You must come to Lincoln NE if you are serious about the Midwest College FBall tour. Stumbled on to you a couple of weeks ago and now I’m hooked, even bought the 2pack for tomorrow and my wife might actually try it. She hates you less and less each time I make her watch.

QOTD : Royals and Rockies – because no one else is close to where I live.

Oh them dang Tigers. By the time I left my desk & got in my car, they lost it in the 11th inning. I can’t help rooting for them & I know they were in the Series….but it all seems like a dream.

QOTD: The first real day of Spring is Opening Day!!! It’s always about the Houston Astros for me though I will cheer for the Red Sox now and again.

I will definitely be looking for the Water Wheel………

We bought a bottle of that Water Wheel on Saturday! The Bosox already had their opening (2) games in Japan and split. I hope your fantasy baseball draft thing went well(?)!

Middle America is where it’s at, GV! Come by Columbus on a saturday and you’ll get lost in a wave of scarlet and gray, SERIOUSLY! I loved the content today… value-priced wines are brining the thunder for those of us who don’t roll deep in the pockets!

QOTD: The Tribe is gonna take it all the way this year!! Our pitching may be off to a rocky start on opening day, but the offense is firing on all 9 cylinders to hide any flaws!!

I haven’t gotten around to tasting Boarding Pass yet so I was excited to see it on your round table. I don’t normally drink new world fruit bombs when I drink alone so I mainly stock up on new world staple varietals to serve guests. A lot of the times I buy these wines based on critic/customer tasting notes and serve them without having tasted them myself. Maybe I’ll open a bottle alone this weekend and post another comment. No, I’m not going to just pour it down the drain just because you don’t like it! But I really have to give these fruit bombs some credit… because when I leave them in a decanter or in a glass overnight, the next day I smell candied fruit and jam everywhere in my room all day long and it’s really quite lovely. I really do want to try the Mitolo though.

I’m super excited about tomorrow! But I would probably have to hold out until later this week or this weekend to taste along with you.

Oh, and yeah I’m looking forward to this summer because I will be in NYC/NJ more often and I will actually be able to pick up my orders and visit WL for the first time. I’m going to put a small cooling unit in my friend’s place in new york so I can stock for the summer. I would definitely go to a get-together if you were to host one this summer.

QOTD: I’m sorry, I just can’t get excited about baseball. Don’t hate me.

DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dodger Blue Baby!!! Think Blue!!!!!!

No plans. Just got back from a week long trip to San Francisco to visit the bro and sis n law. Great show. I love a solid Aussie Shiraz. Wine Library should go on a road trip. Maybe hit all the baseball parks. Come out to Dodger stadium and do a show at Chavez Ravine.
