Basic Ruby from the Dwooro on TV

Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com

With your spelling I was expecting Barbara Walters to host, but instead it was just someone that didn't know what she was talking about. Luckily the other three knew a tiny bit more.

I know Loren from one offline and years online, he is a very savvy wine taster and a good writer too. He likes Port but is not what I'd consider a Port geek, but he clearly knows how to pronounce the Douro region. The girl who hosts this show is a pretty face (arguably) but certainly is lacking in worldly ways when it comes to wine.

I wasn't trying to really make fun of her, but to gain attention for the thread itself. :devil:

A very well done presentation on it. I'd say they nailed it right with their evaluation of it.
