Fun Fact from yesterday: The longest recorded champagne cork flight was 177 feet and 9 inches…

QOTD: I am passionate about learning. I love learning a lot about the universe, but really the more I learn the happier I am. It could be anything from science to cultures.
I guess that is why drinking wine can be a lot of fun – I have learned so much in the past two years!

Thanks Gary!

P.S. I have smelled My Little Pony in wines before… It brought back some childhood memories

Still couldn’t leave a comment on ep #430, BTW. Anyway, great show – a lot of fun. And I am one of those peeps who have all three wristbands (and I sent Mott a photo to prove it).

QOTD: I am passionate about my Cleveland Indians – GO TRIBE! I am also passionate about my job at NASA (well, most of the time, like when I don’t have to deal with political BS and bureaucratic crap).

Great show Gary!

QOTD: Probably music, specifically singing. There’s a tactile and audible quality that separates it from our normal, visually based life. It might also be why I like food and wine so much (i.e. the tastes and smells).

Yo Gary… just started watching your show a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. I’m young, and trying to get into tasting more wines, and your passion is helping me to WANT to expand my pallet. Last summer I took a road trip through Edna Valley, and I tasted the Chardonnay from Tolosa, @ Tolosa, which is just a beautiful place. Sad to see you didn’t score it better, because I tasted more grapefruit on there at the vineyard, and it was awesome. If you get a chance or do a show on Pinot Noir, I think you should check out Kynsi Winery. Excellent Pinot… a little price (40-50 bones range) but great stuff.

QOTD: Traveling… I get to go to France, Spain, and Italy in a few weeks, and I’m pumped about trying all the wines there. Good times.

Gary has been holding back?? I look forward to episodes next week where he’ll likely be sniffing and whirling wines from Southern France and Canada with his eyes closed and describing their human attributes while eating something. Thanks for the tip about Edmeades! Always looking for an everyday wine to stock up on.
