Sorry you weren’t more impressed with the wines today. But you did a great job assessing them and we appreciate that.

QOTD: Carl’s obsession is probably DIGG. I’m really stuck on Stumbling for Painter sites.

Thanks to our Vets!
QOTD. Absolutely, the Thunder Show. It is a must watch for me. My QOTD is, what could the 16 internet wine video shows possibly be that rank ahead of WLTV. I honestly can’t name a single other wine video show on the internet. How could there be 16 others????

QOTD: I’m prone to procrastination, so it’s easy for me to get “obsessed” with just about anything that keeps me from doing what I ought to be doing. http://www.orisinal.com is fun, or I can sit and search Google or Wikipedia for random crap for days on end. Pandora is definitely cool, but I usually stick with Rhapsody b/c I also like to take music with me on my phone. I end up using it a lot. I’ve found a lot of music I wouldn’t have otherwise found just by browsing Rhapsody, and it’s also nice that it helps to keep my portable playlist from getting too stale. Also, http://r33b.net/ ……

QOTD: Current ‘net obsession, Google Earth, is an extension of a general obsession with maps/geography/places/armchair travel. Earlier obsession was MacNN forums, but finally tired of a couple or six buffoons of the Glen Beck ilk. Just got over that when I chanced on WLTV, which more than nicely fills the void.

Hi Gary,
I am a new to the podcast – and I LOVE IT. I am now a vaniack – not sure that is how you spell it – but I am a proud vaniack – I am going to spread the THUNDER. Thank you for being you and sharing your sniffy sniff with us. I am enjoying trusting my palate and the sniffy sniff – just adds so much to my wine experience.

QOTD: Definitely WLTV and other podcasts etc….

Pandora is awesome I found that last year and it really is a cool way to hear music. Love to mix genres.

GV you are smokin if you think the Jets are going to do it next year….

Good show, Gary. Kudos to Weir for trying something different — and you for putting it on the show.

Regarding the Lynmar, I like the Russian River chard, but their killer chard is the Quail Hill Vineyard chard.

I’m also a fan of some of the d’Arnberg whites. I think you might find The Hermit Crab to be an interesting wine and an exceptional value.

QOTD: watching the election evolve on the RealClearPolitics.com polls page (and on InTrade.com)

You must be wondering why your number slumped this month…I will list some web sites I visit everyday so if they are ranking higher I will take them off my bookmarks.

QOTD: WLTV, Wine Spectator, Yahoo Finance, and the idiot Perez Hilton.

QOTD? Its the WLTV, baby.

I’ve been hanging around on the internet in one form or another for so long, it feels so rare to find something as new and exciting as this show. This is the one thing I never, ever just skip over in Google Reader after I get home from work.

Though, there’s one other really terrific thing I should be pointing people to, head over to: http://www.playingforkeepsnovel.com. The podcast of the book may be done, but that doesn’t mean you can go back and listen from the start, its wonderful novel, read by its author, Mur Lafferty, in 15 parts.

Though, as I’m listening (a week late, mind you) to the last episode of that, I’m stuck looking for a new place to find some quick podcasting story fixes.
