Vernaccia Wines From Italy, Another White Wine To Pay Attention To.

Vernaccia Wines From Italy, Another White Wine To Pay Attention To. – Episode #457

May 2, 2008

Vernaccia is another classic white wine that is overlooked by so many as they focus on the 1 or 2 white wines they drink from Italy. I hate to pick on Pinot Grigio but I want people to expand their palates.

QOTD:

I am constantly studying leadership…in fact I have a Master’s Degree from Gonzaga University in Organizational Leadership. Being in the military and an Air Force Officer I am always refining my leadership style to fit various situations and learning from the mentors I’ve had over the years.

My question to you would be: Do you consider yourself a leader, and if so, what kind of a leader do you see yourself as?

Not anywhere near a thousand comments yet!

I would probably ask something simple like: “What is your favourite Movie”.

in case you hadn’t heard yet, there was a picture of you from the draft in the los angeles times sports section page 5 on friday. based on the article i’ll let you slide on not doing the book tour in southern cali since the nfl draft will possibly be here next year and imagine you may come for that! . . . i’d ask about the top 3 to 5 bands or musicians you saw live and when and where you saw them play.

Happiest of birthdays to your dear Mum. I don’t care much for gifts, what do we really need anyway? But as a Mom I’ve always asked my kids to write me a letter for my birthday. They are my most treasured possessions, I have kept every one. You’re a good son. Write your Mom, more precious than gold.

Fantabulous episode!! You always bring the thunder. How about a wine store that sells books? Would you be interested in making an appearance? Little town 80 miles outside of Chi-Town!!! Since you’ll be there already a little detour could be fun and you will be welcomed with open bottles!!! Your May sounds like a fun family month!!!! Happy Birthday to the two most important woman in your life!!

Expanding your pal-actually tasted a wine that was full of skittles and I was able to recognize it…pretty wild!!

QOTD: There would be so many questions…it would be hard to narrow them down! Where is/was your favorite place to drink wine-bestest memory regarding wine or what do you hope to accomplish in the future since you have accomplished so much in your young life so far????

Enjoy your mom while you can!!! She sure produced a winner!!

Hi Gary, 2 important things (happy b day to your loved ones too!!) mine was on 4/29 thanks for the shout out and the Costa Rica plug.

1. Book tour: I am well connected with the owners of a LARGE bookstore chain here (Libreria Internacional) and wouldn’t it be cool to come down and do a book signing as well as the other stuff we talked about.

2. QOTD: Which celebrity (sports or otherwise) would you like to share a precious bottle of wine with? (family not allowed)

QOTD: Are you tired? I am just curious to compare energy levels on camera to “chilling” at a bar at 12:30am, and wonder if your always that hyper. Ironically, I usually watch your show in the morning with my coffee cuz it makes me feel pumped for the day. Keep it up =)
