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. 😉

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.

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.

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.

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’ll stay away from the political convo.

But, great, interesting choice for a guest. I don’t know where the 1 out of 3 stat comes from but glad to see she is getting it done with her nitch.

Great show Gary! Nearly fell out of my chair when I saw Cat was your guest – awesome! I’m loving all the comments about knitters & “who knew?”.

Congrats on a faboo week full of celebrations!

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.

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

Happy Anniversary Gary!

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.

OMG, two of my favorite podcasters in one place! Small world!

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.

Yo G & Cat, Nice Episode!!

qotd: I don’t think Ya want ta hear my reply on this one…….

Gary this episode was awesome…the guest shows always bring it big time 🙂

QOTD:
-We will see how it goes once Obama is in office….hopefully things look up for us Americans 🙂

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.

QOTD: Hell yes, very excited. Everyone else has a P.H.D., player hater degree. I

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.

Fun show.
QOTD: Not yet. In fact, I’m a little scared for the future. Things can get worse… I have yet to see a step in the right direction by anyone in any office!

Great show. Wine and knitting, what a great combination. I tried knitting once, unsuccessfully, but the process is quite therapeutic, much like drinking a glass of wine.

QOTD: No, not particularly. I am going to have to agree with Tim in Spokane on this one.

@Timinspokane,
Wow. Crawl in a hole somewhere and in a couple years, peak your tiny mind, er, head out from under your rock. When you see the world is still okay, not great, but okay, come back to civilization and enjoy yourself.

QoTD…. I’m excited. . . that McCain lost.

This was your best guest episode.

glad to see you finally got two buckets for when a guest is there 😀
good guest hope you had a badass weekend im sure you did
move that freaking bottle !
QOTD only time will tell. . .

Sonoma does have some WONDERFUL Sauvingnon Blancs. You shouldn’t pick them based on popularity.

Try Dry Creek Vineyard’s Sauvignon and Fume. Lovely!

Nice job with the CKC value wines here. 1/3 knitters..sounds high to me, but is possible.

very original guest, and what a present!!!
Good pick of wines as well…to be repeated!
