Madeira - No. 1 Drink for Cigars

[TheRiddick]

Moses,

Ever had good quality Pedro Ximenez with cigars? I would agree that Madeira may be better a choice with cigars than many Portos, but I would also argue that a great PX is probably better still. Any thoughts?

There's a brand called Nobel or Noel that is good. For me, PX is actually too rich and can only get through a glass or so. It is an excellent choice for the real sippers, but I can not sip that slow

Most PX's will state how long they were aged or the Solera they are from; so use that and price as a gauge. I am not a big Sherry expert, but how many PX's are you going to find? Most on the shelf will have a review next to them.

One wine I would like to dig into that seems way under priced is Marsala wine. Been meaning to buy a bottle Florio Marsala, as it is a give away and sounds actually pretty good. Any one had it yet?

As much as I would rather have you all not drinking Madeira and raising the prices at auction, lol... I am glad you are able to find this hidden treasure of the wine world that is just so wonderful a pairing with cigars or just sitting around. It's been America's most beloved style of wine since Jamestown settlement, but in the last 50 years has beem looked over by the masses.
