    Gary, this show is another example of why I appreciate what you do. You have no fear of the outcome of your tastings. After talking up Merlots enthusiastically, you could only endorse one of the three wines, and that was a qualified endorsement. Nevertheless, this actually enhances your crediblity because it all comes down to letting us know what you actually taste. Thanks.

    QOTD: Trying to get those last few jobs done before I take off for the Christmas break, all while catching up on the latest (and a few archived) episodes of WLTV.

    Link it up T-shirt. Excellent Idea! Missed a great value merlot from Washington. It’s the Gordon Brothers 2005 Merlot, which rolls in at about 20 bones. WS gives it a 91 and I must say that I agree. Winelibrary sold it for a while but seems to be gone.

    QOTD – Sitting in bed playing on the internet.

    I’d buy a “Link it up, Mott” T-shirt.

    Funnily enough, I am starting to enjoy Merlot’s now (late 30’s) more that what I did when I was younger.

    Link It Up Mot T-shirt – such a cool idea – has to be a huge finger pointing down.

    QOTD – as I watched the show on Friday morning here in Cyprus, it’s gonna be going down town and getting the last of the Christmas shopping and some wine too.

    Oh…and picking on Camden: you want me to believe you’ve never taken the Outerbridge and past Fresh Kills with the windows down and the summer breeze blowing THAT sniffy-sniff into your car? HA!

    QOTD: Sipping a cheesy Schramsberg Blanc de Noir (meh), finishing the home pages of the new domains I bought our teenage boys as a cheap Christmas gift, and still trying to figure out how to link the xBox 360 to the laptop to make use of its wireless connection to the router upstairs so I can get them on Live tomorrow and out of my hair! (Tomorrow night: caroling at the old folks’ home with the Germania Maennerchor)

    Love the show and am wondering if you have heard of the wine. Sounds kind crazy the way they process the wine. http://www.winebother.com/

    Glad you mentioned alternative decanting methods. I have been decanting in my coffee press. Looking forward to the christmas pack show…

    Tonight searching real estate ads online and listening to the planes fly over.

    Thanks for the show GV.
