    I watched a bunch of old episodes on the plane last week when I went on vacation, so I’m catching up now.

    Raspberry pop tarts are nasty, I don’t know how they went so wrong with that flavor.

    I liked the randomness of this show, anything was possible.

    QOTD - OK, you took the easy ones (Family & Wine!). Other than that I’m not sure I have a passion, the study of History comes close, or good Sci-Fi & fantasy, maybe the odd Strategy game on the PC.

    Other than family and wine? What else is there?
    I am passionate about college basketball - to get a bit more detailed - March Madness when my teams are thriving, namely the UConn Husky men and women. 2004 - first time in college basketball history that both the men and women won it all in March Madness. Doesn’t get any better than that!

    That makes you 2 for 2 on enjoying Rustenberg. The winemaker is Adi Badenhorst, who is quite a character. Would love to see the 2 of you together.

    Gary, thanks for the show. I wanted to be up there at the WL with all of my fellow Vayniacs, but it just wasn’t possible. Hope you guys had a great time.

    QOTD: I am passionate about my faith, my friends, and trying to make a difference in people’s lives. I believe we were meant to live for more than what we live for, in general, and I love connecting with peeps and sharing a glass of wine and good conversation with them.

    QOTD- Motorcycle sport touring. Motorcycling exercises your pal(ate) in a whole new dimension. If you haven’t tried it get out on a motorcycle and smell the world.

    P.S. Try the Mulderbosch Chardonnay sometime - great SA chard without the oak monster.
