In this class, we’ll explore the fascinating story of Madeira, the fortified wine that helped toast the birth of a nation. Beloved by figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, Madeira was a fixture at diplomatic meetings, political gatherings, and even the signing of the Declaration of Independence. But why Madeira? We’ll uncover how this resilient wine made its way from the Portuguese island of Madeira to American shores—surviving long sea voyages thanks to its unique production process that includes heat and oxidation. You’ll learn about the different styles of Madeira, from dry Sercial to rich Malmsey, and how this wine became a symbol of refinement and revolution. Come taste the past in your glass!
