There is perhaps no region in the world shrouded in as much mysticism and contrast as Madeira Island.  First discovered in the 1300’s, the island and it’s wine industry has seen various booms and busts through the ages.  Today, there are 8 wineries and a very complex dynamic between growers and producers.  Please join ATX Somms and Mark Rashap in this comprehensive tasting and discussion of style, history, and innovation now happening on the island.  We’ll taste the 4 Noble Varieties of varying age indications as well as some of the lesser seen varieties and vintage examples.
