Nice show. Perhaps its my chameleon-like ability to pick up on accents. I speak like whomever i’m speaking to – in several languages. My Spanish in La Paz is different than in Lima (although crappy in either locale) as is my English in NYC or Mississippi. It can prove handy sometimes, but troublesome others.

QOTD – my honesty in all aspects of life, which is sometimes also my downfall.

good show today. maybe it was not as ’spectacular” as the other days “mailing list” show, but none the less. it is a show of a small house producing wines that are of the track a bit. maybe i am just out of touch and everyone knows these wines. it is not where i play.
QOTD: whit, humor, insight loyalty. sorry for a few, but what can i do. it is a wine blog, not my final exam.

That’s such a funny anecdote about Michael Irvin. It’s great how you can think of these things off-the-cuff. I don’t know that I can do that! My most salient characteristic is curiosity. I am curious and inquisitive. Did you know that Irvin is one of 17 children? I was curious and looked him up .

QOTD That I tend to use my emotion to decide whether something is right or wrong rather than my brain

QOTD: I don’t know if there’s one particular characteristic that makes me unique, more the combination that does it. I’m a mining engineering student who plays the fiddle/violin and enjoys water polo.

QOTD: That even though I’m cynical about many things I laugh at everything that I experience, I always find some way to laugh about the good and the bad.

Awesome as always!

QOTD: Supergeek.

QOTD: My unflinching objective realism. Even if it’s something I really don’t want to see/know, if it’s true, I see it. And even if it’s something I really do want to see, if it’s not there I don’t see it. I’m insanely perceptive. My blessing and my curse!

Great show – please keep rockin’ the T-Shirts – they’re really fun!

QOTD: I tend to have a great amount of patience with people and situations. . .

Great show!

Our Third Thirsty Thursday tasting group (that meets on Friday) was moved from this Friday to next, but we’ve met each month since March. We were total strangers at the start- pretty cool.

Interesting to hear about an area and winery I’m unfamiliar with. Fun show. Mott is so under appreciated…

QOTD: Unique implies one of a kind, so I guess my only truly unique characteristic would be my DNA…

My aura is my most unique characteristic. Hey, I’m west coast, not far from the Santa Cruz Mnts.in fact. Yes it is my unique aura…can you see it?…can you see it now?

Great to see Santa Cruz on your show. When I grew up there 40 years ago (am now in Western NY) there were no grapes. The hills were alive with another cash crop that you might give a sniffy sniff to but would not drink…

GV, I like it when you compare several wines from the same winery!!

Good show, and Mott was on point today!

QOTD: I never give up on what I believe is right, and good.

David Dadekian
QOTD: My goofy sarcasm, which comes out less and less as I get older so I should probably reverse that.

I like when you compare one winery – your honesty in all of the tastings ROCK!

Nice camera job Mott!!

QOTD: My ability to make people feel comfortable in any situation…an easy thinking way of life! 3 questions I ask myself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? of what I am about to say or think!! Compassion is a virtue!

Enjoy!

QOTD: My insatiable appetite for knowledge.

QOTD (again) : inability to spell my own name (See prevous post)
And : I am father to the most beautiful girl ever, anywhere (speaking purely objectively of course )

QOTD : I am an I.T. bod who a) doesn’t drink coffee, and b) thinks I.T. is about people more than it is about technology
