QOTD: Absolute favorite? There are a lot of craft brews I really like, but if I was stuck having to drink only one beer for the rest of my life, it would be Guinness.

That’s easy: Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA. Absolute sex in the glass.

QOTD: Sparkling or anything with bubbles? Mine would be Lagunitas Maximus, an IPA from Cali that I adore, followed by the Optimator from Spaten.

I am not a fan of sparkling wine. My favorite all time carbonated drink would probably be Barqs Root Beer.

I have not had a Moscato D’Asti yet, but will very soon.

QOTD: I love our company’s (Wine Shop at Home’s) exclusive Grand Cadeau Rose Cava right now, the white Cava is pretty good too.

QOTD: I’m gonna go with a Jarritos in Tamarind. Lots of childhood memories and its just plain yummy.

QOTD – I like most sparkling wine drinks and can’t pick just one. Tonight I had a good Cava made of pinot that was very nice tasting and had a good pinot color. Why pick one when there are so many to enjoy?

Ahhhh, I love the Astis and am surprised myself you have never done a show on them. I thought you had. Hmmm. Anyway, I’ll try the “G” moscato to see if it compares to the Chiarelo or Bigaro that I love so much.

QOTD: I’ll go with the ‘96 Pommery Apenage Champagne. I took a tour of their caves and fell in love with the chateau and their champagnes.

Great show. I’m going to try that first one.

QOTD: Now this is non-alc, but I really enjoy a Polish mineral water called Naleczowianka.

Outstanding show…thoroughly enjoyed the play by play. John Madden may be out of a job next year.

Good show, Gary! I think your palate might be changing a bit…cool!

QOTD: The sparkling ice wine that Inniskillin does in Canada. It’s got that predictable honey sweetness but then it totally surprises your mouth with the bubbles. It’s awesome!

My favorite non-alcoholic sparkling drink would have to be Vernors which is FAR superior to other ginger ales…unfortunately, it’s not available everywhere!

QOTD: Krug Rose Champagne,#2 would be Oriel Prosecco, #3 7-Up

Mixing all the sodas from the fountain at a 7-11 to make the most delicious bubbly big gulp of all time.

Hey, Gary! Love the episode! QOTD: Champagne: Dom, 1995. One of the BIG reasons for this one was location, location, location! :} It was Summer, ‘04, we were in Barcelona, and drinking this out of the bottle…

Damn you, Damn you, Damn you! Every time I think I’m out, you pull me back in. I have to try the Braida.

QOTD: When I was a kid there was Mac’s strawberry soda in southern Illinois that was the first thing we drank when visiting our grandmother.

Gary, first things first, you’re the man. Secondly, do you ever think you could bring Bob Parker himself on your show to taste some thunder?
