Sometimes watching your show kills me. Trying to find a Beaujolais at $12 here is hard, nevermind $6. While you’re changing [sorry...WE're changing] the wine world, can we change that too?

QOTD: Wine tasting is in my dining room Saturday mid-day. Got a wine scored 98 by RP in the lineup. Looking forward to it.

A solid appearance on nightline Gary…For what is worth, you did already change my wine world…
QOTD: Might go to the Ottawa wine festival (Nov. 2)
Cheers

QOTD: My kitchen wine rack is about 15 feet from where I am sitting, so probably over there and probbly right now.

Man! The Jets can’t give my beloved Redskins a little help? Could you try to help us out when you play the Cowboys and the Eagles? Of course the ‘Skins will throttle the Jets’ sorry asses.

Gotta love the Cru Bojos! Keep the faith buddy!

QOTD: Probably in Laurel MD.? Why?

QOTD: Next organized “wine tasting” – our monthly group in late October or early November.
Next taste of wine – a 2002 Kenwood Yalupa Shiraz (rough nose, silky smooth body, a bit too green on the finish) one second after I hit the “add comment” button below.

Oh.My.God. Your video string is absolutely HILARIOUS, but do not EVER nerd it up in such an “elegant” manner again or you’ll have to move to Wine Spectator where that tree-up-the-ass (no, scratch that, not tree, FOREST) attitude is acceptable, haha.

Your jump the shark video is the funniest thing I’ve watched in a long time, I laughed so hard, I scared the crap out of my cat, sitting on the beck of my chair. Scratched the hell out of my neck trying to run away.

Anyway… You just keep doing your thing the way you do and screw what anyone else says. You are one of the most fun people to watch, and hun, if you ever start charging for your videos, lessons, or information, I’ll be right there, credit card in hand, because you are THAT great and the amount of knowledge, teaching, insight, and info you have given me is worth more to me than anything you could ever want to charge.

Gary, I adore you!

Hey GV, I think the Niteline directors cut was your best regular TV appearence yet. You knocked it out of the park!

FWIW, being a Broncos fan isn’t so hot either – worse home loss ever yesterday (41-3 ) to the Chargers! Aaaaargh !!!!!
….. at least we have the Rockies !

QOTD – Tomorrow nite – here at the house – going to break out a new Oregon Pinot out for the 1st time with some pork shish-ka-bobs. Can hardly wait !

Cool ep Gary. Sorry about the Jets – my bro is a huge fan and he’s wallowing in despair too. Keep your chin up!

QOTD: This Saturday. “Wines of the World” BYOB at my house. No California, Washington, Oregon or any “American” wine allowed. (We all tend to be California-centric here). I think it’s going to be a blast.

Aargh, facebook. I thought I was the last American under forty without a myspace or a facebook.

Don’t worry, I’m about ready to cut bait on Chad too.

QOD: first weekend in April, the largest charity wine shindig in town. It’d be fun if I weren’t actually kind of working, but oh well.

QOTD: Next wine tasting is tomorrow at my favorite restaurant. The theme is Bordeaux. We are tasting wines from around the world and are in France for the month. Enjoyed the bargain wine theme. They can’t all be good.

QOTD: At my house, since there isn’t that much in Tennessee. Speaking of Tennessee, I really, really, really, wish I could order win out of state. I’m so embarrassed for my state!

Sorry about the Jets, but at least the home team (a team that has won a super bowl in our lifetimes) won.

You know man, sometimes you just can’t win ‘em all – be it Jets or cheap wine. But (in perfect surfer intonation) no worries bra!
