I fell back into lurker mode for awhile, but todayÂ´s show was so much fun I just had to comment…

QOTD: not quite sure if I can pick an ultimate wine trip (donÂ´t make me think so hard on my lunch break!), but I was in Montsant and Priorat last weekend and it completely blew me away. I canÂ´t wait to go back.

QOTD: I’m torn between Valais (Switzerland) and Galicia (Spain). I like the wine, but it’s really more about the people and I spent great moments with great people in both regions.

Wow, I give that episode 90 points (seems to be a theme).
QOTD: Spain, because it does the blend of old and new worlds that you mentioned. And I’ld like to be surprised by the occasional “G’day Mate” from the Aussie winemakers who are beginning to populate the region.

You cracked me up with the scratch and sniff witch reference…what memories. I wonder if that’s what they really smell like?
QOTD: I’d be all over the base of the Andes mountains for some great chilean wine, and some spectacular jungle hikes.
Great show dude.

Oh yes, ask Jim Cramer how is advice on Bear Stearns is holding up. This guy is a joke — as in a total ass.

Book tour Portland? You must do Powell’s. Geez, I might even come down for a signing.

QOTD — Can’t help myself, it would be San Sebastian, Basque. What tapas, what wines!

Hello Gary

Im pissed I didn’t get to finish the show… I was too excited over the special announcment part my browser closed and my laptop takes forever for video crap…

anyway, i am super excited about all of the shows considering i am familiar with all three of them and I am a HUGE fan of MAD MONEY…. CRAMER IS THE SHIZ!!!

i called like 5 dif. bookstores in STL today and im waiting to speak with the district marketing managers of a few places. I am trying my hardest to bring you to St. Louis Gary, and I am currently working on a possible airing with an extremely popular FM radio show here in STL. Much love yo, but FINALS ARE THIS WEEK AHHH!!!

got my secret pack today here in Costa Rica, just in TIME!!!

hey the dog bottle was my favorite this afternoon, BEFORE we watched the show… people were givin me a hard time for it until GV came to the rescue. If that wine was $35, it’d still be a BUY.

QOTD: South Africa… exciting up and comers, some classics, and beautiful throughout…

- Good Luck on your upcoming TV apperances.
QOTD — I think I’d like to visit France & make a wonderful trip of food and wine and exploring of it.
