I am really compelled to buy a wine that you describe as lemon creme brulee….mmm, anything desert-ish!

So, I really appreciated the MY Little Ponies today for the ladies! I used to love those, and I actually had one of the ones you displayed

I am passionate about my loved ones, dancing, cooking/food, homeopathy, fitness & beauty, good people, culture, history…and I think I wrote enough without giving you my bio.

Passionate about the ‘77 & ‘78 Yankees, specifically Thurman Munson. I was 10-11 years old, totally into little league and cable TV just came to our town so I got to watch the Yanks on WPIX. I was the catcher on my team (happened to be the Yankees) and immediately connected with the Yankee captain. Totally crushed the following year when the big man went down in that Cessna.

I’m really stoked to see the clos du prieur on the show. I’ve had the previous vintage and greatly enjoyed several bottles of it and definitely agree with your assessment of the wine.

Right now other than family and wine I’m really into setting up my 1982 BMW 318is for the 24hrs of LeMons with my friends. http://www.24hoursoflemons.com

Great show today GV, I am down with the pretty ponies. I bet we have 30-40 of them left over from our daughters. Really enjoy all the French wines. I am trying as many different French wines as I can find and afford.
QOTD: I am super passionate about our Men and Women in the Military. God Bless Them.

Mott! Check your links. There is no Ripasso this ep’. Need to slide the Rustenburg in.
QOTD: Real food. The home made from scratch kind. Good bread, good cured meats, good fish, home made pasta, good produce, local stuff. The kind of things that make good wine that much better.

QOTD: Knowledge (truth as authority, not authority as truth) and Freedom (remember the end of “Braveheart” after Wallace was killed and the Scots met the Brits on the field for a formal peace and the big red haired guy threw the sword in the air as if to say you cant just give us freedom we are going to take it…thats what I’m talking about!).
