portugal. I would like to know the value of the wine or where I can find an expert with whom I can talk about the wine.

Who produced it?

Look up the Web site for Premium Port, an importer that handles Blandy's, Leacock's and a third Madeira whose name I cannot remember.

I tasted an 1870 Leacock's Madeira about a year ago -- splendid wine.
