(/thread-2281.html) |
- bailey2002 - 04-03-2002 My father found a bottle of Madeira wine in perfect condition, it's sealed and dry. The wine vintage is 1890 It was produced by Justino Henreques Filbos from the Island of Madeira. Could this be worth anything? Thanks! - winoweenie - 04-04-2002 Hi Bailey 2002 and welcome to the board. Please insert in your post everything that's on the label. Should have things like Sercial,or Gordon Bual, or Muscatel etc. I personally haven't heard of this producer but Maderias' are one the longest lived of all wines. WW - bailey2002 - 04-04-2002 Thanks for responding! I will get all the info and post it! Thanks again! - bailey2002 - 04-04-2002 Here is what the label says... Iustions Boal Med-Sweet Product of the Island of Madeira, Portugal Alcoholic strength by volume 19% Origion 1870 Imported by Geeting & Fromm Inc. Chicago, IL permit # 9-01-58 Panama Pacific International Exposition Universelle de Paris Exposition Does any of this help? Thanks again! - winoweenie - 04-04-2002 OK b2002. Again, don't know this importer, but would guess this bottle to be in the 250-275 range. You mite try calling Tinamou Wine Co at 800 388-6390. They are knowledgable in this area. - Kcwhippet - 04-04-2002 It looks like the bottle's from 1958, not 1870, so I would think it's worth a bit less than $250. - winoweenie - 04-04-2002 No KC this is the date the importers permit # was issued. If the label says 1870 (and the sucker 'aint no counterfit) the bugger is authentic. Call Tinamu bubber!.
