QOTD: I’ve been working A LOT this weekend to pay my recent travel expenses. My mother & I are going to a pre-fix Easter meal at Opus in Bangor…and that’s about it. Wish I could be there next weekend (with my three wristbands)…but bills need to be paid. Cheers!

QOTD: I’ll sleep most of the day because I work nights (Printing Newspapers). Later, I’ll have dinner with the family. The wine will be 2005 Kosta Browne, Kanzler Vineyard. I’m excited because I’ve never had Kosta Browne and am anxious to see what all the hype is about.

Happy Easter to everyone

Thanks for tasting the Barroux… I’ve got a bottle on the way! Also great to see exactly where the wine comes from, I’d love to be able to take a tour like that someday. The south of France seems to be putting out some great wines from little known appellations (i.e. Ventoux, Cotes Catalanes, etc).

OK on TTT – which, can we move to Fri or Sat ? This weekend a tasting, tomorrow no church as I’m a bad lapsed Catholic. Cheers to you in Sonoma!

Honesty is the best policy and you are a much better person when you keep to that policy.
So what if you lose a “friend” because you score their wine low – it means that they were never a real friend in the first place if they cannot take any critique for their wine.

Stay true to yourself!

QOTD: Saturday and Sunday spending it with with family. It’s also my wife’s 39th birthday on Sunday so I am sure we will be opening a special bottle that evening – most likely a Chateaneuf du Pape that she adores.

QOTD: Editing my blog, pasting pictures I tooked this week on it, watching WLTV, enjoying my favorite cartoon, cleaning Riedels~ Yeah, and some other housework. That is it.

This weekend I am doing a beer and cheese tasting with friends who normally drink wine only. It is at restaurant/bar that has many interesting American and European beers so it should be fun. I think wine lovers should also like good beer and I am just learning about how good beer can be, after many years of not drinking the normal crap US beer.

This weekend is very chill, gonna play some Civilization later today, after heading down to the Win Lib to pick up my secret packs. I bought the last ones but didn’t want to open four bottles by myself, so I think for the first, I’ll do the one, and save the other two to share with friends — because that’s what it is all about, after all.

I just might have to grab a couple bottles of Mr. Gimel’s stuff from you. Sounds like a great value for 24 bills.

QOTD: Celebrating my birthday. Going out to a nice restaurant. Big shout out to all of my peeps in Fort Worth, aka “Funky Town”, who know and love one of our few great restaurants, St. Emilion. I’ll be throwing back the 03 Mongravey there. We’ll see how it does. Also, dinner and good wine with good friends on Sun.

It is going to be close to 80 degrees in San Diego so we are going to the nursery so the wife can buy lots of plants. Damn the bad luck, we will have to pass right by my favorite wine shop. Might as well make a stop there and combine trips with the cost of gas these days. Have a great Easter Weekend to all the Vayniacs.
