QOTD: Gosh, I was born in ‘66, so can’t really speak firsthand. But I love the whole spirit of adventure/questioning and individuality that seemed to infuse the culture in the late ’60’s, in spite of the violence and sadness that may have inspired some of it – or resulted from it.

hmm, the sixties…. how about for the first time since reconstruction the federal government actually tried to ensure that everyone, regardless of race, could vote, and that segregation was illegal. the government actually stood up for true democracy for once. of course, things still aren’t perfect, but that was a pretty good start, and we have a lot of dedicated, courageous activists to thank for their efforts.

good show today.

QOTD: NASA and the project to put a person on the moon. This was probably the last time this nation had a goal that generated so much interest and commitment. Also, let’s not forget the GB Packers and their two super bowl victories in 67 and 68!

Hey, Alex, I was +23 in ‘64, and like the Martini, was charming in my (relative) youth. You’re right, the music was the incredible background for all the landmarks and milestones. Those would include marriage in ‘64, Expo 67, wife & I experiencing Europe at The Queen’s expense, some fine automobiles, Sputnik, the Kennedys’ (Camelot, came-a-lot and tragedy) and Man on the Moon.

Gary, who finishes off the bottles when you don’t pour them out with disgust into the spit bucket? Cool show, now let’s see some Frenchies send you a series of 1940s wines.

Q.O.T.D. I don’t remember the 60s, so I must’ve been there.

Lawrence Leichtman — that redwoody note in Martini (and others) from the ’60s probably reflects the fact Martini was still using redwood fermenters, and maybe even big redwood casks for some aging. It could impart a noticable aroma and flavor, not especially desirable, that tended to disappear with age.

Gary, great episode, I wish I was in Jersey this weekend. I think I am finally caught up on the WLTV’s, I was a bit behind this seek.

The staging of the moon landing of course! — okay, just kidding. Really. Seriously. Not a conspiracy theorist.

But its gotta be the New York Mets.

Oh, and its a little late, but I’ll be (was) there tomorrow (yesterday)! I can’t thank you enough , GV, it was as much fun as I can remember having in years.
