Hey Gary,

Cool episode, even if they weren’t great. Other people can go out and try them and they may like them more. Each to his/her own. Now they know they are out there.
I sent you a T-shirt for KPFA radio, (where I work), but I haven’t seen you wear it yet.

Hey Gary,

It’s my birthday too! FYI, Kasha is made from buckwheat.

QOTD: My favorite T-shirt ever is the Rated Rookie shirt you wore a few months ago (http://www.thisnext.com/item/9C426D6A/49AEED84/No-Mas-Rated-Rookie-Shirt). My favorite one that I own is a $2 “I heart DR” shirt that they sell in my very Dominican neighborhood.

Never have had egyptian wine, and it looks like I won’t, at least for now.

QOTD: My Ghostbusters t-shirt, got it at Target but they don’t sell it online, so I found an online store that has that same shirt but sadly they’re out of stock. http://www.80stees.com/products/Retro-Ghostbusters-Logo-T-shirt.asp

Keep up the awesome work you do man. Thanks.

Gary,
I just started exploring wine a month ago (56 years old). Having a great time. I didn’t know what I was missing. Found your show and now I watch it everyday. I can’t wait to try new wines. Keep up the excitement, wine really does enhance life!
Thanks

QOTD: http://store.americanapparel.net/6456.html

Most consider it very douche-baggy, but sheer jersey is just the most comfortable material constructed…

G…The hair is growing to a good length. Sometimes when it’s cut short, a dude can actually look younger/better. I think you’re reaching that zone.

Thanks for the schwag. I bust your balls sometimes…but, like yourself, want to keep it real.

QOTD: My Fav. T is probably a marathon shirt that really isn’t that cool or catchy, but it means twentysix.2 miles of sweat to me. No pics that I can find.

Great Show!!!

Sucks that the Egyptian wines didn’t show well today. I’m Egyptian and was really hoping for a good turn out. Unfortunately I’ve had a couple of other wines from Egypt that weren’t all that great either.

Also, the one day I decide to try to watch the show on itunes and not leave a comment is the day chosen for schwag…haha…oh well, next time hopefully.

QOTD: My favorite tshirt is a standard black tshirt that reveals the ending of the Harry Potter series. I got the shirt last summer about a week after the last movie came out and people hated me wearing it.

Darn it! The one day I forgot to post a comment!

Anyway, Egypt wines. No. Never had one but if I can find one, would love to try it despite your rather critical review of those. One scoop punch? Ouch!

QOTD: You know, I don’t know if I have a favorite t-shirt. I rarely wear them anymore, it’s mainly collared shirts for work and now play.

Great show, keep up the great work.

Thanks for the schwag pack!

QOTD: No, haven’t tried Egyptian wine, but will look into it now.

Favorite tee – it’s my favorite because it’s so comfortable, but it’s a tee that my college organization made, so not mainstream. But man is it comfortable.

Great episode Gary!

yo im telling, mott did not link up AJ’s episode, now i cant see it!

aaaaah that sucks, i typed in my comments while watching as usual yesterday, but forgot to enter them when the show was over, I would have been #22 … o well, maybe next time!

yea and by the way, you are missing life if you’ve never had backed apples.

yo Gary, i dont care if that wine is jug wine, if your not spitting it out and washing your mouth out, then those scores are HARSH. lol you didn’t even talk about pallet differences, you just trashed them. not everyone is rolling like chris mott, but many of us do like to have wine with our meals, so that means lots of not-so-great wines.

oh and saying Muslims don’t drink wine is like saying Jews don’t eat pork. They do, they are just not “suppose” to.
