QOTD: Something I knew I should have jumped on but didn’t was last September when my husband and I were going to a wine dinner in Santa Fe for the Wine and Chile Fiesta, and we wanted to stay the night because driving back to Albuquerque (about an hour) after a 5-7 course wine dinner didn’t appeal to me, and a wine salesman had promised to comp us for a room, but he waited till the last minute, and even though I knew that nice hotels near the Santa Fe Plaza often booked ahead for a year before special events I didn’t push him, and we ended up getting a marginally OK motel that was near if you didn’t mind crossing 6 lanes of freeway traffic at night, so we drove, and my husband didn’t get lost because he never gets lost, but we got an extensive tour of some of the more charming and inaccessible homes of Santa Fe. I mention all of this because at that wine dinner – David and Michael – Michael’s wife Christie (I think it was Michael) told me that ATTENTION GARY: if you ate a serving of oatmeal every day you could lower your cholesterol. I tried it for 3 months (oatmeal is not just for breakfast either) and lowered my cholesterol 21 points. It’s worth a try, especially if you like oatmeal. The instant kind is reportedly not as good, but you can use it in a pinch.

I got Nuthn’…..
Little leary on this Twitter thing… not too sure I want to/need to know your bathroom habits… maybe this is one I’ll wait on and jump in on later.

BTW.. my local Wine Purveyor has me into a couple mixed cases of the 2005 White Burgandy.. so I’m pumped to try those out.

I just pulled the trigger on half a case of that plonk you just recommended. I’m such a lemming.

Kraft Mac-N-Cheese is awful. But I love good macacroni and cheese — especially as a side with good BBQ.

QOTD: No. Your QOTDs are getting a little too specific.

Jumped in with both feet and now our patent is being issued next Tuesday. If the market buys in, you’ll see my smiling face in the WSJ or Business Week. Of course I’ll be the guy wearing the Vayniac T-shirt.

Poor College kid Loves the Mac and Cheese/Douro combo! I just bought some cheap Rioja today so I’ll try that w/the macn’cheese tonight. Still wishing I could buy your wines here in PA.

QOTD: Back before I understood what mailing list wines were….I heard about Kosta Browne. It took me the better part of a year to find their webpage & sign up….and now, like thousands of others….I’m waiting for an allocation. Gary! Quit playing! Get Maynard James Keenan on the show!

Thanks for pointing out the White Burgundies…just in time for me to make another purchase. can you post the name and location of the Mac & Cheese place in NYC. I would love to try it out.

QOTD: I have been ahead of the curve so many times with technical stuff among my friends, I would have to think about it.

Have a great weekend!
