Great show, as always. I may need to try the Robert Craig, oops, I mean Robert Young esp if you are going to compare it to Opus and Dom!

QOTD: On board? Please, call me Capt Ahab walking the plank. I’m on board like a 10 penny nail.

Looks for some trinkets to come soon.

So is this the beginning of the football season reference going full swing!! Know you love the jets, but unfortunately can’t relate to any of the people you are talking about or the references! Love football just not a stats girl!!! I know its your passion just like wine and you can go on and on about it!!

Nice addition to the Thundercats!

How nice you frockled in the park with the oak monster!!

QOTD: I started building an ark because of all the rain…so YES I am definately on board!!!!

Hard to wait another week!!!

FIrst of all, gary, let me say congrats on outting yourself! I’m glad that you can finally show the more “effeminate” side of yourself!

Secondly, QOTD: I shouldn’t even have to justify that with a response! BUT I WILL! OF COURSE I’M ON BOARD!

running through the park with the OM is brilliant!!!! And Grasshopper’s comment about pink shirts and wood made me do a spit take. Good show today Gary!

Also, just realize that the 33-0 game may have been the first Jets game for Vinny Testaverde.

Aren’t 2X4s Douglas Fir?….. What would THAT do to the wine – yech!

Good to see Carmenere being brought back to the limelight. Too bad it turned out so funky for you.

In 1998 Baltimore Ravens beat the NY Jets 33-0 in the preseason. Jerks…

Cool show, good to see you and the Oak Monster getting along sometimes. I think I see a Disney movie with you and the OakMonster coming to light.

The ranting and talking to the camera person are killing me! FOCUS on the wines and US. That being said, enjoyed your take on the wines you selected for this episode.

I LUV SNARF!!!
I gotta admit, I had a few tabs open during the middle of the show… left the room to go get some Doritos, refilled my glass, but THEN..
The ending of this show was beautiful and I’m glad you chose to show us some of your tender moments with the O.M. Touching.
QOTD: Yes, I’m friggin on BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are we going?

I’m as On Board now as I was at the Hamburger Choo-Choo in Huntington, L.I., where a little train brought your burger from the grill around the counter to where you sat. Toot-toot — fun times!

While keeping an open mind, nose & pallette for the Robert Young, methinks the bottom line will still be:
Me love Cookie Monster.
Me no love Oak Monster.

ON BOARD!! Oak can be my friend! Nice montage but I thought the oak monster looked a little pale, a little sickly, a little inebriated to say the least.

WOW Tommy!

Can’t say I relate to that, but what ever floats yer boat.

I’m on board, you’re right about the TP though.

Great Ep, can’t wait to find out what the big announcement is next week!!!!!
I’m all giddy like a little boy dressing up like a girl for Halloween.

Nice eps., not a huge fan of the oak but there’s room for everything to different extents (there’s a Robert Young Scion in my cart now).

I don’t know there Vaynerchuk, that’s some pretty slick production in that montage, I’m on board alright but if we start getting simulating lightning strikes and crashing thunder sound effectgs and get away from the birds and phone ringing in the background I’m gonna have to rethink this whole thing.

Open the FedEx!

On board and ready to blast off! By the way, is it just me or does Snarf resemble the oak monster? Maybe he IS the oak monster. It can’t just be a coincidence that he showed up for today’s show.

Way to keep balance in the show, GV. Maybe you don’t party with the Oak Monster as often as you used to, but you can still enjoy the occasional dance. That’s a good lesson for all of us, I think. Thanks.
