So has Mott made legal drinking age yet. I kid 42 is my guess. I have had the Ciro many times but did not know it wasn’t Sangiovese. Disappointed in the Travaglini as that is the Gattinara I can get here and I have bought it for over 20 years. wasn’t ‘03 the really hot year in Italy? Will have to get a few bottles of the Antonio as it sounds great. Won’t be in SF as I live 2700 miles away and while both parties sound great at the price of plane fare and gas expense in CA, not likely to happen.

Gary I don’t know where to go to buy a Wristband. There was no buy wristband link in the Schwag section and I also responded to your Seesmic and haven’t recieved a sticker yet either (coolest sticker ever BTW), keep up the good work with your show and can’t wait to see you on Revision 3.

Aw Man, I don’t think I can do either date in SF. A Thursday in July is nearly impossible, and Aug 9 is BarCampHouston. I will be there in spirit, and will maybe see you in Houston again?

I am with the 42 crowd. Mott good job showing Gary how to drink wine! So I will try to clear my calendar for the 7/10 party. Gotta plan some customer visits in the Bay Area around then.

Not that I am one to point out others mistakes that much since I make plenty of them myself, but just a little note for those new to the Bay Area. They don’t much care for having the City by the Bay referred to as “Frisco”. Something to keep in mind if you are trying to be polite and fit in when you are there. No big deal though in any case.

All I have to say is HELL YES! This is the episode I have been waiting for. Honestly, Gary has an overwhelming personality and his human side comes out when he is dealing/talking to other people. The fact that he had Mott come in front of the camera was brilliant. I LOVED IT. I also like having a younger palette to counter balance the expertise of Gary. I have an extremely young palette and could learn a lot from having someone like me have their comments referenced to an experts like Gary’s. This gives me a reference point. LOVED IT and happy birthday Mott.

MOTT at 43! Still going strong!

No way I am driving 14 hours south even for a great party and overwhelming amounts of good vino. But thanks for the invite.
