QOTD:

Music is my passion as many have already suggested:

and first among them Mingus – a turbulent, thunderous and finally passionate man

But I must say I’m glad to see so much passion in WLTV; today’s episode was fun.

p.s. my wife was thrown about your preferences the last wine for a moment. Thought you didn’t like it until the wink.

QOTD: I am passionate about music. Piano is my main instrument, but I will also drum on most things that make cool sounds. I once co-composed music for a play, and played a wooden box for the entire performance.

Thanks for another great show. I think there are a lot of women out there watching this – the vaynerchicks! We love wine too.
What am I passionate about – I love food! Local food, artisanal food, real food! I eschew the mass produced, corn syrup abominations in the average grocery store and seek out those things that are high quality and produced by people with passion for what they do!

I always like Edmeades.
QOTD: I am passionate about my cats: Cleo, Quincy, Tigger, Itty Bitty, Sailor, Josie, Lavender, Babyface, and Pavo; and wine – especially fruity ones, but not too sweet; and of course, family. Also, shopping. And opera is becoming a passion.

Gary, tremendous show! The thunder is back–in you…and that’s what counts:)
Also, a possible Good Deal alert: went to a wine tasting today showcasing Gemtree Vineyards out of McClaren Vale, Australia–wasn’t super excited walking in(who really wants to try more; but was truly impressed by their ‘Tatterly Road’ 2003 a Cab Franc, Petite Verdot, and Merlot blend. Never would have guessed it was a mid-range australian red wine(I think about 14 bones). Some nice sauteed bell pepper, cherry skin, tobacco, good controlled fuit going on. Nice stuff, maybe you sould check it out for the peeps. QOTD: People, Language/travel, and above all Jesus Christ.

QOTD: Music, and honestly I can’t get too much more specific, but I suppose complex jazz and rock would narrow it a bit (but I really like everything, except maybe newish country).
