Cool EP GV.
Sorry the WOOP WOOP was disappointing, I usually enjoy their wines as do you it sounds like.

QOTD: Bearded Ladies fascinate me!!

Fun Fact…My sister’s name is Elizabeth! GO figure.

QOTD: the various structural patterns of tree species. *shrug* Actually, as of about a month ago, when I saw my first WLTV episode, I am now fascinated with wines. I don’t have anywhere near the ability to distinguish wine tastes (or smells) as 98% of the rest of these folks on here, but I am LOVING all the learning that I’m absorbing here. You’ve made a topic (wines) that I previously thought was dull, an obsession. So I have to give you props, man. May the Flying Spaghetti Monster touch you with His noodly appendage.

haha, nice Eli Manning imitation. (Caw! Caw! -Sept 16)

Too bad the sparkling wine wasn’t a favorite. I grew up in a family that loves Champagne and we’re always looking for something new to try. I’ll be looking forward to the sparking wine episode you mentioned.

Also can’t wait for episode #300!

heh, cheers to your sis! my mother was born on Friday the 13th too. Thing is, my mother LOVES wine like Woop Woop. Strange eh? Is there a Steve Buscemi movie here somewhere??

QOTD: Old Knarled up vines that serve up grapes that can spend years in the bottle and somehow never seem to spoil. Who’d a thunk it? Thundercats and newbies unite! Zinmaster is a lurker no more!!!

You really brought a mixed bag to the table today eh? Did you guys grab the Bonny Doon for today because of that discrepancy in scores or did it just work out that way? To me that’s just even more proof that trusting one’s own palate is always the way to go

QOTD: The rate at which children can learn things. They are incredible and seem to act like knowledge sponges imo. I was able to take the training wheels of my stepsons bike one day, and within about 8 rides out with me he was able to ride into the single track trails with me on my mountain bike… truly fascinating!

My daughter was born on Friday the 13th, too. You’re right: It IS a lucky day.

QOTD: The things that fascinate me are usually things that shouldn’t.

QOTD: Being able to know what my friends are doing because of Twitter!

QOTD: The path that we all walk…..and how our paths intertwine with others and sometimes cross…..life fascinates me…..

Glad you corrected your “Craig” slip though as always, I was intrigued with the show esp the Castel. I may need to spring for a couple of bottles and compare to my Reginac.

QOTD: What fascinates me? Wow, if I stayed on the subject I guess what fascinates me is taking this round berry and turning it into delectable nectar called wine. But really, I am fascinated how someone who died when he was 35 could produce the most amazing music we still enjoy today some 250 years later and of course, Im talking about Mozart. Absolutley fascinating.

I’ll be there tomorrow with my two bottles!!!!

Cheers

P.S. Most of the stash I sent you are not TCs, erroneous advertising on eBay but I think there’s at least one.

Sorry to hear about how awful the Woop Woop chard was, especially since I’ve been a longtime fan of Woop Woop shiraz, which IMHO, in the best QPR shiraz around.

BTW: It’s LE POUSSEUR (not ‘Le Posseur’), which means “The Grower” (not ‘the Poser’)

QOTD – string theory fascinates me, but then again, so does wine tasting, but on a different level. The look of pain on your face after tasting the Woop Woop was real. Sorry it was so lousy.

What fascinates me? Women.

Good show, and I am glad we finally had a kosher winner. I knew it would happen. The real issue isn’t kosher, it is preconceptions. We’re all human, and we have them. But that doesn’t mean we can’t lose them.

Gotta say my son fascinates the heck out of me. Just to watch him learn new things and work through little obsticles he comes across.

Decent sub $20 sparkling wines are always a good thing.

Very uncool comment about Marino! You must still be ticked off on all the times Marino and the fins took the jets down. I guess I can understand your bitterness. I personally think he is an egomaniac, but one of the greatest QBs ever.
