Brian,

Thank you for the episode on Port. Though I am just getting my feet wet in wine, listening how the Port is made, classified, etc. plus how to serve is intriguing to say the least.

Hi Brian

Thank you for this show.However please remember next time to talk about the other wines of Portugal.They have great white and red wines which over the last 10 years from the best producers are truly great.They have soften the tannins a bit and so you can drink them younger and the whites have great acidity with a long finish.

Thanks for the show I enjoyed it as always.

Great show! Hey, she mentioned that the U.S. doesn’t protect the word “Port”. Actually, per the March 2006 TTB ruling on semi-generic names, no new label approvals (COLAs) will be granted to any labels using “Port”. The exception is that labels approved prior to the ruling are grandfathered-in and still allowed unless the label is changed enough to require a new COLA.

A good example of a winery having to get around this is Peltier Station with their new “USB” Zinfandel made in a Port-style.

This show is also good with pairing one of your earlier shows on cork which predominately comes from Portugal. That was a very interesting show as well, since who thinks of that stuff?

I really appreciate this podcast about port wines of Portugal, which Portugal is famous for throughout the country. Portugal is also an exceptionally beautiful country with best port-wine lodges to visit at leisure.

Excellente! Another wine to re-PORT on. I loved it! All it does is makes me extremely jealous of your jobs on this show.
Port is one of those wines we all like drinking but don’t seem to know as much about so I appreciate you tackling this topic.

Great presentation, great wine. Thank you! And by the way, long live to the cork! Buu to plastic.
