Somehow, I just don’t buy the 90 point score that you gave this wine. Seemed a little bit like lipservice.
Anyways, nice show, love the couch.
This was WLTV with a nice warm fuzzy message to it.

Nice to see the wine get a better score than the last one. Im sure its hard to deal with the hate mail, etc from wine drinkers and winemakers when you call it like it is. Thankfully you didnt have to slam them again. QOTD: I never liked the show. It was just goofy and I found it boring. I did like the professor, though.

I will be honest – just an OK show. I am not crazy about pricey wines, unless I am getting a true pedigree.

QOTD – Definitely Maryann. I would have loved to have found a nice cave on the island, opened up a bottle of elegant Burgundy, and ……..

QOTD: it was a great cast of characters, but if i had to choose just one it would be a toss up between the professor or Gilligan.

QOTD: Mary Ann.

$72 for a 90 point kosher wine seems steep to me. I’m not sure how you can recommend it given the QPR.

As always good information, good show.

QOTD – When watching as an 8 to 10 year old loved Ginger and Mary Ann, now they all are pretty lame.

QOTD: Well, my wife actually owns the entire Gilligan’s Island series on VHS tape (go figure). And I certainly watched the re-runs on TV when I was a kid. I’d have to say that the Professor was my favorite character. Although, if he was so bright, you would have thought he could have devised some way to get off the stupid island!

QOTD: The professor was always my favorite. He was like a refined MacGyver.

Great friday show, eventhough i am watching it on Tuesday and would never i a million years spend $70 on that wine.

Q-The hot redhead.

Gary, Gary, Gary. I feel a little disappointed that you felt like you had to explain yourself so much. That wine did not bring the thunder. At that price, and with that score(no matter how much you hate giving scores), that wine should not be purchased, unless you’re really curious.

QOTD: I love redheads

Never have tried one, I iwll look out for it.
QOTD: Overall, Mary Ann (come on!); the professor was cool — where did you think MacGuyver came from? — but if he could make an FM radio out of coconuts, why didn’t he make a cell phone out of a banana or a plane out of a palm tree and get them off the island?
