    QOTD: Jewel Food Stores, a staple in the Chicagoland area.

    I dunno know, GV: I’m really wanting to try the Nora Alberino now, based on the “sniffy sniff” alone!

    ooo 0 for 3 is tough. I like the way you look at it though.

    QOTD: Cub Foods. They are all over the place in MN. I think I might get some meat from a sustainable farm this year, maybe a CSA with SunShineHarvest. We are definitely doing a food garden this year, so soon my own backyard.

    Ouch 0-3. We all have to have those days, I guess. QOTD: Whole Foods. I just find the food ( esp meats and vegetables )to be a better quality. I know its more expensive at times but so worth it.

    Regarding relying on scores when buying wine – how else are we supposed to differentiate? There are so many options, and you have no idea by looking at the region, varietal, producer, vintage, label, etc. how good the wine is inside the bottle. Having at least one expert give a thumbs up is the best lead most of us have when deciding what to buy. Sure, over time we learn and we can make more independent decisions. However, for most of us, relying on ratings is an entirely rational thing to do.

    Gary, I challenge you to a game of paper football. Can you make a 25 foot field goal? I can, promise.

    Dear, dear, gary, it took me almost a week to get thru this vedio, just can not make the connection, while I am enjoying any other episode…Whatever, I finally know what gary will shop for himself. That is great~ And, try everything, I do agree. Thank you, man, and that is it.

    Geez, Gary, that was interesting in the negative sense. Actually, I sort of enjoyed watching you strike out – just like your JETS against my BROWNS yesterday afternoon!!

    QOTD: We shop for food at the local grocery store chain, Giant Eagle. But we also shop at Trader Joe’s for some items and we get meat at Cleveland’s West Side Market, which is awesome.

    I live in Seattle and do my shopping at Trader Joe’s, QFC, and farmers markets. I’m a little sad my local farmers market just closed down for the winter, but Pike Place is open all year round (We just celebrated it’s centennial). Interesting episode; I dug it!

    QOTD – Food shopping at Stop and Shop or my local IGA.

    When I have access, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods (in either CT or NY where they don’t sell wine).

    QOTD: I shop at Publix and at my favorite restaurant/gormet shop. I also shop at several local wine stores to get a wider selection of wines. I try to follow your rule of trying new and different wine from around the world.

    Great to see you shopping for wine again Gary, just like in L.A. That was fun, but now I’m sorry to have missed that meal at Binxxx>? My better half was holding out for ethiopian food, Oh well!
    Loved the high energy you brang today. All the Best GV to you and fam.

    Trader Joes, Whole foods coming here soon.

    Yeah, nice shout to the Cactus Juice! That takes me back…those were dark dark days.

    Egg Nog in wine…is that a good thing? Obviously not. Remind me never to go wine shopping with you! Way to jump on the grenade. Sacrificing yourself for the good of the wine world.

    QOTD: Whole “Paycheck” Foods on a regular basis, but Pike’s Place Market for special dinners like surf ‘n turf night coming up this Friday!

    So I know I am HUGE LURKER(SP?) but, you went 0 for 3 and all your choices had scores and this is illustrating that even you Gary do shop with scores. So, why did you rely on scores…we shouldn’t as you usually say. But, the thing is you can usually give yourself some type of “insurance” when buying since the experts did like them. I know I mainly try to shop for scores and bought wine with scores, that have dissapointed. But is there any chance that you can litterally hit random on the computer and pick any 3 non-scored wines and see how it goes for an episode???
    Thanks for all your help and entertainment you have given me out here.
