   Good episode. While I have my own palate that differs from Gary’s, he has always been a great help to me in selecting wines. I called my local wine cellar and they recommended the Black Chook shiraz and sparkling shiraz. I will now also try the Carina Cellars and the Majella; hopefully they will take my shiraz experience to the next level. As always, thanks Gary.

   QOTD: My thing is the four (4) W’s. Watches, Wine, Wheels, and Women - in that order.

   Ok - I’m back and I’m drinking the Majella - Gary is pretty much on the nose with this wine, except it might be a little too creamy for some. 93 points is a little high in my opinion but 90+ is very reasonable. Spend the extra 18 bucks and get the Mollydooker Goosebumps - now that wine has the structure that this wine is somewhat laking. But this is still a great bottle and a good buy at $28.

   This is why I’m glad all of the old episodes are posted - now I’m buying with a bottle of the Majella! I had some Goosebumps (mollydooker) sparkling shiraz at a tasting and loved it! This is about $18 less and hopefully will bring the same amount of satisfaction!

   Episode Suggestion: Best wine bottles to use as weapons and which to drink before you strike. The 2004 Majella Sparkling Shiraz Bottle would be first. Now that is a funny way to tie wines together!

   QotD: My thing is…running with my Nike Plus Ipod thing.

   Tough you are. So, QOTD: my thing is cheese, just for now. Wow, I can feel it in my mouth, a good Pecorino, or a Chevre d’Ardennes with Rochefort beer.

   QOTD: I pulled my 20 year old remote control car (Tamiya Frog) out of storage and it still works! So I’ve been tinkering around with it, so I guess that’s my thing…

    flavasauce comment 143. Yes I googled it. Does that mean the wedding is off? I think we’ll need a prenup.

    Hey Gary - How does that Carina Shiraz/Viognier compare with the Australian D’Arenberg Laughing Magpie, which I believe is also a Siraz/Viognier blend??

    QOTD: I don’t really have a thing. At least I don’t THINK I have a thing. Unless everything is my thing - which means I love every day. But I don’t have one specific thing. Sometimes my thing is my thing, but I can’t go into that here. Whatever I’m enjoying at any given moment could be my thing. Whatever makes me money or makes me happy could be my thing. I wonder if Iraq is anybody’s thing…

    Say, Gar’ — thanks very much for the wristband — but where’s the other one?! You KNOW I need two to fend off the flying corks! Please comply with my request at once!

    Another great ep.

    We are big fans of sparkling Shiraz and typically drink Rumball here. I will have to try 3 bottle of the Majella. Sounds great and the price is OK.

    My thing is WLTV and trying to not work as much.

    Tried a sparkling shiraz for the fist time a couple years ago at Thanksgiving dinner. One of our good friends dated a guy who was from Australia and his parents were still nice enough to mail a lot of wine his way. Needless to say, it was delicious!!

    Gary, the next time someone asks what you would recommend to drink with a traditional (sage dressing) Thanksgiving turkey dinner, you know have an additional answer: Sparkling Shiraz!

    Nice episode- I’ll have to try that last wine. I think it’ll also make a nice B’Day present for my Sis. My thing: Being here now and enjoying the beauty of life.
