Last year I was having dinner with a friend at a restaurant in the city(I was then still newly introduced to wine) and I decided to try a glass of port after dinner since I heard/read so much about it... it was a 1980 Dow's...and it blew me away :yumyum: I was instantly hooked! Went out a couple day...
