The terms "sparkling wine" and "fortified wine" just don't have the same ring to them!
Tim, are you buying at 2009 futures? Some of the others are appealing and I've thought about buying a case or two of 375s.

Also, had a 1994 Dow's Vintage Port on Saturday and it was drinking like it was just bottled. IMPOSSIBLY young! If I had more of it, I'd not want to open another for 20+ years.
