    I came across your name watching the Wine Confidential and I had to check you out. I really enjoyed it and will certainly keep watching. I love your approach!

    Ditto on that couldn’t leave a comment yesterday. The comment link wasn’t there…!! Maybe Mott took it off because he’s not getting his Tee Shirt…?? Better keep an eye on him…. ;)

    QOTD: Pool, Guitar, Cooking, Photography.

    GV,
    Good shows last couple of days. Couldn’t comment on the Ripasso episode, so I will here. That is one of my favorite every day wines. Good values, considering the price of amarone. The 2003 Zenato is really drinking well now, probably does not have that funky finish that the 05 you drank has. You should retry in a couple of years.
    QOTD from that episode: My random fact is that I am moving Third Thirsty Thursday to First Thirsty Thursday next week to celebrate my 47th Birthday with some vino and my good friends.

    QOTD today: I am passionate about doing everything I can to prevent colon cancer in our population.

    QOTD – italian food, land rovers, and lots of “quality time” with the misses :)

    What’s up with the apparently spontaneous mood change right after you sniffed the Zin?

    Great show Chuk. Anything less, would be uncivilized.

    Skateboarding is pretty high on the list… I have been skating for like 15 years and I’m terrible, but there’s nothing quite like cutting loose on the streets of New York- it’s got to be a passion – most of the roads here are so gnarly that you have to be dedicated to skate.

    Environmental and social issues – this is what keeps me up at night (last night).

    Ah! No more conversational wink! Otherwise, great show ;)

    QOTD: Coffee. I am a huge coffee geek. In fact, I’m about to go make some.

    Family, family, family. If GV says Mott is like family, then it is time to put the tee-shirt where the mouth is! Where’s the LINK IT UP MOTT shirt, already?
    QOTD: As GV is passionate about his work, I am passionate about my work and communicating the relevant bits to the peeps. The stuff my colleageus and I work on (scientific research that has societal relevance) may not be as much fun as changing the wine world, but seeing it gain recognition in the public sphere is both exhilarating and humbling. Now if we just had somebody like the Mottster to help us spread our version of the thunder.

    QOTD. Cheeses and gourmet foods in general. International travel. Formula 1 and international soccer. Life!

    I’ve loved the Clos the Prieur 2001 and 2003. Glad to see the 2005 is showing nice! It’s a good producer. I’m also glad to see they’ve been able to go back to calling it “Clos” after they had some legal issues I think because the vineyard was not actually enclosed or fenced (clos).

    Ninjutsu – yes the art of the ninja. My girl, and along with everyone else food and wine (I know I will sound biased but I have a thing for crazy Italian varietals). Big ups to Dolcetto and Sagrantino!

    I think it’s great showing the softer side of the show for the ladies; Good job Gary. A little streotypical throwing the white wine at the ladies instead of a red though. Just kidding.

    QOTD- three things I’m very pasionate about besides my wife…Ultimate Fighting Championship- mixed martial arts has absolutely the most impressive athletes of any sport; Art- fine arts, movies, books…I’m humbled by the creativity of human beings; Winemaking- until you make your own I don’t think you can truly understand wine…and everyone…EVERYONE can make their own in their basement, garage, or wherever from juices from all over the world.
