The 'burg is Northglen (maybe two "n's"), but I have not heard of Total
Beverage. Must have sprung up, since I left that area. Next trip up, I'll have
to look into it. Also Boulder Wine Merchant (I think that is the official
name) has a good Port selection, and is run by TWO Master Sommeliers -
something you don't find too often.

While the Taylor 20 is probably my favorite, with the Barros 20 Anos next, I
too like the Sandemans, as well as the Cockburns. All of these producers have
excellent 20's and very, very drinkable 10's. Each producer has a distinctive
house style, and I appreciate each.

I agree about the 30's and 40's. They are good. They impress the in-laws, but
are just not up to the 20's. That doesn't mean, however, that I'd refuse a
glass of either!!!!!!!!
