As far as old school wrestlers go, I was always down with L.O.D. I did love the Bushwackers, though. HATED the Hart Foundation. …back to Oaklahoma. Hate them. Sorry, they stole the Sonics and I will have a anger inside me for them forever. Cant trash the wineries without tasting them myself, however. Sorry again to see just a 1-4. Thats not HOF numbers . QOTD: Well as of now its only the 15th of Janurary, so not a lot of time to have anything happen yet. Id have to see being lucky enough to get a second bottle of the Royal Tokaji 2000 Essencia. According to my wine shop only 3 bottles were allocated to the entire state of Washington and Im lucky enough to have 2 of them (first one I got in December 2008)! I know its a LOT of bones to spend on one bottle of wine (well, two), but its something I can enjoy with family or a wife down the road. Def. something to savor and have fond memories of…..

This show was awesome even though you didn’t like most of the wines. The fact that one was so good made the show, especially looking at who makes it.

Cool show!
Would love to get my hands on some of that meritage!
QOTD – My daughter selecting the University of Vermont to attend college was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me. Also – Eli Manning driving down the field in the final minutes was a shick, but not a pleasant one!

QOTD: One of my co-workers announced that he is moving to Japan in 2 months, so I’m going to have to take over all of his work, at least for a while.

Well, thanks for a really good episode. Glad to see our neighbors to the north produce a wine that appears pretty good.

QOTD – My biggest surprise this year? I really cannot think of any big surprise, pretty boring huh?

I agree with Oregon Jim – Suspicious of Oklahoma Meritage. Gary, if it reminds you of wash state cab/merlot, maybe it is wash state cab/merlot grapes. Please investigate the source of the grapes – a road trip is in order.

Biggest shock this year – The Giants won the super bowl – that’s like Oklahoma Meritage being better than 90% of west coast $20 meritage’s.

Gary, how could you not add the rockers to the list of best tag teams of all time? I mean, they were awesome before Shawn Micheals turned into a douche.

Anyways, I’m from Oklahoma so this is my favorite episode now! I’ve tasted a few 80 ish point wines from Oklahoma. Quite a few not so great as well. I live in San Francisco now (you may remember signing a bottle of beringer white zin). Anyways, i hope to make it to the 500th episode party. Flying to OK next week, I’ll try to pick up a few bottles of the Chapel Creek to bring back for the party!!

QOTD: I’d say it’s probably that a tree in our front yard got struck by lightning this week. Wasn’t expecting that!

Biggest surprise this year? Moving to Wisconsin! Thank goodness my boss is cool and will let me telecommute. . . because I’m not going for my job! Interesting tidbit though: there are 46 wineries in Wisconsin. Can’t wait to see what they have to offer. Maybe you should do a Wisconsin show!

I’m not sure whether to give you points for remembering that I brought the Oklahoma wine, or deduct points for you not being able to recall my freakin’ NAME. Ooohhh, Mr. Vaynerchuk. Good thing you’re such a likable fellow, and I’m such a good friend…. you know I gotta bust your chops on this one!

QOTD: The biggest surprise that I’ve had this year is that time on WLTV when Gary Vaynerchuk actually forgot my name. Yeah, I definitely did NOT see that coming.
