Hey GV,

Can’t wait to see you back on Monday, have a great MD weekend. I hope the trip went well!

QOTD – Never had a Tocai, and honestly before this show I had never heard of it. I’ll have to put that on the list.

Dude: First, kudos to you for bringing in a younger generation and introducing them to the exciting world of wine. That’s your shout.

Second, learn to PRO-NOUNCE grapes, wineries, and places. FREE-U-LEE! Not FRU-E-LEE. DA-FAY, NOT DU-FO! The only thing you appear to pronounce correctly is your name. Though only your family and Mott might know the truth.

Third, have your mom clean up your room and put the toys away. Also have her wash the shirt or don’t wear it two shows in a row. And put the Pepto Bismal in the medicine chest.

WHO roots for the Jets? That’s like rooting for the Lions but with an attitude.

Have a good weekend and keep em’ coming.

Definitely had Tocai before, good stuff, but never have been blown away like that before. Wow, going to look for the Bragato, need to see what a 94 GV is all about.

Don’t the locals have that with prosciutto? Maybe you should have had some food to go with that, it is laid back Friday after all.

Sure, but this isn’t about the Tocai Friulano today. It is all about that crazy precision spitting you’ve got going on!

QOD: No, but I have a SiÑch (does that rhyme with beeyotch, I wonder) around here somewhere. A little too wet for outdoor white action just yet.

QOTD: Almost certainly. I drank so many wines when I lived in Italy that I have vague memories of at best.

So in honor of being #1 on the comments today for the first time ever (started watching at ep. #4), I went out and bought a NJ Lottery Pick 3 ticket with the numbers 4, 7, and 1 since it was episode 471. Guess what…I lost.

Trust you’re enjoying a well-deserved vacation. You know the old saying: In beer there is strength, in wine there is truth and in water there is bacteria. So don’t drink the water. QOTD: Nope, never, but will.
