Nice way to spend a Thursday morning. Today I was one of the lucky band of tasters who got to experience Blandy’s finest Madeiras back to 1811.
The wines were truly fabulous. As the tasting progressed it felt wrong to spit these vinous treasures. Here’s my film of the event.

This is the blog of wine journalist Jamie Goode, online since 2001. Feel free to nose around; your comments are welcomed.

You chose wisely! Wouldn’t spit wines like these. Hoping I can attend the ditto in Funchal later…
Jamie, you are one lucky man
Hi, there seems to be a problem with the video link on today’s post.
Is anyone else having problems with the video? It has been watched a fair few times. Are you on a mac, Duncan?
I’m on an iPad. Have not had any trouble viewing any of the other video posts.
Wonderful and informative. Thanks for posting!
Nope. Worked fine when I watched yesterday.
I’m jealous.
