| What Would Jefferson Drink Now? On this President's Day, we speculate on what our most wine-crazy Commander-in-Chief would drink today. Both a traditionalist and a forward-thinker, Jefferson was also a devoted seeker of the best stuff. While Ambassador to France, he even took several month-long wine excursions to ferret out the finest wines. We like to think we do the same.  Broadbent Rainwater Madeira Madeira, the fortified Portuguese wine, was famously one of Jefferson's favorites. We think this noble version would appeal to his tastes and to his budget (Jefferson spent almost all his money during his lifetime). Timeless, before or after a meal. $19.99 / bottle  Montchovet Hautes Côtes de Beaune 2009 This bio-dynamic, old-world pinot noir strikes a perfect balance between tradition and innovation. We think Jefferson would have kvelled. $29.99 / bottle  Emilio Hidalgo "Marques de Rodil" Especial Sherry NV Also a fortified wine. Ryan calls this Especial Sherry a "transcendent, labor-intensive marvel that would have surely appealed to our forefather." $44.99 / bottle  Domaine du Jaugaret Saint-Julien 2006 Jefferson loved bordeaux. And we should too. Especially this Left-Bank Bordeaux made like a claret of long ago. $99.99 / bottle  Dow's Vintage Port 1994 We're sure he would have flipped for this stunning port from the most legendary producer in Portugal and one of the great vintages of our generation. $129.99 / bottle If you are looking for something in particular, give us a ring and we'll help you find the one that's just right!
