I have to say that I sometimes take a dip into the dark side and enjoy a nice buttery chard… Not always, but occasionally

“Let’s see if this wine brings the wood.” Did you really say that??? I wonder what Conan’s response would have been.

QOTD: Most definately!!!!!

Can we bring the gravitar’s back?

Great show. You finally payed a much needed homage to your inner oak monster. We’ve all got one…he just needs a little love occasionally.

alright, I’ve been lurking here for a couple of weeks now (since I read the article in Slate). Guess I should come clean, come out, and be down with Vayniac Nation. I’ve watched maybe 30 or 40 episodes since finding this site, absolutely LOVE the reviews. Sort of a wine barbarian, I don’t have a very discriminating palate (coffee, however is a different story), but I can recognize the 2 extremes: know what’s nasty, and what’s extremely good. The 70% in between tastes very much the same to me.

Anyway, I’m enjoying learning much more about wine, expanding my exposure to new tastes, and being entertained by GV, you da MAN. (But…. just wait for Sept 16th. Caw! Caw!)

There. De-Lurked, officially. Dealwiddit.

Oak monster? Looked like a Truffula tree to me. So benevolent. Who knew?

Oh wait, I *do* have Cotchery! Ah well, Jennings wasn’t getting anywhere, someone was gullible enough to drop him for a homer, and Pennington’s on the bench, so why not?

On board? I suppose so. But I’m not drinking anything for this episode.

QOTD: Been on board for a while. A few of my friends have started watching you. Partly because you’re awesome, but also because you sound a lot like a film teacher (with the same intensity and voice) at Otis College in LA, named Keith Downey.
