QOTD: my fave superhero has to be the Spleen from Mystery Men.

No favorite superhero. When I was a kid, I didn’t read those sorts of comics. Instead, I read Archie.

Look at it this way. Superman and Batman fight crime, save humanity and all that kind of thing. Archie kisses both Betty and Veronica.

Honestly what sounds most appealing? I can tell you, all that super stuff, not being the athletic type, I will never try. Archie’s moves, on the other hand…

Nightcrawler! One of the most complex superhero’s out there. I tend not to go for the big boys, Batman, Spiderman, Superman (gag!), Wolverine, because they are like…N*SYNC, they have their armies of cheerleaders. I go for more under the surface guys (Ringside, The Kills, Muse if we are going to stick to the music metaphor) like the blue demon which probably would remainin obscurity if it had not been for X2. Great episode!

DUDE…Batman of course. How could it be anyone but the dark knight? All you Superman and Mighty Mouse fans are nuts (and you Spiddy fans just like bad movies)

Never have had any collection of Italian Whites other than Gavis and Soaves. Will have to try the Fuiilis. Funny and nostaglic reading everyone’s ideas of superheros. Just to keep it timely, when I was a kid my dad was my superhero. This time of the year I think of him and miss him. Bet your dad was a hero to lots of you. Always liked my heros with some reality, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, Clint Eastwood.

QOTD: When I was a kid, by far, it was Spiderman. This was before the recent movies and all the recent hubub(I haven’t seen any of them).

I also liked Underdog and Bullwinkle.

Another new one for me, thanks. Will seek out Tocai Friulano. I third(?) the Rhone request. This is one of my favorite regions. I would really like to see several episodes (there are so many appellations)!

QOTD: Wonder Twins! No. I second Dave Canada, TMNT! Underdog! Ultraman; he rocked (that’s brings back the memories).

Gary,

Great show, and you’re right I have never tried a Tocai, but now I will.

QOTD: Green Lantern and the whole “Justice League” gang.

Gary- Hopefully you will get some more of the Doro. I know I’m late, darn!

QOTD- Mighty Mouse.

great show (as always) but just some aussie pronunciations. We say barossa with a hard o as the “o” as in “got” not “crow” and shiraz as in shir-”as” (not shir-are’s).

btw – can you tell me why you guys call shiraz syrah?

QOTD: I still think the best super-hero was the first ever created: The Phantom (1936). Although technically speaking the Phantom cannot be considered a true super-hero, in that he didn’t have super-powers, nevertheless people thought that he was immortal, since he had been around for 300 years. That was in fact just an illusion, resulting from the fact that the Phantom’s costume and mask were handed down from father to son from the 17th to the 20th century.

I know, I know: this is more info than anybody needs. But, hey, you asked the question (:- >)

Another great episode………how about some more on Italian whites??

QOTD: not into superheros

Great ep. Always good to learn and try new grapes. Will give these a try soon.
Why do the WL notes score the Doro 88 points, and you give it a 90+ score?

QOTD – my favorite super hero had to be Superman. Also like Speed Racer a lot too but he’s not a mainstream hero so most don’t know about him.
