QOTD: Solomon’s Key holds a special place in my heart but I’m going to have to go new school and say Super Mario Bros. 3 since I couldn’t put it down until I beat it. Don’t forget to love that dog you tried to shoot everytime you lost in Duck Hunt.

Thank you, this is why I come here. Not to say you’re my song and dance boy but you are. So dance! Think I’m going to place my first WL order since I’ve realized that, while I can find good wine, I can’t find a lot of good wine around here. Different bottles every time, right? Thanks!

Mr. Ambassador
Learned a few things watching today’s episode and would really like to sample the Australian cheese you’ve mentioned.

QOTD – I’m a bit more “old-school” having grown-up in the Atari (2600) generation but I did play with my little sister’s Nintendo on rare occasion; I think there was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Game we played quite often…

QOTD: Probably Super Mario 64. Never been a big Nintendo guy; just gravitated to other systems.

UQOTD: 1977 Fonseca. Not the oldest Port I’ve tasted (had a ‘63 Dow), but simply the best.

I’m not a really big fan of port but I love roaring forties too. It became one of our(me & my wife) favorite blue cheese.
QOTD: Hmm….I think I have to pick two. One is Final Fantasy 3 and the other one is Dragon Quest 4. I really wanted to pick baseball game but I never satiesfied with any baseball game in nintendo era.

QOTD – Eventhough it was on the show, with out a doubt TecmoBowl, enough said.

Hey, how many of those SF Vaynerglasses do you have?

I’m gonna need to get my hands on some of that Roaring Forties Blue!

QOTD: Fav. Nintendo game of all-time (all systems) is Super Metroid, w/ Zelda (A Link to the Past) and Final Fantasy 3 being tied for second. My favorite NES game is Super Mario 2 (the one with the toad and the princess). This is a really tough question though. I was addicted to Contra for months.

Thanks for doing a Port show – and a good one at that. I’m just starting to come around to dessert wines. Though still not a huge fan of Port, I have started to appreciate well made late harvest juice. I just balk at the sweetness.

QOTD: I have to go OG Nintendo on this question and it’s a no brainer….Tecmo Bowl FOR SURE! Although….I also loved the Mega Man games.

I love Port. I am looking into getting a few bottles of the 2003 vintage. I just need to figure out where I can cellar them as I will be moving frequently.
QOTD: You put it up there…TECMO BOWL!!!!!! Be the RAIDERS, give the ball to Tim Brown or Bo Jackson and beat your opponent 77-0. Loved it.

QOTD: Contra, and anything with the Powerglove (if you didn’t get electrocuted…)

QOTD: Nintendo might as well be the Japanese word for ‘watching grass grow’ for all I care. Great ep, nevertheless!

Ports are always yummy….I’m going to search out that cheese!! As for Nintendo…it’s a toss up between the Legend of Zelda or Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out.

Great… older Ports. I am there with you, they are values!
