Great episode regarding one of my favorite grapes. Two new wines to locate and try, will stay away from the California versions.

A lovely young lady and I enjoy how you expand horizons with guests and other aspects of this program.

QOTD – Not psyched, but prayful for our new president.

GV – seemed like a very knowledgeable guest. She knew what she liked. I am surprised that you would do Sauv Blanc without a Loire Valley version – how would you like some minerals with your grass.

QOTD – Momma always told me not to speak about Religion, Politics, or the Great Pumpkin. However, I will just say short and sweet – the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over again and expect a different result.

Great show and great guest!

QOTD: Eh…I’m still in a bit of amazement over the reactions I’ve seen, which exceeded even my own expectations. So many folks seem to give him a sort of messiah status. It’ll be interesting to see how this all goes, though.

good show! I like you doing wines we in NC can actually find. smile. Agree with you on Simi – very light.

Kat was a nice guest! enjoyed her.

QOTD: I’m quitting my job so he won’t empty my pockets. Instead I will put out my hand for him to feed.

QOTD: I was trying to absorb the history of the moment.

Happy Anniversary Gary!

QOTD: Since dancing in the streets in Oakland to celebrate the end of an era of oppression and corruption, I am still glowing in the fact that Obama is our next president I think it will usher in a new era of hope and progress for the entire world.

Congrats Gary on the humongous win! I rushed to a sports bar when I saw the Jets were leading 24-13 and saw perhaps one of the best 4th quarters of all time.

I live in WA and am also too close to OR and CA. I can’t stand liberals. They are duped by the liberal media and take it as the gospel truth. Dem. politicians say they need more money and are horribly irresponsible with it. I’m moving soon as I am sick of it. Thanks to Tim in Spokane.

QOTD: I cannot fully express how excited I was when Barack took all two Tuesdays ago. Ridiculous. There is hope for the US in the future.

QOTD: Yes, very excited about our future with Obama! Then again, I know how great a guy he is because he is my upperclassman. We attended Punahou School together in Hawaii, and he was a considerate and wonderful guy since those days.

Also, great job with the two spitoons Gary! It appeared that your guest was more comfortable, as I was watching the show.

Just had the Pirie South SB from Tasmania, I believe I nabbed it from WL. Excellent, shockingly fruity – tropical, but balanced with the grassy. Just really surprised at how good it was.

Hi Gary,

I had heard about you from some people that I talked to at Whole Foods, and also I’m attending your seminar at the Wine Expo in Boston. Please do not bash the NE Patriots as part of your keynote speech. Also, I think I asked you this before, but I’ll ask again, are you bringing some wines for us to taste, and to sniffy sniff at the Boston Wine Expo.

Fun guest- thanks, Cat! Now to check out your blog.

QOTD: Guardedly hopeful. It does require that we all get up off our butts and work with our elected representatives; both speaking out and listening carefully (not just to ads and mainstream media…). For ideas about concrete actions to help our country that may even involve some sacrifice(!) on our parts, ask your (or someone else’s) grandparents/great-grandparents how it’s done.

Timinspokane, I am terrified you’re going to end up in an ICU with one of my west coast colleagues taking care of you! Turn off your TV and start getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep each night! (You remind me of my brother- I worry about him, too.)

QOTD- No. I’m sure it’s all very cool but… No. Couldn’t care less. ; )
Nice show though!

Minervois tonight for me. Nice!

I can’t believe you do not have a beautiful tating room with candles and nice glassware for your show, at least when you have a guest on.
Smell it first.

Fun, fun show on G-Man’s birthday with a very nice lady.

Talking about SBs, I had a great one with some oysters this past weekend in Annapolis, MD called Sileni from NZ. Very nice stuff that I need to find.

QOTD: Ummm, no. I concur with the response from TiminSpokane except I may move to Australia or NZ instead of Canada. Too cold up there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY!!!!

Cheers!

Cat – super job. Great to have you on the show.

Coolio show, Gary! Cat was a great guest, and you totally rock the scarf and the hat. Perfect Jets color, too. Congrats on the HUGE Jets victory (honestly… not a massive Jets fan, but I love Favre and I HATE the Patsies! Mega congrats on the anniversary and HAPPY FREAKIN’ BIRTHDAY!!

QOTD…. hmmmm how do I say this nicely? HELL NO I AM NOT STOKED!!! Actually, I am terrified. When terrorists and dictators both supported and immediately congratulated Obama on his victory, followed by announcements that Putin is placing missles on the Polish border (after Obama declared he will scrap our missle defense shield in Poland to protect our NATO allies), Ahmadinejad tells Obama to stay the hell out of the Middle East and follows that up with medium range missle tests after proclaiming that he wants to erase Israel from the map, Putin and Medvedev announce that they are working on changing the Russian “constitution” to allow 2 consecutive 6 year terms and that Medvedev is willing to resign so that Putin can once again be President of Russia (his dream is to be the “new” Czar and once again expand the Russian Empire), I get nervous… When our economy is already weak and Obama promises to raise taxes, which will stifle new business development, raise capital gains taxes and corporate taxes, which will stifle new businesses and jobs and force some companies overseas, bring back the “death tax”, which hurts farms and small businesses, and to create a new massive socialist welfare state… er…. excuse me…. “redistribute the wealth”… I am scared. He has promised to gut our national defense, which eliminates the deterrence that the US has against aggression around the world, emboldens our enemies, and sends the message to dictators and terrorists around the world that they can now do whatever the heck they want to, and the US won’t do anything about it. So, NO… I am NOT stoked! I am afraid for our country. I am afraid for Americans because if he leads us down this path, there is no place for us to go. There are no more “America’s” out there. There are no more undiscovered lands for us to run to. This is it. Pray for our nation, people! ps… No, I am not a McCain fan, either… but he had the potential to be better than what we got. Damn… I need a drink! Got zin?

Enjoyable show…I wanna knit now

I, myself am also enjoying a great white. It is a Jo Pithou, Chenin Blanc, from the Loire. Very aromatic, yet crisp and mineral. Awesome.

QOTD: Who could’t be! Hell! I’m more thrilled about what’s going on to the south than what is happening here in Canada!

QOTD—— He has a very difficult job ahead……. America has alot of tough times in the future. Change is good but what change.
