QOTD: Jetsinsider.com (that’s how I found this place), FARK.com, and my own politics blog, dailypaulitics.com. And of course WLTV.

Can’t wait to see how the Mike Weir wine is tomorrow.

Great wines do not make a great show; it’s your insights that make a great show.

QOD————Porn!!! (I viewed a few responses and noted noone said ‘porn’, so I had to). Actually Youtube is too cool and so is Wikipedia where every entry is 99.3% correct.

QOTD: Don’t have an internet obession, with the exception of WLTV of course.

Can’t wait for tomorrow’s 4 pack show. Very interesting wines.

If you get to McLaren Vale, d’Arenberg has a fantastic restaurant. Eat out on the terrace if you can and look out over a beautiful part of South Australia. And it’s fun trying all of their wines with food.

Niagara wine? I keep trying them and can’t find anything I really like. Seems like the Rieslings should rock.

QOTD – WLTV of course. Also, can’t live without cellartracker.com, popurls.com, and seatguru.com

Qotd: WLTV – past episodes.

Weird episode and today we had to have my wifes cat put down – 13 yrs old – it was sad. Weird day all around – hoped WLTV would be a little more up beat to end the funk – but I guess when it rains it pours.

Hey Gary, most of us spend the vast majority of our “quality” time with wine on 86-90 point wines… so don’t be so dissappointed with them. 90+ is a bonus for most of us… especially if it can be had for $30 or less.

I agree that we should all quit buying the same wines over and over again. I hate talking to people that say they “love wine” and ask them what they’ve been drinking and they say “I always get ______”. The only way to make the LCB (in PA) stock different stuff is to drink it!
