"It's not just a job, it's not just a hobby, it's a lifestyle." This is just one guy's opinion who happens to taste a few thousand wines in the course of a year. And as wine folk know, this is a thirsty business, so I wash it all down with an ale and maybe even a whiskey (Tequila or gin when the thermometer soars). So take this all with a shaker of salt and forgive me my mispellings.

1977 Dow's Porto 1.5l

The last time I has this was out of a 3l @ a martini party that my
roomate @ the time threw @ our place on Wabansia. It was towards the end
of the night & everyone was half-crocked, but this bottle disapeared in
less than an hour amongst 15 people after it was opened! This was
probably a decade ago & man has this changed! Back then it was a fruit
bomb, now it's a fig bomb. Fully mature, this still has a great deal of
acidity on the back-end so don't rush to pull the cork if you have one.
Would be great w/ a cigar after an afternoon of raking leaves.
