    Gary, how the heck do you swish sparkling wine? Doesn’t the increase activity in the carbonation mask the flavors to some degree? I’d love to hear you thoughts on this…

    QOTD: It depends on the weather… rain favors the Pats slower but bigger team. In rain I’ll go Pats 21 Jets 19. In dryer weather, I’ll go Jets 28 Pats 17.

    QOTD: Idunno. Probably a closer score than anyone expects, and I hope for no major injuries to anyone (especially head injuries).
    Back in the world of (some would say “real”) football I am blind-sided by the upsets of both Chelsea and Liverpool this week. Now that is interesting news!

    We may have to pass on the secret pack as we just went with the election day pack (way fun, and while we drank the Thunder Cuvee, we saved the other two for sharing with our oldest boy who turns 21 the 13th). I’m working Thanksgiving afternoon/evening anyway…

    Happy B-day G (33 is not so bad- I do remember that far back :) )
    and Happy 4th Anniversary G & L!

    Gary Vee Someone on twitter who is excited about South African cabernet! Stunning wines from Stellenbosch. For the price hard to beat quality reds. Try pinotage next for winter.

    First and foremost….happy anniversary Gary and Lizzy.
    Sorry but I have to give the nod to the Pats tomorrow night…Pats 24, Jets 17.
    Also, I really liked the Herman Story. Then again, I love the fire on the palate.

    QOTD: While I hate to see players get injured (Tom Brady), I H-A-T-E the Patriots, and REALLY hope another team takes the AFC East. To that end: Jets 24 Pats 14.
