Why to cut the foil: Because if you don’t cut it and rip the cork out forcibly, then a piece of tin might find its way into your wine. When you pour the wine, the piece finds itself in your glass! And then drink the wine, you taste it and chew it. Have you ever chewed on tin foil? It’s awful. Ruins the wine. And that’s just no good.

QofD: I am in the Law School Library finishing my Paper and NJ Bar Application. All weekend long.

QTOD – remaking some vacation plans. Was going to Indianapolis for big car show in June where you can drive your car on the big track. Shivers down the spine time. But work intervenes -must go to Lake Como Italy(not so bad). Now planning hot rod car show for Syracuse NY mid July which coincides With Watkins Glen Finger Lakes Wine Fest. 80 wineries. etc. However I loathe sweet wines. Can we prevail upon the grand Vaynerchuk to identify which wineries produce “decent” not sweet juice?

Great friday!
Happy birthday Susan!
QOTD:IÂ´m going to MaracanÃ£ Stadium (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) to see the great Botafogo against the dirty Vasco (soccer, does any one like soccer? I know itÂ´s not a favourite sport in US). Probably Romario, the great brazilian player, will make his 1000 goal. LetÂ´s see.

You should have been buried in those wristbands….they rock.
Your sister is cool. I didn’t think she’d actually email back. No wonder she is teacher of the year.

A bullfrogâ€™s beating heart? You got me thinking of two scenes in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

1) “Ah, dessert! Chilled monkey brains.”
2) The “heart-ripping” ceremony.

QOD, going to Morimoto tonight. Can you say UNI? Sure you can. Tomorrow thru Monday preparing for passover seder. Sue cooks, I’ll clean. BTW, passover is the only holiday that I know of where drinking at least four glasses of wine is part of the religious text (haggadah).

Hey stevo – you’re right!

Hey Gary – why no shout out to all of us devoted ones who gave you exactly what you asked for?? A huge outpouring of Vayniac comments, well in excess of the 350 you asked for, deserves a little reciprocal love, don’t you think? G – you know we all love you, man. stevo is right, but I wouldn’t say WTF…

For those of us who watch the vlogs regularly, it’s almost like a soap opera. We tune in to see what happens next. Each episode feeds on the previous ones. So stevo is right, in a way… 547 comments should not go unrecognized.

I gotta go open a Bordeaux. Try to pull off the foil… Have a nice weekend everybody!

Tonight: Single Malt Scotch Tasting. The rest of the weekend is going to church and getting ready for Holy Week. Busy, busy week if you, like me, work at a church. Then, I will plan my Easter dinner and enjoy some Brooklyn sun, oh, and make dinner for my wife. What red wine goes with Pork Tenderloin a la Bittman? Friends?

Weren’t the free wristbands the reward for the 350+ comments? Gary, your sister returned my email. She must adore you for all of the emails that popped into her in-box.

QOTD: Grilling and chilling with the family. Gotta love that!

You know what Gary, you should start a list of pretentious, hoity-toity wine myths, and then categorically start to debunk them and write the conclusions down. You know, just go Martin Luther style and write a “95 Theses” for the wine reformation. And I’m not just talking about things like “cork” vs. “screw top”, or “cut a circle in the foil” vs “yank the whole thing off”. Your comments yesterday about start of VdT Tuscans was really interesting. I’d love to hear more about that sort of stuff.

Guess what’s in between..Yep..the Wine Library.
Some how, aliens takeover the car and they
go down I78 to 24, then to a littllle parking lot
where they stop. I sit in the car and they come
out with a boatload of bottles. The liquid in
these bottles is yummy……
