Thats adorable at a high level. Too bad two of the wines didnt work out today, and dammit for one of them being a Washington wine. I had hopes! QOTD: I can embrace him, but not go rolling down the hill with him. I dont like getting smacked in the face with Hacksaw's 2x4, either. I mean aside from the point of it hurting, hes not the cleanest wrestler I've ever seen. God only knows how dirty that damned thing is from traveling and whatever else he does with it. HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!.... and because my mind is wandering: United States, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru....... How can you not love Vivian? Thats adorable at a high level.

Anybody read “A Melon for Ecstasy” by John Fortune and John Wells? I’m just kidding. I don’t do anything unusual like that. I just have the wife dress up like a tree and use that oak perfume I bought her. Hey, Josh in Burgundy, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.

I voting for the Oakmon, dah! Someday I’ll probably have expanded my appreciation of wine flavors enough to back slowly away from the Oakster, but that’s not where I am now. I presently prefer wines where I can taste the oak. I’m up to ep #407. In a couple of weeks I’ll probably be current. I haven’t responded in a while but obviously I need to respond to this QOTD.

The B.A.G. taking out the other wine glass was classic too. I saw that coming. QOTD: I like the Oak Monster to come for tea, but not stay for dinner.

If it qualifies as a monster, I am against it. But there are exceptions: some heavily oaked wines that taste of luscious, expensive oak. I can enjoy this from time to time.

I am not against the sublte nuances oak can impart however I am not for over oaking, if I wanted that I would just become a dendrophiliac or something like that. I kid I kid. Anyway I am voting for the third party candidate MOTTSTER!! Galvez guy hit the nail on the head.
