Love port. Nice episode. Mighty tempted to pick up some of the Dow ‘94. We’ll see.

QOTD: Never much liked video games. I prefer good old-fashioned board games. The only game I can even think of is Super Mario Brothers. Just too much of a geek, I guess.

By far.. Tecmo Superbowl, followed closely by Super Mario Bros 3 (which I now relive on the Wii)… How do I score one of those wristbands?

I LOVE port. Just love it. Every time im out to a nice dinner and port is on the menu I try to have a nice 20 year or so. Ive never had a vintage yet but I keep looking at the 1994 Dows in my wine shop and wondering. Im also looking over a half bottle of 1978 port from the year I was born. Im sold now and am going to buy both in the very near future. QOTD: This is probably the most unfair question youve ever asked on the show because I could name 50 games if you gave me 15 minutes…. But off the top of my head the original Zelda and the first 4 Mega Man games really bring it to me. But then youve got Tecmo Bowl sitting there which I LOVED as a kid….

QOTD: This is a great question, especially for those in our generation. A tough one though… RC Pro Am perhaps, Excitebike was pretty cool, but I think I have to go with NHLPA Hockey, where you could make your own players, and the Buffalo Sabres (my team!) always won because I stacked the team with the homemade guys, who were always faster, tougher, and more accurate than any of the real players. Oh man, that was fun. I’m pining for childhood now.

I am Portuguese, and Port wine has always been present in special occasions or just for a different finish for ordinary days.

My father had saved a Vintage bottle from 81 (but don’t remember the producer) but never had the chance to try it because he passed away. On the Christmas eve of 2006, one year after is death, me and my family opened the bottle and drank in his memory. I can tell you that it was one of the best experience my nose and tongue ever experienced, along with the warmth created along your body.

It was a great bottle to celebrate a great life, Port will ever have a special meaning to us!

Thanks Gary for showing how great this wines can be!

Hey, you have to taste Port(o) with some good creamy portuguese cheese for Serra da Estrela (mix goat, sheep and cow milk). I tell you that you will never forget!

Awesome episode Gary! I was wondering if there was a Port WLTV episode in the archives! I might have to pick up the 1994 Dow’s – I’ve been looking into picking up a bottle of vintage (after making my way through Tawnys, Rubys and LBVs) and this is a bottle that is quite available locally.

QOTD – Super Mario Bros. 3. No and ifs or buts about it.
