QOTD: any kind of meade or honey wine, esp Chaucer’s Meade.

Awesome episode btw! I’m a poor, poor college student, and inexpensive quality is something I’m in dire need of. haha

GV,
Great job on Conan last night. I taped the show to share with friends that weren’t able to see it due to work schedules. Loved it!

Hey Hollywood,

First off I just want to remind you if you weren’t such an attention ho you could’ve had 4 Vayniacs calling you an idiot in quad and you would’ve had a great meal to boot. I hope you enjoyed the dirt and tobacco ;’)

Secondly here’s for your linky, linky link mood: http://tinyurl.com/2szpwt
don’t say I never gave you anything.

As far as building someone up to knock them down I know I speak for many when I say we’re in it for the roller coaster ride not the destination (because you know you always end up where you started).

A few questions:

Does Chris get combat pay?

How long before you start calling out the lurkers again?

Has anyone rec’d the new wristband?

QOTD: To counter the swelled head: http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=33618 – 92RP for 16 bones and worthy for it’s name alone

Please on the couch WITHOUT the glasses and ascot (you know a wine with such a vulgar and crass name would never pass the lips of Sir Gary)

life's too short...
trust own palate. check. but dude, add this: if you find someone who consistently scores wines in the vein of the stuff you like, then, that could mean you have similar palates. classic episode–dude, you were SO nervous next to the biggest head in the biz–literally and figuratively. good for you. you hung with him on an off-the-cuff bit–now *THAT* is bringing the thunder. high-end new zealand savage white wine? 25 bones. food fight on national TV with Co-Nan O’Bri-an? Priceless, mofo. Yeah, I said it…

The Slate article was great. With everything else he took you to task on he got the right points. Get rid of the pretense and try new things.

QOTD: http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=33176
2005 Le Cadeau Cote Est Oregon Pinot Noir

I think an interesting wine to taste because they farm three separate blocks on their vineyard and make three wines in consultation with three different winemakers. Also, I bought some of it and would like to know if I should drink it now or hold on to it for awhile.

Congrats again on the Conan appearance. It was excellent.

QOTD: I’d like to see some of the ‘05 Two Hands Bella’s Garden Shiraz http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=33204 or maybe the Kay Brothers Hillside Shriaz http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=2730 (even though the wrong label is shown on your site)
