Daverdud…I mean, Gary,

Funny you should mention 3d glasses, when the Thundercats finally arrive they’ll be accompanied by something else I couldn’t resist on eBay (sucker for a bargain).

Nice punt on the punt question, pinned inside the 5.

QOTD: Passion for family life, and, er, passion passion. It’s tough working in midtown Manhattan during the summer months and keeping one’s mind at home (above gutter level).

My QOTD for you: Is it just me that interprets the direction that the gentleman are walking on those two bottles as an indication of their apparent diametrically opposed style? Ah, screw it, stop thinking about the wine and drink it!

Gary, great friday episode
QOTD- My dogs, they are both boxers and eight years old but they are completely different, one ignores me and the other can’t be without me.

Nut! A little over-the-top in style – Booyah!
Cramer already has a show.

QOTD: The spaghetti sauce I made last night and everything I made before it. Because last night I added cab. sav. for the first time. So while it only looks a little different, its taste is a world apart.

Have fun in Idaho!

Build a wine closet. I did so, with a refurbished refrigeration unit (basically an AC), shelving that I bought used from Craigs List…. and now I have room for 500 bottles… Much better than a cooler….

And it is totally not full!

Hey Gary — We tried the 2004 Parsons Flat a few weeks ago an weren’t overwhelmed either — gave it an 89. It just didn’t have the complexity we thought it would and for that price point I think we were expecting a little more. QOTD: Can’t really think of anything. Have a good weekend.

Got the wristband today, thanks! Digital camera crapped the bed, so nadda for a picture in the immediate future. QOTD: My twin nephews.

I think you may have hurt that guy’s feelings by not answering the punt question.

QOTD – Umm…my two hands? They look remarkably similar. But they really are very different.

Funny how you crap on the G-men while getting on the punting soap box, even w/ the in-depth detail of mentioning the technique of using an angle to place the ball inside the 20….you mention Eli, you mention Brandon…and you fail to say anything about our MVP Jeff Feagles? Hello, lead the NFL on punts inside the 20 ever since they started tracking that statistic!? How convenient of you. You also forgot to mention how lame the green goobers are…can’t wait to watch Puntington’s shoulder get completely dislodged from the socket when Strahan ruptures it…assuming he doesn’t quit!

AWESOME TOP 45!!!!!
Lars killed it!
QOTD: This years Seattle Seahawks vs last years. The Seahawks are going to bring the Thunder this year!

So……….
What is the point of the punt, IN A WINE BOTTLE?! Ha ha football, but I had the exact same question as that guy did after watching the Sea Smoke epsiode.
Anyone?
Anyone?

easy qotd, gv……. music.

take two bands who play the same style of music, one of which has that certain something, the other that doesn’t, and put them side by side. the band that doesn’t have the spark… they look the same, they can sound the same, they can have the same cover art, they can thank the same bands in their liner notes…. heck, the crappy band can even seem to be as good at first. but six month later, that album is being used as a coaster for your gin and tonics, while the other is still in your cd player.

have an awesome weekend everybody…

Lars was as usual hilarious.
QOTD my driver and three-wood. They look the same, but I slice the hell with the driver, and hit the three wood straight (usually).

You didn’t have this wine during the Australian Shiraz/Viognier Ep. I was really intrigued after the Terlato/Chapoutier was sold out. You are spot on with Victoria. Thanks for turning me on to the region!

QOTD: two things that look the same and are completely different. . .my profession(in wine) and my passion(in wine).

QOTD: Probably me and Gary. My 4 year old nephew just walked into my office and saw Gary on the screen and asked if that was me. hahaha
Probably the only thing we have in common is our love for early 80’s tv cartoons like the Thundercats. I am not the kind of guy starting a video blog, he can have it.

I have a Whisperkool through wall cooling unit in my walk in cellar. Keeps LIQUID at 55 degrees. I could sleep in my cellar

QOTD: Meat from a super market vs. a quality butcher. One eats like leather and one like, well…….. you know what I mean!

QOTD: The icons to the Pownce client and a MP3 bitrate changer program I have look a little similar, but the programs they run are completely different.

I know, I know. That was a dumb answer.

Lars was the best part of the show today!!! Great Intro LARS!!!
Gary Lay off the Giants comments.

I like to golf and my wife does not. She looks at the clubs and thinks that they are all the same. But as you know, each club has a purpose. Whats funny is that my wife does not drink wine and thinks grape juice is cheaper. She is so practicle.

P.S. In case she reads this, I love you.

First off, great video Lars. Second, Gary, are you suggesting that a Brandon Jacobs fumble (See every third Jacobs carry) is less dangerous than an Eli pick? Finally, QOTD: I have no idea…. Okay, the lids that Groundwork (A coffee place with several locations in LA. Speaking of which, what’s the plan GV?) use look just like the fantastic Solo lids, but are effing pieces of junk.
