PS-Tasted Sassicaia (wasn’t told vintage) for the first time. Too young. Still, wow.

Happy birthday Bobby! Congrats for being alive another day on the planet. Forty is what it is, which is better than the alternative. Enjoy it!
QOTD:I’m waiting for some leadership to evolve in this great country of ours before it’s too late.

Brave move with the blind cult tasting. Opus is 0-2 these days?

I’m waiting for more ‘05 Bordeaux to make grad school life better.

Hey Gary, why don’t you give out the wrist bands to the people who didn’t get them in the order that they filed out the “Introduce Yourself Forum”

Good on you Gary. 1 day downtime is not bad for a man that is single-handedly starting a wine revolution. The revolution is catching Gary. Yesterday at a wine tasting a wine I pointed out the bug spray aspect of Aussie Red; they were not so happy. It is not going to discourage me though.

QOTD: Now that I’m in LA, I’m waiting for someone to hire me to play a 15-year-old on some Disney show because that’s realistically within my acting range, even though I’m 22. It’ll be a long, uphill struggle in this town, but I’m ready for the challenge.

Hey Gary, You look like a wino with those paper bags! An expensive wino anyway!
You said you were sick yesterday. Wasn’t self-induced was it?

wristbands… divide the amount left by categories in which you got people (facebook, myspace, forums etc.. whichever seems better) and then jsut randomly select people and give them away.

QOTD: WAITING TO FINISH MIDTERMS >:@!!

QOTD: Waiting for my 21st.

Here in IA the law states “Liquor, wine, or beer may be given or dispensed to a person under legal age within a private home and with the knowledge, presence, and consent of the parent or guardian for beverage or medicinal purposes.” so I’m waiting to be able to buy and taste what I want when and where I want to.
