    QOTD: Tonight I’m going to go to work. I work at a steakhouse, and I will serve wine and give people cooked meat. Then I will look at random Wikipedia articles until I fall asleep. I will not drink wine tongiht because I have a drinking problem and am trying not to drink. I want to thank the Vaynernation for their support during this difficult time of my life.

    GV… Never a sheep, always a wolf. Fell in love with wine thanks to a Merlot I had a friend’s house (don’t recall the label). Sideways as a movie was fun, but not helpful to the industry with it’s unnecessary poo-poo’ing of the Merlot varietal. I’ll drink @#$%ing Merlot anyday!;)

    And that is why I don’t drink much Merlot $36 to $45 Bones you can buy some really good wine.The last Merlot I liked was a Rutherford Hill 2002 for under $20 was very good but as you know $20 will buy some really nice wine if you know where to look.
    QOTD… not much a bottle of Guenoc P.S. allready in the decanter

    QOTD: I’ll probably watch a movie or something.
    You should go way over the top with WLTV merchandise and offer key chains, calenders, oak monster wrist watches, sexy lingerie, coffee mugs, etc.

    Found another “tomato” reference for a Clerendon Hill wine – tasting notes for the 2003 Liandra Syrah.

    I’ve never sensed tomato in a wine, but I have a few bottles of Clarendon Hill things and I’ll look out for it.

    I’ve probably been drinking more Merlot over the last year than any other single varietal. Love those Columbia Valley (Washington) merlots. Speaking of which, you gotta try the 2005 Hogue Merlot from Columbia Valley. EXCELLENT QPR.

    You can’t have a serious Merlot Thunder Show without a Washington representative.
