   Another good episode. I’m embarrassed to say I’d never heard of Cahors. I learn so much with each episode…thanks, Gary.

   Damn…. I was happy just to pop open a 2001 Masi Compofiorin (nothing to write home about) since none of my in-laws drink wine. Drinking fine wine is difficult with my wife expecting in the next couple weeks. Not quit sure how some of you guys were able to even tap open 12 bottles. Must have been some serious family gatherings. Good for you guys.

   Italian Stallion, is there any way of joining the club in Hoboken/NYC?

   Congrats on the JETS victory. Chad may get comeback player of the year. What do you think?

   Never heard of Cohors until tonight. Thanks for introducing another region (to me at least). I like it when you do a little bit of history on the grape or region. It figures that the wine I want to buy is out of stock (KAHUNA must have bought it all).

   Greetings from a long-time lurker.

   Great episode Gary. You brought back nice memories of my Grandma, who made the best pigs-in-the-blanket. If you do come to Indy, my husband and I will absolutely be interested in any tasting you arrange.

   As for wine:
   2005 Donnhoff Riesling QbA – crisp apple and yellow fruit flavors, went great with ham
   2004 Dashe Late Harvest Zinfandel – red raspberry scent and flavors, went great with chocolate cream pie

    Those Jets really made you wait til the end. Are they as big into being drama queens as the Redskins? …keeping you on the edge of your seat until the very end? Thanks for focusing on a specific area. You can’t find that kind of info anywhere! And the phrase “it’s kind of boring” is why you rock! jp

    Great job on bringing another little known wine to light!

    Gary,
    I don’t understand weiners with pigs in the blanket? Is this a Belarus dish? I thought ground meat and rice wrapped in cabbage was pigs in the blankets?!?
