NYC: Any interest in a Madeira dinner? June/July 23

I am quite a novice when it comes to Madeira and I am excited!

I am bringing Rare’s Thomas Jefferson Special Reserve.

Going with a 66 Sercial from Blandys.

are you bringing a Durand? I forgot to pack mine today, might be useful for these older ones. Not sure if the place has one?

Oof. I don’t own one. I doubt balvanera has one.

Does anyone have. a Durand , Monopol or Ah-So they can bring? I will dm everyone.

If I haven’t heard by 4pm I will go on a mission at 4pm to get one, but it may be unuccessful.

We have a winner: Thankyou david_lazer , for bringing your durand.

I have my durand with me as well just in case
