Madeira Wines Are Too Often Underrated Or Overlooked
In early US history Madeira reigned supreme as the drink of choice among the colonial gentlemen and was huge elsewhere in the world including with Russian Czars. The intensity and complexity of flavor is unique as well as the process by which it is made. And in modern times Robert Parker's top scores have included many madeiras. Yet few drink madeira these days. It gets a tiny section in wine stores and you're lucky to find more than 3 or 4 brands or variations of it. It is underrated and overlooked.

OK....maybe I should just learn more about wines specifically before I try and give an opinion, lol.

Only one fact I do know about wine which I can speak with any knowledge on is the red ones have some sort of a antioxidant in them which is a health benefit. Cardiovascular benefit, a polyphenol I believe it was. Something like that.

Wine is in general way overly-rated, so I have too agree, again.
