Garster,

I’m guessing not many will see this other than you, you didn’t mention about seeing all comments until the 140-150’s. Had I known I would’ve commented along the way.

I started watching in the 170-180s and have gone back to #1 (and read every comment to boot) and threatened to hit the forums once I’ve caught up. As you can see I’m getting REAL close (again, you’ve been warned).

I’ve been adding to my cart through my journey and it’s grown incredibly fast. I’m not in the industry, have no real desire to train my palate by tasting everything other the sun, just trying to find a nice reptoire that I like (along the lines of I don’t know anything about art but I know what I like). If you can cross reference the email address to the shopping cart you’ll see I’m into new world fruit bombs (with no exageration). On a few occasions I’ve taken your advice and added a few “exploratory” bottles (not many!).

Anyway, I’m trying to pare it down to three cases and it needs to include the shirt as I believe I’ll be spending a weekend with you in Caly in August (wink wink). BTW, the wife doesn’t drink any longer and I have no friends into wine so should I win I would do some sort of contest within the forums to find a co-conspirator. But I digress, if you or any of your staff would care to offer suggestions as what might be good candidates to toss out of the cart I would be most amenable to that, if not, I’ll probably just trash the non-Shiraz and whittle it down from the higher price points(sticking tongue out).

I’m not getting any closer on discovering the meaning of the countdown, looked into DVD releases today. I’m thinking “Dark Shadows” is too old, “Heroes” is too new and neither have the oomph one would expect from the build up to be plausible. But I haven’t given up…….
