Good show and glad you were honest, as always.

QOTD: Unique characteristic? Unique to whom? If I had to describe myself, I would say it has to be my unbridled passion and commitment to those who treat me with respect and love.

P.S. Having the Rasina Brunello right now. I’m sure it would have spanked the Chance Meritage, Quite nice.

A week from todayyyyyyyyyy I get to meet the G-Man.

Gary thanks you so much for so many good times! Entertainment. I love Indian food and want anybody to help me out for a great wine pairing with such strong “over the top” taste that India brings to the table. Cheers

On the white, if it’s a little sweeter than Kix… Honeycomb cereal is sorta in between Sugar Smacks and Kix. Give it a nibble. I’ve had some wines that are sort of cereal-y and Honeycomb usuallly matches up with the flavor well. A little sweet, grainy like Kix, but not overwhelming and toasted like Sugar Smacks.

By the by, sorry again I couldn’t make it down to Boston tonight after all your warm invitation! I haven’t been staying in touch so it came up rather suddenly. Feel free to come visit us in New Hampshire, too, I feel pretty comfortable speaking for my fellow New Hampster-ites in saying we would love to have you and I’ll strongarm every wine drinker I know to come, to boot!

QOTD: my ability to foster friendships with people across a wide spectrum of completely disparate groups – and bring them all together. “a genius of random people”

Enjoyed the episode and the education.

My most unique feature, I guess my bald little head. And my scathing wit.

Kirk (aka: slave2thevine)
I would say that one of my most unique attributes is that I am a controlled storm of emotion and poise. I have been told that the clarity, calm, and ease of speech that I share my concerns or frustrations can be frustrating. I use passionate vocabulary and thoughtful meaning…but a calm, soothing voice.

Gotta give Mott props, that was nice camera action. I liked the kinda chill episode today after yesterdays Thunderama- nice changeup. Thanks for the show!
Qotd: My over the top, complete, and utter devotion to reggae music. I dont like the reggae music…I LOVE the reggae music!!

Hey Gary, thanks for the show today.

Next episode should be Mott’s Choice: A Sample Of Favorite’s.

QOTD: An uncanny knack for making people feel better about themselves.

I’m glad you gave Clos La Chance a chance.

QOTD: Others seem to feel that my most unique characteristic is that I have a lot of curly/wavy brown hair. I think my most unique characteristic is my piercing intuitive perspicacious nature. Must be the DNA.

Observing people speak with body language; not words. 80% of communications is non-verbal. Body language is a wonderful example of Shakspear’s cliche; “The World is but a stage !”

We are all Actors….some not as good as others.

Great show today, way to call it like you see it, even if those wines would probably be right up my alley.

QOTD: Tenacity, at least when it comes to something or someone I care about I tend to be a little bit aggressive.

QOTD – I’m a dork! A total goofball, no one expects it, and I laugh at myself a lot. I have the hiccups right now.

QotD: I would say my most noticeable unique characteristic is the fact that I’m tall. Most unique, though, is probably my singular inability to determine my own truly unique characteristics.
