   “Blazing Saddles” all the way. Mel Brooks is a genius of parodies.

   Just going back through old episodes and this one is an easy QOTD for me to answer with little to no thought.

   Amadeus.

   My favorite movie… there are so many of them. It depends on the genera, but I think I enjoyed “The Game” a lot. It got you thinking about who was in on everything.

   Shawshank Redemption or Pulp Fiction… hard to say depends on my mood

   Isn’t the fact that a lot of ‘better’ wines push their price limits the thing that makes me and a lot of wine lovers roll the eyes and go and seek for another bottle? What about all those people that still have them anyway? Bill Gates or just lazy consumers, or only all marketing confident?
   QOTD: LotR: narrative, shooting, GCI, MUSIC, … just almost unpassable, smth I watch with pleasure over and over again. It’s not the best I’ve seen, but surely one I enjoy very much every time again. Bests: The Village, The Pianist, Perfume, Tarkovski’s movies and surely almost all Lynch’s.

    Gary:

    Nice episode. I’ve had wine that WS dissed in the past and have been impressed – and visa versa. Powers sounds like it’s worth a try!

    Favorite movie…haven’t seen any votes for My Cousin Vinnie

    Lets not dissect each & every syllable that comes out of our wonderful host’s mouth. Its not that deep. Terroir..meritage vs. heritage…charismatic..whatever just let it go.
    Gary you are charismatic & you have inspired me to buy many terroir driven wines..hows that??? ;o

    I think I’m sold on the Meritage.

    Fav flicks in no order:
    Godfather I & II
    The Good The Bad & The Ugly
    Fistful of Dollars

    Great episode, looking forward to trying the powers.

    Favorite movie…Tommy Boy. “maybe he’s some crazy glue sniffer? Building model airplanes he says. We’re not buying it!”

    Cracks me up every time.

    It has to be for me “A Clockwork Orange”

    Favorite movies: (tie) “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” and “Singin’ in the Rain”. When you do your riesling episode, be sure to have a JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr spatlese or auslese. Those wines do make me sing no matter the weather. Jim

    Can’t list just one, but my top five:
    O Brother Where Art Thou
    Caddyshack
    Repo Man
    The Big Lebowski
    Miller’s Crossing

    Can you tell I like Coen Bros movies?

    RC and others I did see the score from Wine Spectator, all I can say is that the Powers was amazing and I am sure you would find the same thing. There is a chance that their bottle was not as great as mine or many other factorsd including different taste buds!

    Julius, if Gary wants to use “charismatic” to describe a wine, I don’t see why that should be a point of argument. Winemaking is an artform, and by simply slicing a wine into it’s parts of “primary, secondary, and tertiary flavors” is the same as saying a work by Picasso is simple “various shades of blue blended on a canvas structure to indicate to the viewer an implied emotion”. If you want your wine viewed reviewed so scientifically, why not ask Gary to list PH levels or residual sugar to precise measurements? And, while Terrior is not an exclusive old world wine trait, you would be blind to say the majority of wines produced in Australia and California don’t blatantly ignore terrior in favor of riper fruit and heavy “in your face” oak treatments.

    My favorite movie of all time is EL CID,starring Charleton Heston and Sophia Loren. Saw it when I was 13 and still watch it at least once a year. Has all the elements, courage, love, vows, good, evil and a great ending.

    Yaa…Miner is a bit bland.

    Favorite movie WAS the Die Hard trilogy, but it’s been replaced by Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2.

    Go Bears.
