    Holy crap! Good grief that weather reminds me of the lake effect snow we used to get growing up in Rochester, NY coming off Lake Ontario. Gary, you da man! The best snow day? Well, I can only think of the monster ice storm we got way back in 1991. We were without power for a week and cooked all our meals in the fireplace. One of the few times they ever cancelled school up there!

  • This was a very fun episode to watch. Seeing the glass slide across the table was fun and seeing, I think the dudes name is Mott, stand in the background the entire time and cover himself with the sign when Gary spit was fun to.

    One of your best episodes Gary.

    Gary, I gotta give that show from the archives 95+ points for originality. In its bizarre fashion, it makes the most compelling argument for the greatness of Ch. Lynch-Bages. Frankly, I liked the bad audio. Your crew has a great sense of humour. Too bad you didn’t have any ice wine at the end though. πŸ™‚

    QOTD: On December 21, 2001, the day before my 40th birthday, my family had a day trip while on vacation in Yosemite National Park. There was a snowstorm the day before and on that day it was sunny, clear, and not too cold. It was a truly sublime day.

    i am going to go full-moon skiing up ontop of the sandia mountains (10,000ft elevation) tomorrow night. We usually take a bottle of burbon, but I think i will try to take a bottle of wine and some glasses and see how that works at the forecast 20-25 degrees F.

    i think a white…so it will be properly chilled. any suggestions?

    it does get pretty windy up there also.

    i’ll let you know.

    πŸ˜€ Great episode. I hope you got the disguised assassin back! At least he didn’t give you a white wash on camera.

    QOTD: We used to get snow days when it dipped below -20Β°F for a day time high. Which was funny because the time that I am remembering, my friend and I built snow forts all day, so I was outside waaaay longer than if I had just gone to school. That time and the day we could barely open the front door because there was so much snow that dumped overnight were my favorites.

  • I don’t think people are talking about the weather when they drink a wine, more maybe when the grape is one the vine, maybe. Do you think? Freakin crazy.
    QOTD: Best snow day? Yeah well I live in LA, and had to be evacuated due to rain, but never snow. My neighbors house started to slip into my backyard. Got to spend it with my honey and a good Bordeaux though. Because as long as you haven’t the slightest clue if your house is going to be there in the morning, you had better enjoy life as best you can. (House is still here. WOOHOO!)
