QOTD: 8 wins – 8 losses. Favre should have packed it up with the packers.

That first wine has my palate all over it. I need to get me some of that. I like trying most every type of wine. My palate is not loving the Australian Shiraz’s. After tasting and enjoying different wines, I find myself craving a good Burgundy every once in a while. I have some special ones in the wine storage unit. I’ll go hug them.

QOTD: ?

Qotd: I think the jets will end 9-7 or 10-6 and be on the playoff bubble. I’ve been a Packer fan as long as I can remember but as long as Farve is a Jet they are a close #2. I’ll order my jersey as soon as the initial rush is over. It’ll be the 1st time I’ve needed a new Farve Jersey in 6 years.

Glad to see you back in the USA. Thunder Cruise Woo Hoo!!!
Not surprised on the Oregon Pinot result if the winemaker has anything to do with Sine Qua Non wines. They are downright weird wines and expensive. More Burgundies please. Will finally be at Wine Library this Friday. Looking forward to a laid back Friday.

QOTD: Ah, don’t really follow football. One of your fans from London, cheers for the shout-out. And so, I’m gonna follow your tip 16 -0! Man, I wish I could join the thunder cruise.

QOTD:

8-8. Too much pressure on Farve to be the guy. More INTs than last year.

Great show. Love the comparisons.

Jets W 6 L 9 (other)* 1

Game forfeited due to playing the Patriots who cheat again!!again!!

Pinots in Santa Maria Valley are great!

QOTD: NY Jets record 8-8. Favre will not help as much as you hope for, and the AFC is just too tough. No playoffs for you.

QOTD: 16-0…. Gary I know you love the jets, but if you want to urge the lurkers out you gotta ask questions they can answer…
weren’t you gonna talk about your trip to India?
And yes, despite the texture, gnawing on cinnamon sticks is tasty. Personally, I like to put the sticks on top of my coffee grinds or in boiling water to get the fresh cinnamon taste without the bark in my teethe =).

When did we give Oregon to Canada? I’m only counting 2 countries, but that’s OK ’cause it’s Monday.

Yes I’ve had cinnamon sticks! I love eating them. Especially the way they get so sweet if you chew them long enough. You gotta embrace a bit-o-pain, though.

QOTD: No clue. Don’t even know how to score your wierd style of football. (Bring on the flames guys

Regarding the Poop. Can you talk a little to your Vaynerites about what makes the poop in the wine. I’d have thought being new world that it isn’t poor vinefication, so is it intentional? If you get the chance in your shows it would be nice to hear your comments about what causes some of the (unusual) aromas that you encounter.

Thanks for the shows Gary

QOTD: Jets fall on their face first 4 games. Go 1-3. Then recover and finish 9-7. Make the playoffs and win at least 1 if not 2 games.

Great show. I consider you results for CA vs. OR PN today to be an aberration:)

Would love to join the Thunder Cruise, but no way to make it happen with the twins.

QOTD – 6 and 10.

Good Show. You mentioned that the OR Pinot was a good wine, but there were equally good wines at half the price. I am sure that is correct, but I doubt you will find another Pinot that good at that price. If you want to spend big money on a wine that drinks a 7 dollar bottle, Oregon Pinot Noir in the $20-%25 range is the way to go.

Farve might be an INT machine but he doesn’t hold all the records because he sucks… I was leaning 9 and 7 before Farve… I’m thinking the Green Machine will add 3 wins… 11 and 3. I think the Jets will make the playoffs this years… And no I’m not Jets fan.. (Go Big D!).

QOTD: 11-5 and the playoffs.
