33-0

you can only be talking about the 1998 ravens beating the jets 33-0, going undefeated in the preseason and failing to even make the playoffs while the jets went on to win the division

qotd: I’m on board the oak train as long as there are reds in the box car.

We ate in Santa Fe last night and had dolcetto d’alba and dolcetto gratinata.
Both were great. The retaurant maintains a fragrance free environment so they gave us the sniffy sniff as we entered. It would have seemed awkward but we knew one of the waitors from home – both waiters were really nice. My wristband picture is almost on the way and another Vaniac surprise may be coming too.

Hey…don’t speak ill of the Redskins. It just means you’re still jealous we raided the Jets for players a few years ago. Still miss Randy Thomas and Santana Moss? Of course, last year w/ Brunell showed that if you have a weak-armed QB then Moss isn’t much of an asset, so I guess Chad doesn’t really need him.

QOTD: On board? Sure, why not. I’m on board like all those Jets players wanting to go to a real franchise with the BEST fans in football.

7 days? Is is a baby? A new store opening up in L.A.? Controlled chaos? Is Oak Monster running for president?

Great show! I LOVE the “Gary loves the Oak Monster” montage. Does that rhyme with Meritage or Hermitage?

QOD: Am I on board? Honey, I was on board the WL train before WLTV was even a twinkle in your eye!! October, 2004.

Very entertaining episode, thank you Gary!

I very very rarely get excessive use of oak in
my wines, it’s my choice because I don’t like to
drink wood. So I’m with you there and I think you
were always right saying over-oaked wines are
just faulty.

About being on board – sorry but I think I’m not.
I tend to disagree with your tasting-notes mostly
(only concerning the wines I know obviously).

But, I love your show and watch every episode and will
watch it forever

I agree 100% Time and Place with wines…Wine Making pendulums swing too far and too fast.

Gary,

Liked the Sinatra touch. Still don’t know what Thundercats are but I liked the
new little guy.

Thanks for another fun and fascinating episode. (FF)

QOTD: On board but have no idea as to the destination. Perhaps that is the point.

Woah…I’m glad I didn’t work at Wine Library today. Gary seems in a very weird mood. I agree about the Oak Monster though: done right, he’s great company.

QOTD: On board, oak, “wood in the mouth”, there seems to be a theme here.

Sorry, no #59 come to mind, though ‘58 was a great year to be born!

(Mumm Ra will be coming to you soon!)
