Sorry G-Man I wish I was a better motivational speaker, but when it comes to the JETs season I have know good news to share.

QOTD: Friday in the Wilmington…oh poor Friday.

Brew-yee, Brew-yeeeeeee, no “l”s but one has to love “pancake covered paper and worm guts” love it.

Actually, i just stopped and bought a 6 bones Chard from Australia (Kilda) on my way home and surprisingly, i won’t dump it down the drain!

Again, I understand your pain with Jets. There are soooo many horrendous teams out their and I wonder if “parity” is a good thing. If the Jets wins ONE game, please, please, beat the Redskins. They are talking Super Bowl in this town. Unbelievable.

QOTD: I will be attending a wine tasting with some real “pros” (a wine pro/chef friend and fellow foodie from NM who I have yet to meet but email now and then) at the end of this month. I will be totally outclassed but it will be so much fun. Maybe I can use the “worm guts” description?

Go Colts and the Tribe tonight and last but not least, the Pats are cheaters.

Cheers!

Good show, as usual; too bad none of the three wines ended up being an 95-pointer, but the Beaujolais looks interesting. I’m not a big fan of sour wine, but for USD6, it’s at least worth a go.

QoTD: A local specialty grocery that has a decent wine room is hosting a tasting this Saturday; how can anyone say “no” to a few free sniffy sniffs / tastes?! I’m going to try to convince a few fellow GSC’ers to come along.

QOTD: Well of course I will be having wine this week, but our next tasting will be our regular Friday night at the WIne Cellar here in Richmond, followed that same night by a dessert and wine pairing even at a local restaurant. HELLZ YEAH!!

My questions to you: On the OneLastThingToSay page(I couldn’t see the whole video, you mighta covered this) there was the wristband form. I already filled it out about a month ago, do I need to do it again or do I just trust the system? Oh, and I forgot to call the number (waited until end of episode and followed link) was that important?

QOTD: Usually on Friday nights, local friends watch old off-air cartoons on DVD to lighten mood.

Welcome back, Gary. Does dinner count as a wine tasting? If so, my next wine tasting will be in about half an hour. We’re having chicken curry and I figure to bring up either a Gewurztraminer or a Viognier.

Hey Gary I am going to have to disagree with you on the Arnoux C.D.V. I thought this wine was very enjoyable and evolved into something special after being open for a few hours showing a wonderful strawberry shortcake component, just lovely vanilla, red and dark fruits with that great earthiness. I think I had a great bottle and you had a bad.

QOTD: Next Sunday at home, with my husband and my brother, while watching NFL football. Haven’t decided what to open yet!

U wish my wife was yours
Woo Hoo!! I’m the first one to bitch about the Facebook link. NO! NO! NO! NO! Don’t wanna, not gonna. Just don’t like those type of sites. I’ll be your friend though…don’t you feel special now?…so consider this your “friend up”. LOL

QOTD: Who knows? For us, those things happen spur of the moment.

Great scavenger hunt Gary! And Thank You for the “Sniffy Sniff” Haven’t heard you say that in a while.
QOTD: Friends and family get together every Sunday for supper and we have at least 2 different wines, sometimes 3. It’s never anything fancy or formal, but we have a great time hanging out together and there are always new faces each week.

We still love our Cubbies! And our Bears, especially after that beautiful performance last night.
My next wine tasting is tonight in my room at Culinary School, followed by one in my Beverage Management class tomorrow. I think i’ll go for something Spain-y.
