Pine ridge is always a nice glass. Just at $50 (bones) it is a bit too pricey. Should be in the under $30 range with their regular bottling coming in at $19 (bones).
But then, we live in a world where Caymus regular is $70 bones. Nice wine if you can find it for $25-$30.
but then I ramble.

GV, Since tonight was the NCAA final I have to say 1985 Georgetown vs Villanova was as good as it gets when Villanova shot 22 for 26 and won 66-64 beating a team they lost to twice in conference. The first 10 minutes of the game was unbelievable and Georgetown’s poor sportsmanship at the end made me dislike them to this day. Also the 1984 McEnroe-Lendl French Open final was an incredible display of serve and volley tennis on a surface that no one save McEnroe would have attempted, unfortunatly after playing flawlessly for two sets he fell apart and lost three straight,even he has said this was his biggest dissapointment.

QotD – Battle Bots! The Red Bot vs. The Blue Bot…It’s all about The Red Bot yo! Still, the 2006 WC Portugal vs. Holland Quarterfinal match was pretty savage.

“…With the naked workers in the field…and $43 for one juice box…and I love earth…almost like an unfiltered raspberry bomb exploding in your face, AND YOU DIDN’T DUCK.” –Absolutely CLASSIC description. Even though I can’t afford today’s competitors, at least I could enjoy the commentary. Thank you for a quality, if brief, EP, BIG G.

QOTD: Andre-Hogan is deffinitely tough to beat, so I won’t try to. BUT another good H2H was Inigo Montoya vs. The Man in Black in The Princess Bride (1987).

You reminded me of my uncle. He always compared football to ballet – the choreography of the plays, the graceful moves of the players. I’d never heard that before or since – until today when you mentioned both in the same sentence.

QOTD –
Most recent/famous: Paul McCartney vs. Heather Mills — you know, the dancer?

Most expensive settlement: Rupert & Anna Murdoch — $1.7 billion. Lucky Anna!

Gary, thanks for placing our pictures at the start of the episode. That was neat. And what a great episode. We should have head to head showdowns like this much more often. In this case, obviously two top quality Cabs. Go Sox!

More on the QOTD:
I think Tennis probably has some of the most compelling H2H matches.
Australian Open: 2003 Qtr’s Roddick v El Aynaoui (Roddick won: 4-6, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4, 21-19 and I was VERY tired going to work on 3h sleep)
Australian Open: 2006 Semi’s Baghdatis v Nalbandian (Baghdatis won: 3-6, 5-7, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4)
US Open: 2006 2nd rnd Baghdatis v Agassi (Agassi won: 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 7-5)
