Thirteen dollars?! Where did you ever find this for that price? This is the 500ml size that is normally around $40, right? Niiice…

Yeah, 500mL. I’d be astonished if the regular price is ~$40! I found it on clearance at one of my local grocery stores, but I don’t think it was originally in the $40 neighborhood.

A great thing about Madeira is that provenance is not a concern.
