Gary, it is great to have you back…I seriously hope you get some love in the comments today. It’s also great to see the Mott-ster infront of the camera. My planned vacation is two fold…One is Oregon the first week of the New Year (in fact…I’m already back from it) I also hope to get back out there for OPC for the industry. I’d also like to try to get to the fingerlakes or someplace like that…but time will tell. Welcome home

NNNNNNNoooooooo! Not the sniffy-sniff!! If you retire it, we must celebrate! With free shipping!

Great intro! When I saw Mott sitting there I was thinking, “Uh-oh”

QOTD: A wine vacation? I’ll be happy just to get a vacation this year!

Nice of you to give Mott the chance to enjoy the Giants’ glimmer. You’re looking greatly refreshed from the break.

QOTD Will definitely look around Walla Walla (already Google-Earthed the wineries) on our way down to visit my kid brother snowbirding in Phoenix, probably in March. He’ll be looking for us to bring down some Okanagan juice, too.

QOTD:…eh…not yet, but good suggestion!
I’m still searching for those Torrontes in my most visited wine shops, but still not a one yet…Whatever, I’ll get them!

Great back episode, great return.
All the best, and balabalabalabala…:)

Welcome back, GV! My Super Bowl nightmare would have been Dallas-New England, can any two QBs ever be more hyped than Brady-Romo?

QOTD – Taking my wife for her first trip to Napa Oct 9 – 12th, already set to visit with the Seps at Storybook Mountain Winery in Calistoga

Well, as always, you have lifted me up out of my doldrums. Glad you are back. I have been mourning for 24 hours so it’s time to move on.

QOTD: I’ve always wanted to go to Strasbourg and take the Alsatian wine trip. On top of that, I plan on stopping into your abode unannounced and having a “sniffy sniff” of Dom with you.

Cheers!
Dom

P.S. My ONLY incorrect prediction through the entire playoffs so far was, of course, the Colts!

QOTD: I am flying my best friend from Florida sometime later this and we are going to do a Napa Valley trip. Its pretty much in my backyard. We both turn 21 this year so its time to break out of our cacoons and turn into vayniac butterflies…

Go Pats!

Good to have you back, Gary. Hope you’re vacation was at least somewhat restful, even with all the Vanyiacs begging for your return.

QOTD: Okanagan Valley, BC. for sure. We go there every year, as it’s only a few hours from my home in Vancouver and absolutely beautiful. Be nice to make it to Walla Walla as well.

Uh oh….someone is checking craigslist and the job ads tonight

Welcome back, nice to see Mott up there supporting the Giants and to see Gary back.

QOTD: Planned wine vacation, either visit Wineries in Washington when my brother moves up there in May and/or if I move to the east coast ill have to stop in at the Wine Library and be awed.

Happy Monday – glad to see you up to your usual antics – slopping wine all over the place (I know…I know it’s for the homies) – and generally having a good time.

QOTD: No wine trips planned for the year. . . although all of us at AmericanWinery are planning a trip to Sacramento (we are driving, so maybe a pit stop or two) for the Unified Wine and Grape Symposium at the end of this month. I’m sure we’ll be tasting (drinking?) wine while there. Is that a show that you would ever attend?? We’ve never been so just curious what it’s like. . . .

QOTD: Columbia Valley/Walla Walla, I’ll stop by Springfield NJ too.

Welcome back Gary!!
QOTD- I don’t have a wine vacation planned as of yet, but 2008 just started

Great episode. I was just in an Italian restaurant this weekend where their wine list was full of Nero D’Avola and I had know idea what they were. QOTD: Washington State

Pity, the Morgante used to be available locally, but now it isn’t. I think the only Nero available out here in the stix is the Feudo Arancio. I tried it once and it didn’t get my attention, but then I was a little busy.

When I vacation I like to drive, so I don’t know if I want to mix that with wine so much.

Gary,

Welcome back.

Still waiting to do my first wine vacation ever – this year will again be an imaginary one.

GO GIANTS!!!
