Great show, good wines, good thoughts.

I am passionate about my work. I work in a very busy pediatric ER taking care of really sick kids and believe firmly that God put me on this planet to do this. I am also passionate about my work with the police department, otherwise why would one do it as a volunteer. I get to right a few wrongs in this world and it does not get much better than that.

Seemingly contradicting succinct answers of the day, I am most passionate about words.

i think that the # of comments has more to do w/ the qotd than anything else….

crista: passion=what you give 100% me holy spirit oh is that Wine???

Gary! What’s with all the late episodes lately??

…probably has something to do with your low comment counts!!! If we don’t know it’s there how can we have something to say!

QOTD: My passion seems to shift every few months, but some that maintain are: Star Wars, Politics, Lord of the Rings, Animation (making it, not watching it…I mean I like to watch it too but, anyway.), Classic Anarcho-Punk, Lord of the Rings, Atari games, Science, Learning new stuff all the time, Drawing/Painting, Wine!! (this one is kind of new!), Design, Did I mention…LEARNING NEW THINGS ALL THE TIME!!!

Tasty show today.

QOTD: The environment. Yep, a treehugger 2.0. That makes me wonder – are there good organic wines?

One of your picks for the next big region was Canada. Mine is South Africa for Chardonay. Yea..that’s probably old news, but lemme tell ya, man am I finding some great wines (mainly Chards) at great prices coming from there. Sure they’re not the Flowers or Hanzells…but, like you said, they roll in at a fraction of the price.

Lve the Edmeades, too. The 05′ was killer.

QOTD: Travelling. Especially to wine specific locales. Going to Walla Walla, WA & Spain this year spefically to taste the regional wines and bring some back.

QOTD: I’m passionate about Dagoba chocolate, making my kids passionate fans of anything (although skulls, pirates, and death seem to be recurring themes at the moment I could live without), reading anything I can get my mitts on, and getting everyone in the world to understand that I’m a goddess.

Also, there are some of us who like that seriously dry stuff without food to wreck it. Nothing worse than a wine that tastes like Kool-aid, but hey, I was raised on my grandfather’s rotgut basement wine that makes chianti taste like a wine cooler.

Good show as always Gary!

Besides family and wine, cruising(cruise ship vacations) is another big passion for me.

Hope to see you Saturday while I’m celebrating my B-Day at the WL store event.
Going to spoil myself silly with wine gifts to me! A whole bunch of ‘em. Or as many as my wife allows because I always say a few bottles and leave with a few cases! The last time I was there(WL) I couldn’t push my cart it was so heavy!

QOTD My passion is teaching and the enjoyment that comes from seeing that spark ignite in kids eyes. Hey Gary it’s pronounced Long Dock in France-that’s what my wife is yelling at me. A great show today full of good energy.

Great Show!!!

I love the Wine Spectator. I rush out and get the new issue the day they are available in my local bookstore.

QOTD: Besides wine, family, and friends, I am extremely passionate about tea and my dog Butters (but I guess he is part of my family…so doesnt really count).

Mott! You fell asleep on linking up the http://garyvaynerchuk.com!

QOTD: Spring training in Arizona. There’s nothing like sitting in a small stadium in mid seventy degree weather with a polish in one hand and an adult beverage in the other watching the greatest game that man has ever invented.
