   Ronald Reagan was the best president of my lifetime by far!!!

   No question – Teddy Roosevelt – “Speak softly and carry a big stick”, “You can kill a moose, but you can’t kill a bull moose”, etc. He was a renaissance man – talented at most everything he put his hand to, which was just about everything. He was a larger-than-life personality, had strong convictions, and one heck of a toothed-mouth smile.

   I really like the last two episodes – giving us great previews of wines to watch (and I would throw in Cava as the third example of this). Believe it or not, I can even get Torrontes in my local Wine & Spirits store here in backwards PA (I am heading over right now!).

   Top 20 is good for me.

   I have tried this varietal and they are quite refreshing. “Sampling” a Viognier from Chile right now (Como Sur) and it is quite good.

   Favorite President? It has to be Reagan. The only one in my lifetime that exuded some respect to the office. Historically, I’d go with TJ (Thos Jefferson) hands down. He was a huge oenophile.

   Great episode Gary…As a Chef I like that you mention food that goes good with the wine you’re tasting. I’m going to pick a bottle of Torrentes on the way home tonight (Yes, I watch you at work). QOD: Teddy Roosevelt… How could you not like a guy who once said that we should walk softly and carry a big stick. It’s almost as good as “You with a little bit of me are changing the wine world.”

   Interesting episode. Sorry, but for me, petro and wine do not go well together. Any petro character on the nose or palate earns the wine a big PAZZZZZ! And we in OR are also happy NOT to have gas on our hands when filling up.

   QOD? Give ‘em hell Harry is my fav.

   Hey Gary,

   Never had a Torrentes wine.

   Favorite President? Man that’s tough. Definitely not “W”. I’d have to say Reagan.

   Nice, now I am dying to try some Cahors and Torrontes (haven’t had either).

   QOD: Ford was Pres when I was born (76) but my recent answer would be Clinton.

   Really nice to see back to back episodes of, to many of us, unfamiliar wines. The education just keeps on rolling–thanx. QOTD–historically T.R., recently Clinton.

    Great Ep Gary. I’m going to try there wines.

    That was a funny “pumping gas” reference. For those who don’t know, NJ is one of the only (if not THE only) state in the US where they don’t let you pump your own gas. Very frustrating when you’re in a hurry and have to wait for an attendant. Not to mention it makes it harder to pay-at-the-pump.

    QOD: Can’t really say I have a favorite. But if I had to pick one I’d go with Reagan who was President during my HS years and part of my college years

    I never had either the Cahors or the Torrantes.
    I would vote for JFK as favorite Pres.

    I’ve never had a Torrantes or Cahors but looking forward to trying both at some point.
    QOD-Abe Lincoln is my favorite-hands down (We share a birthdate 2/12!)
    Let’s leave nothing to chance this weekend. Gary’s beard and the Vaynershirt…..the winning combo! Let’s see it VaynerNation!! Let’s show Gary & the Jets some VaynerLove & support:-) Is there enough room on the bandwagon for all of us Gary?

    Top ten! Two episodes in a row that I’ve never tried. Looking forward to trying a wine from Cahors. Favorite president is probably Abe Lincoln

    Nice episode…AGAIN. I can affirmatively say that I’ve never had a Torrontes, but I would like to check one out with some spicy Indian or Thai food.

    QOTD: Torn between Truman, Kennedy and Clinton.

    That 2006 SurDe Los Andes is great.

    I got it from my wine club I belong to.
