Let the hair grow back dude.

Slight upset, SF over the Cardinals. And I think the Jets will actually win this week. 8-8 is a real possibility this year.

Good show – and digging the hair. Welcome to the bald brotherhood! (Although yours is by choice, mine – not so much.)

Oh, and Go Bears!

A 96 point wine. Is that a record for you? I actually had stopped buying Burgundies because the prices had risen so fast. $125 and buying 5 of them $625 is way too steep for me.

Big G, Great show. It’s always fun when you go nuts over a Wine. Ok, you have to let your hair grow Bro. Unless Lizzy likes it….

QOTD: Da Bears in a Huge Upset! Thanks right, I’m not afraid.

Nice show. I’d love to try those wines! I support the buzz cut, as I wore it for many years myself.
Survivor Pick for Week 1: New Orleans will not lose in Week 1.

Speaking of changing the wine world, is there something we, the Vaynernation, can do to break down the senseless legislation in states like PA that prevent importing wines? I would love to be able to ship wine to my door! I shed a tear every time I hear about secret packs!!!!!!!!! Sites like http://www.freethegrapes.com/ haven’t worked… Please help! What can we do guys?

I like the haircut, but it’s probably high maintenance. I presume you’re talknig about the FA cup, so my money is on Chelsea!
Re Burgundy, this show epitomises for me the exciting thing about being newcomer to wine tasting (as opposed to wine scoffing, which am expert at), the possibility of eventually enjoying those old sock-flavoured dusty old bottles which you’ve wondered what all the fuss was about for the last N years.

GV – good show! QOTDs – I’m diggin the Caesar, but winter’s coming up – should let it out a bit. Also – Patriots, yes. But I’m going to say Dallas wins this week but not next…

Football? Since I am a baseball fan I will refrain from commenting. Nothing personal but it is still September.
Hair? Fine…My husband does the same and I love it. Skulls are sexy.
Wine? I’m saving my pennies for a bottle of the Chambertin. It sounds amazing.

Wow, a 96 point wine! I will admit for that price I would probably not seek out, but always nice to hear when a wine really rocks!

Answer to the QOTD: Giants!

The white coating on the outside of chocolate (most probably due to temperature changes) is the bloom: the cocoa butters separating from the rest of the chocolate. That shouldn’t hurt the taste, but 13 years is a long time to keep chocolate. I’ll bet you could still taste the difference between the chocolate made in Belarus and the chocolate made here. Very nostalgia producing. Lots of good memories associated with chocolate.

I still don’t understand the mid-palate. I need a mini-seminar on it.

We like Chambertins very much. We holding on to a couple right now.

You need to grow your hair back so you can shave it again when the need arises.

Is it Garasparov?
