Gary, congrats Jets beat Pats for 1st time in 8 or 9 years, and I’m curious to see how much you talk about that on the next episode. Btw, how about tackling a vin jaune episode? Or doing a blitz tasting on the different charbono’s out there?

TO ALL

Notice some wonderings about Wine Fridges Just Picked up a little unit in of all places Target
it is an AVANTI Wine Cooler. It holds 12 bottles ( I bought 2) and was on sale for 99 from 129. It is a Thermo electric refrigeration unit ie;no moving parts except for 2 small muffin fans (the type that cool your PC). It uses an electronic technology that creates refrigeration with out a compresser. Although it is not capable of much below 50 f it keeps wine at the right temp (I am finding out most whites are kept to cold and you don’t notice alot of the subtler flavors and reds to warm). If you like it colder a 1/2 hour in the fridge does it since the wine is at 50 already. It also takes up very little space 25h x 10d x 19d it unobtrusive, makes virtualy no noise except for the fans ,no vibration as not to shake up the sediment in reds and has removed the Wine clutter from our fridge. The only down side is it only holds 750 ml bottles and smaller and some of the longer Reislings don’t allow the door to close. This is a handy little unit.

How long does the free shipping code last?
I need to wait until the 20th to order.
You know, credit card considerations. Will it last thru the week?
Thanks,

Rocky 1 is a better movie over all BUT If you were age 14-21 and saw Rocky 4 in the theatre during the height of the Cold War you know its the only movie that people were jumping out of their seats chearing and chanting USA during. It is my only movie memory of the 80’s along with MIDNIGHT SHOWINGS OF ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW! drinking everyones favorite wine BOONSFARM & Maddog 20/20(which I am not sure what it was)

So Stallion I will go with you on that Rocky 4 thought.
