    GARY! Great Ep., and I’m gonna go old school with a Loire Sauvignon tonight.
    Also, I just got back from Ireland, and I’m all caught-up on the episodes I missed. The Guinness was great, but I missed wine! They aren’t very particular about their wine there, and I saw a rediculous amount of Hardy’s imported there! Good to be back and you’re getting my wristband pic soon!!

    QOTD: Other than my big wheel (loved the big wheel), and my sweet blue and white striped Osh Kosh shorts, I’ve gotta mention my Marvel Comics and Marvel trading cards collection, Wolverine being the most prized of the bunch. I don’t really miss the blue and yellow striped tube sox, though.

    The only thing better than coffee ice cream is a coffee or mocha milk shake. Awesome.

    Favorite old school thing: The Old Course at St Andrews Scotland. 600 years old and going strong. Every round of golf played there is completely different than the one before, as if on totally different courses. Endlessly fascinating.

  • QOTD: the ice cream/pickle thing reminded me of peanut butter and pickle sandwiches on Wonder bread with a side of cheap generic Cheese Curls, maybe some Depeche Mode in the background, circa 1987.

  • My favorite Old School thing would have to be putting a record on the turntable and listening on a very good hi-fi system. Nothing sounds as good as needle on vynil on s ggod system

    The Transylvanian hussy is fabulous–I say that in a flattering way. Good theatrics, good humor, good camera presence. Very entertaining. Well done.

    Darn you KenP!

    I will let you be last on one condition:

    You must drink an entire jug of sutter home white zin in one hour without throwing up.

    The white zin challenge!

  • Mr. Cabernet

    I would say you are one of the toughest critics when it comes to ratings. Even a wine you rave about only reaches the 94-95 wine. I’m wondering what are your 96+ wines and what are the greatest values in that range?

    Yes, I’m a ratings whore.

    Ken, I have decided to do the white zin challenge myself.

    I will begin in 5 hours, after it has properly decanted.

    A fine wine as such must be oxygenated, as Mr. V taught me!

    Well, Mr. Craig, then I graciously bow out. The last post is yours, following this dross of a post, of course.

  • Great episode as usual G, Megan (wife) and I are planning a dessert wine party so I will have to throw the Sauternes you tasted today in there.

    Shout out for coffee ice cream. LOVE IT, I MEAN LOVE IT, double shout out for the ice cream pickle follow up from my wife. I would think she was pregnant but she has been doing that for the 4 years that I have known her.

    Favorite old school: The movie Rad!, without a doubt

    Peace and chicken grease
