Great show! It sounds like you got a visit from the Poo Goblin! I’d take that over “feline character” I guess =)

QOTD: 8-8 Think Farve will blow it. Very disappointed in the news, should have stayed retired.

GREAT ENERGY – GREAT style – you are back! I’ve decided Raleigh is not the place to find wines – none of these are in local stores either. Amazing.
The Pinot Noir smells were described wonderfully – I was sniffy sniffing my Pinot Noir (not one listed) and could almost find some of the components, never found the pickle or celery until you told me to look for it.!! wow.

Very poopy. poop barnyard nose. Those are funny. oh, and then raspberry. ha.

The last one sounded yummy. Very good show, it’s nice to have you back in the element you shine best in.
QOTD: Jets? Jets? is that a sports question? oh. sorry, don’t follow sports.

my QOTD: will US move military into Georgia to stop Russian aggression? and what are they doing in Atlanta, anyways? :*)

Nice show, I like the challenge format of having the same grape but different
regions. Nice to have you back!
QOTD: 10-6
One of those losses will come Dec. 21st in Seattle.
My boys (Gary & Chuck V.) and I look forward to tailgating with
you before that game.

Gary,
You never answered my question on facebook!

Here it is again:

Gary, I have a good idea for a show, and if you do the show, a good wine to try for that particular show. The show should be, “The Sniffy-Sniff Show”. For the show, choose wines that have a fantastic or bizarre aroma. My suggestion for the show is Root: 1 Chilean 2006 cabernet sauvignon. I bought a bottle at Costco. When I opened it, the smell took over my kitchen (furthermore, it taste not bad at all). Tell me what you think?

I hope you have time to answer the question.

WB GV. I enjoy these death-match shows, where grapes from different regions go at it.

Great show, wanted to taste Antica Terra for a while now. Maggie actually isn’t the assistant at SQN anymore, but makes a great syrah, which you mentioned her own label called “Lillian”.

I don’t care how old you are, when someone says “poop”, everybody laughs a little bit. It was great to hear a little bit more about the cruise. It sounds awesome (especially if there’s going to be a few hot young ladies).

QOTD: 7-9. I just don’t think they’re going to get to that .500 mark just yet. Plus, Favre makes WAY too many stupid plays to get the Jets over that hump.

Being a Packers fan, I will miss Brett. He should do OK, if he’s reined in. He had one of his best seasons in 2007 when McCarthy (the Packers coach) kept him under control. If he’s reined in and has a decent ground game, 10-6 and a playoff spot.

I’m not a Jet lover or hater. The NY Jets, as far as I’m concerned made a bonehead move getting Farve. He quit twice with a team/community that loved the pants off him…………..he’s burned out. For the Jets to change their team, getting rid of Chad Pennington, and pay big bucks for someone who is almost guaranteed to be a shorttimer (my guess would be he won’t make it to Nov) is NOT med or long term thinking.

Another great show Gary! QOTD: 11-5. Brett Favre is a big, big piece.
