    QOTD- This weekend taking a case of assorted gems from Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Australia, California, Oregon, and Washington, along with a 3 Liter of 97 Barolo, on a guys golfing weekend at Bandon Dunes. We like to think of it as aiming fluid or as a supplement to the Ibuprofin to keep as going.

    Oh man, you must have changed AJ’s diapers a few times :-) . LOL GV has near instantaneous recall of memory. That really is amazing. You should go on Jeopardy!
    QOTD: I’m having some Winner’s Tank Shiraz (hey, that’s a Syrah)… just using up leftovers :-) . I think GV rated that 89 or so. Yup, this is good shtuff.

    QOTD: TR Elliott Russian River Pinot Noir with some salmon tonight and seeing how dinner isn’t entirely planned out for the weekend that’s about as far as I can go for the moment.

    QOTD: This weekend is reserved for my latest buy – a bottle of Ronan Cellars 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaker, Ron Frudden makes a nice bottle of wine and it’s a great value at only $15/bottle. Check it out!

    This was a great week – you have got to do a Head-To-Head, Rocky Vs Ivan, week again sometime soon as it was a lot of fun to watch and very educational.

    QOTD – invited to a friends for Swiss rockette (sp?) so as it’s cheese, it will be a white wine.

    I might think twice before using the dancing pooping two-year old line to describe a bottle to customers. But anyway.
    QOTD: tonight, I’m sharing with some friends my first homebrew to win an award in a competition–a blend of 75% Belgian blond ale, 25% (homemade)chenin blanc wine.

    I have zero thats right zero arm bands. I was waiting for Gary to retaste the wine he poured back and say “on second thought it tastes like copy paper mixed with hewlett packard toner ink.

    QOTD: A Chinon, My wife and I just watched the Loire Valley episode and Gary made us promise to try one this week. I can’t wait to see if I can smell the wet dog walking through a manure field like Gary spotted.

    Andy & Edie

    QOTD: Going out to The Rex here in Billings with my wife Edie so I’m not sure what we’re having yet. She really like’s Sauvignon Blanc and so do I, but I really like everything and she’s not as much into reds. I haven’t found a kind of wine that I haven’t liked some bottle of. I usually drink about 2 bottles a week with Edie having a taste or two at dinner. I probably like Cabernet’s the best, but my favorite type of wine is probably Chataeuneuf Du Pape (not sure on spelling, but you know the one right :) ) Any Rhone wine I’ve tried has been delicious.
    Anyway, great shows this week! That must have been a marathon to do them all in one day.

    Loved the head to heads this week! You should make a march madness head to head wine bracket, it could be a big vayniac competition. Anyway, i thought that might be fun :)

    QotD: My mother is coming over tonight so I’m popping a Tangley Oaks Merlot. Going to also open a 2003 Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino at some point this weekend.

    …oh yes the wristbands!

    I wanted to order the surprisewinetastingpack but unfortunatly you don’t ship to germany, but because you guys are so cool you are sending a wristband! That’ll be my first then!

    I wish i could turn back time to be there right on time when the others where available!

    But i can’t wait till this wristband arrives! I’ll always wear it whenever a wineglass touches my lips!!….and i drink/spit wine a lot..every day!
