I have GOT to pick me up a good Tokaji. I had a tokay (not a true Hungarian Tokaji) a long time ago that I just loved, and I've never had the real juice. Soon. QOTD: The best draft pick I ever made was grabbing Dennis Eckersley in a new fantasy league the first year Oakland made him into a reliever. He posted the league lead in saves the next year, and had two more great years after that, including his incredible sub-1 ERA season in 1990. Great show. I have GOT to pick me up a good Tokaji.

Im purchasing a true essencia, and I CANNOT wait to dig into that in 3-5 years. I know Im going to be in heaven. Watching all these shows, I dont know that Ive seen one where I havent grinned or laughed out loud at your antics. Keep it up. Its people like you that make people like me love wine.

Been a fan of Alex and Kevin for a long time and was stoked to see you do a show of wines they had picked. And apparently, Mars has left the Universe - good to know. Great episode GV.

Very glad to see the review on the Panther Creek. I was looking at that one and remembering some of the great Panther Creeks we had back in the mid-90's when we lived in Portland (of course the winemaker was different then). Have to say I'm pretty disappointed in the review of the Grant Burge. I recently anty'd up for a bottle because it scored in the same range and similar price point as the Jasper Hill Shiraz you raved about a while back - and I was going to compare the two some time down the road. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against fruit bombs - we love to throw palate to the wind over a Molly Dooker or Marquis Phillips every so often. It's just that I thought the Meshach would be at least somewhat more old world based on the prestige you mentioned and the Spectator description. SO... my question to you is whether or not you agree that this wine would be "best after 2011" as the Spectator review says, or should it be drunk earlier. I'd like to know because most likely I will not buy another bottle of the Meshach based on your description. To answer your question early in this EP, I hope you do bring viewer question(s) back, because it rings true to your end tagline for every EP.

How many puttonyos in that baby? QOTD: I don’t know about my best draft pick but since I am answering this on Monday afternoon AFTER the NFL draft I’ll say that I’m very happy with the Browns in getting a great lineman and IMHO, the best quarterback available in this year’s draft in the SAME round. Brady Quinn is going to have a great NFL career!! Love the Tokaj but that is a bit on the pricey side for that type of wine. How many puttonyos in that baby?
