QOTD: The biggest thing I want to do is start focusing on Bordeux and Burgundy more and more. Also I am enrolled in the ISG and I want to ace the class as well. Being a Bronco fan it was hard to see those G-Men win but BeliCHICK is a baby so it made it easier for me to be happy for the Giant nation. Way to go Mott!!!

GO GIANTS!!!! Congradulations Mott.

QOTD: Watching WLTV has opened my eyes to the vast number of great wines and alternative sources we have available. I stopped buying wine from my one supplier here and am trying many new wines from different sources including Wine Library. Thanks G-Man.

In the last six months I have gone from drinking Pinot Noir four or five times per week to experimenting with all kinds of wines. Trying to find old world wines and more complex wines to expand my cellar.

Can us non-lurkers see the dancing monkey?

Damn am I psyched for ep 400! This show got me a) into wine…. b) into food more and thinking about how things ACTUALLY taste…. and heck… even started making my own.

I can’t count the number of folks I’ve turned onto wine and the thunder show since. Spread the love!

QOTD: I guess my biggest wine change has been leaving my teatotaling fiance, for non-wine related reasons, and meeting a really fun new gal who spends nearly as much time studying wine as me.

Chad B
QOTD: In the last TWO months I have gone from not liking, not understanding and not drinking wine to being very excited about trying wine! I even had a bottle of Greco Di Tufo with my hot wings during the super bowl, how about that?

Biggest Change – my wife is understanding wine. Before she drank and liked the flavors, but now she really is enjoying it. She has a great ability to pick out the flavors and she is really understanding wine and my fascination with it.

Congrats Mott.

Great Game Sunday WOW!!. I would say the biggest change in the last 6months is trying as many wines as I can and not limiting my budget to $20/$30 bottles. Love the wine and love the show Gary..

QOTD: the biggest change for me has been going to my Wine Club meetings. I started in the fall, and I have gotten to try so many new wines and have a great time! We meet once a month, which usually isnt often enough for me, but it’s a great time and I’ve learned a lot!

It’s monday Gary, and I’m glad you were rooting for the Giants, cause we were too, and they rocked it! woot! Go underdogs!

Hey guys… I have been a lurker for a while, but I just had to post this.

My wife and I have been traveling around Europe a bit, and this past weekend we went to Budapest…. Great city, if you haven’t been it should be on your list.

Anyway, we went to the ‘House of Hungarian Wines’. This was probably the first time that I really spent time ‘tasting’ wines.

You pay about US$25, they give you a glass, crackers, water, and a map and send you to the basement on your own. They had over 60 bottles open to taste. If you ever have a question, or see a bottle that’s not open that you’d like to try, the cellar master is there to help you.

It was a great experience. You can find out more about the place here:

And NO… I do not have any affiliation with the place.

Go NYG

Big ups for the Mott Man. And Gary, once being a Giants fan and then switched to Jets; what is you feeling about this.?.

Greetings from Sweden.
