I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated.

Great show…….good information. A bit surprising though to think that a muslim country produces wine but it is a good thing.

QOTD:
My LKG t-shirt…

QOTD1: Never had a wine from Egypt. QOTD2: Im a dress shirt and sweater guy. I havent worn a t-shirt with a saying on them in years. If I had to choose I guess the 1995 Mariners Divison champs t-shirt. Great watching them make their first playoff run. God only knows where that shirt is today.

QOTD: I like my warm plaid shirt that I got from Value Village. It gets me very warm when I’m cold.

QOTD: Being a barista and general coffee fanatic (along with wine of course) this shirt has seen a lot of play in my wardrobe lately:

PS – my wife wanted me to point out that the “not available” subtitles when discussing the wine in this episode were spelled incorrectly. She is kind of a geek about that kind of stuff.

Hi Gary – I’ve been wearing my gray Vayniac t-shirt to bed lately, so I would have to say that’s my current fave.
Not dying to try Egyptian wines after this show (and never have before).

QOTD: I have a VERY small (baby-size) yellow Cheerios t-shirt from when I was 1 or 2 years old with my name silk-screened on the back. Classic.

I have never had an Egyptian wine, but I’ll look for one next time I can.

My favorite T-shirt is one that a coworker designed. http://www.cafepress.com/lcchoppers.235756048

QOTD:
I am in oil & gas exploration & I have t-shirt with a quote from J. Paul Getty that reads
” Rise Early, Work Hard, Strike Oil” – probably have to be in the biz to appreciate that.

Never had an Egyptian wine (not exactly inspired to by todays show). As Dan-o posted ” Life’s too short to drink bad wine” – soooo much truth in that, especially given all the good wines out there.Maybe it should read ‘Life’s too short to drink all the good wines”

Not such a great show, but has more to do with the raw material you had to work with.
QOTD 1 – never had an Egyptian wine.
QOTD 2 – My favorite T-shirt is from Moose, WY where I found an excellent wine shop while I was on vacation. It says “Life is too short to drink cheap wine”. Second favortie T-shirt says – The Roogle has landed, Honesty, Integrity, Barbeque. This came from the Grateful Palate.

QOTD: No Egyptian wines. Had a few Turkish wines, another country dominated by non-wine drinkers.

also, I’m sure the Vaynerchuk boys, bring from the dirty jerz, will appreciate the “NEW JERSEY: Don’t worry, we hate you too” shirt:

I had some Egyptian wine when I went there a few months ago. I forget the name, it was ok. The place is great for history, but has by far, the most aggressive street vendors I’ve encountered. Also, as a side note, when you go to a mostly Muslim country with your wife, make sure she wears dark colored clothing, has her shoulders and legs covered. We learned after the fact that women wearing bright colors are basically saying that they are available, if you know what I mean.

No Egyptian wine here. My favorite t-shirt is not actually one that I own. It’s one w/a chimp dressed up like Che Guevara, and it says “Viva la Evolution!” Cracks me up.

Side QOTD: No, I’ve never had a wine from Egypt.

I have bookmarked AJV’s PleaseDressMe.com when I found out about it last week. I check it everyday.

My favorite tshirt is one that my husband bought me at ComiCon from BeKyoot.com. Here’s a link to the shirt: http://shop.bekyoot.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PDRP&Store_Code=ABO&Product_Code=10100&Category_Code=elord

My second favorite tshirt is the shirt you get when you sign up as a club member of SweetRiot.com. Here’s a link: http://shop.sweetriot.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67&products_id=186

Never had Egyptian wines before! Too bad the samples that were sent to you seem to be the very basic examples. Nonetheless, it’s great to see wines from around the globe on WLTV. Cheers!

I’m bummed out about the schwag. My first week of classes made me a weekend watcher I’ll have to get back to the daily watch schedule.

That’s what I get for watching WLTV on the weekends, ha.

QOTD 1: I’m one of those “no”’s The closest I’ve gotten to Egyptian wine is..Greek wine, I guess.

QOTD 2: Most of my t shirts are plain and black. My Tool T shirt is probably my favorite. I would love to be able to find old vintage Iron Maiden tour T shirts like I wore in high school!
