A flight of wines in Boulder

Here's a flight of wines that I really enjoyed at The Mediterranean in Boulder:
Jorge Malaga
Alvada Madeira
Felsina Vin Santo
Domaine Mas Blanc

Unfortunately, that's all the information I have about them - no year or anything. I'll try to look for these wines and maybe I'll post some notes here eventually
