Great show, Gary! Cant afford even entry level burgs these days…oh well…I’ll just taste them vicariously through you.

QOTD: ‘Fins (sorry, but I just can’t see Chad letting them lose this one)

Great show…..ok haircut…lol

Actually you look a little scary with short hair. I think you scared Mott. Kinda looks like you just got out of jail or boot camp or some other place I wouldn’t be caught dead in.

So, I’m still at the shore and haven’t seen you all summer. NICE!!!

Gonna try the first and third wines. I love those wines. You need to do more shows. You’re right.

Love the haircut dude. I’m going for a similar cut soon (hide the baldiness, it’s by choice, by choice I tells ya)

Yeah you rock, again. Good show. 96 points is worth 125 bones, so hopefully I can find a bottle of the Serafin.
QOTD: I’ll say the Lions won’t lose, and I don’t know why.

Burgundies are so different from most domestic pinot noirs that the only similarity is the grape. Kalin used to make some of the only ones that were close. There are more now, and that’s a good thing.

Speaking of close, I call the Texans winning by a hair. Speaking of hair, your short hair isn’t growing on me. Not exactly new wave. May be no wave. Bye bye.

What a great show! The first 95+ wine from you in a long time!

@QOTD:
The Chargers should have longer hairs!

QOTD: will have to say dolphins because I had the chance to try dolphin meat the other day.

Awesome show, Burgundy is pumpin’ out some serious juice but, like you said, it’s not cheap.

Eagles. They will not lose to the rams.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a Gevrey-Chambertin. And at $124 a pop … well, maybe I’ll just have another Chinon.

QOD: the Jets do not lose @ MIA.

The hair or lack-of looks good. I think the Jets will win and so will the Packers.
Question:Can you do a Bourbon show sometime, or how about a brandy (Cognac/Argmanac) show?

Mmmmmm Burgundy where it’s at baby. Got to love it I just wish I could afford it.

QOTD: ???

I’m always for more Burgundy shows…if only I could afford more.

QOTD: Pretty sure the colts will spank the bears

Nice show on the Burg. vino. So popular, yet so mysterious.

QOTD 1: If you’re losing it, keep it short. If you’re not, grow it.

QOTD: 2. Tough not to go with the Pats. But, being the contrarian prick that I am, I’ll go w/the Giants.

Great to see some Burgundy on the show…maybe you could do a week long Burgundy theme. Cote de Nuits Mon/Tue Cote de Beaune Wed/Thu and Grand Cru on Friday (One from each region).
QOTD: Like I said before I don’t normally follow sports but I’m going to go with Seattle Seahawks because they are one of the few teams I know the name of.

One day I will be able to try wines like these……

side QOTD~ just a little longer, you need something for Lizzy to put her fingers thru

QOTD~I only know who the Skins are playing and unfortunately they will probably lose.

Good show Gary! These wines are a little pricey but maybe I’ll look for them around Christmastime.

I would like to see Gary with some age…great palate!!! please take some French lessons as it is painful to hear you murder those Burgundian producers names.If he were to take the Master Sommeliers exam he would be drawn and quartered…but asked back to re take after some polishing of some very rough edges because he has the right stuff.
