Not any time recently for looking for fun stuff on line, sorry. And what happened to all those non-west coast wines? Just Texas and NC????

Loved your episode today, Gary V.!! The main reason I love it is because you are helpful and don’t mind promoting other people’s sites, etc.. Way to create good karma for yourself, my friend!! )

Speaking of good karma, for the QOTD:
My friend Salim Nourallah is an amazingly talented musician. (He also likes wine, btw!)
Do you like the Beatles? Crowded House? Wilco? Then, perhaps you might like Salim!

check out his music at http://www.salimnourallah.com and http://www.myspace.com/salim

Solid episode, Gary. Gotta try the Albarino.

QOTD: NBC.com’s FULL EPISODES!!! You can go on to their website and watch full, yes, FULL, episodes of your favorite shows like The Office, Scrubs, Chuck, 30 Rock, whatever. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

Woot is by far the best of the periodic wine sites. Winemaker participation, a great community, and fantastic wines. I’ve found winespies’ selection to be a bit lacking.

I swear, the next time you pour out almost an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF WINE, I am going to hunt you down and make you drink that dump bucket. ARG!

I’m just jealous. I can’t afford much wine (grad school poor) so when you dump it out it’s PAINFUL.

AOTD: Two of my favorite websites are http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/ and http://postsecret.blogspot.com/.

The problem with Albarino you reviewed is apparently the bottle only has one glass worth of wine in it. That just won’t do.

Nice episode. Lodi dose some intersting things with Iberian varieties. Even central coast producres like Baretto Cellars in Paso Robles source these grapes from Lodi. These wines are considerably different from their orld world counter parts – more honeyed and definitely softer and with lower acids. Still intersting and worth trying.

As for the QOTD: I can’t help but engage in some self-promotion and say that the coolest thing I have seen on the web is the willingness of winemakers to explore alterantives in winemaking by participating in a project I stated called project23 (www.23degreeswine.com)

QOTD: won’t provide links to the R-Rated content, but do a video.google.com search on:
1) “Buttrocket” — if you’re ever having a bad day, this is a guaranteed chuckle (mild male nudity)
2) “Cuntry Boner” — MJK’s (Tool, APC) tertiarty side project (Puscifer) goes country (profane language)

Alright show today Gary. However, I must wonder is it still really all about the wine, or are the tangents starting to win out? Don’t you have two minutes somewhere else to explore the tangents?

QOTD: aside from the big-ass glass, I would have to say one of my other favorite new blog/audio sites about running, http://www.steverunner.com.
