  • Greatest Tag Team? Nikolai Volkov claimed to be singing the Russian National Anthem at the beginning of every match, but it was Cara Mia.

    I would have to say that the greatest Tag Team of all time was the duo of Big John Studd and Mr. #1derful Paul Orndoff.

    Great Show.

    QotD — never had a 100% Touriga Nacional. The table wines made from blends of Port grapes I had in the 90s were pretty odd. The few I’ve had recently have been decent

  • Happy Friday! Love the show especially ones from regions that don’t get the credit they deserve.

    QOTD: No, I have not but sure to add this one to my Centurion list.

    Have a great weekend and good luck to the Jets. 30-17 (Raiders stink)

    Cheers!

    P.S. Looking forward to the Secret Pack. I’ll need it to drown my sorrows if Obama wins.

    Wish I could get the secret pak (IL laws suck) but will have plenty of Champagne chilled when Obama wins!!!

    QOTD: Nope but have ordered some!!

    Have a great weekend!!

  • I’m #14… I try harder!

    Cool show on great wines! Touriga’s, to me, are like a cross between a syrah and a cab, sometimes with a little of that zinfandel jammyness thrown in. Big wines, great for some bbq ribs or a steak, and killer, of course, in a port!

    QOTD – can’t remember the last one I had since I have only had a few, but I liked them both. Thurston Wolfe, a Columbia Valley winery, does a “JTW Port” from the Columbia Valley, of all places, which has Touriga Nacional in it, and it rocks. Cheers!

    QOTD: Never tried a Touriga Nacional. I have a feeling I’m going to need more than wine on November 4th. How about a secret bourbon pack?

    Wazzup!

    I must share that I love Portugal for many reasons. The wine is great, but so is the history and the people.

    QOTD: No Touriga Nacional tonight, but what about Baga? I love the Marquês De Marialva, both for the price and the quality.

    Keep up the hard work…

    P.S. Picked up the book, finally…inspiring intro by the way…

    Cheers!

    Bring in more Portuguese reds!!!! (ok, calming down). We had two different tastings in the past year that highlighted said reds. In both cases typically chatty groups grew quiet as they started sipping. The wines, especially the 2003 Casal de Loivos stunned people with their quality to price point. To repeat: bring in more Portuguese reds!!

    Never had a Touriga, but will look for one in my wine shop. Hey, here’s the Super Bowl: Jets vs. Redskins. Even though I love GV, I’ll be shouting all up in his grill piece when Clinton Portis runs through his defense! Yah!

  • Robin C

    QOTD: Not much Portuguese wine here. Will try to get some.

    QOTD: I’ve had reds from Portugal but don’t know if they were Touriga Nacional. In any case, I’ve enjoyed at least 75-80% of them, including the ones that were slightly port-like(Baby Port). I have the Chryseia, but haven’t tried it yet.
