I am a BIG Baumard fan, I absolutely believe that 05′ just needs some time to blossom.

sub-QOD: yes, many times. We’re big fans of Loire chenin blancs at our house, especially aged vouvrays. QOTD: don’t do gum much any more, but about a week ago I saw some old-time Razzles at the drugstore and just had to pick up some of the “first it’s candy then it’s gum.”

I don’t think I’ve had any pinot bianco yet. Obviously, I need to try to find some.

What a show! I just read an article about Savennieres and was thinking about going out to test a couple out. Crazy.

Also, bringing back the card packs is always a great idea. I’m hoping that you have some of the early 90’s Score baseball cards around that have the Fat Head (cartoon) all-stars. I always used to buy those at the local 7-11. The other thing that I bought there…

QOTD: Grape Bubble Tape.

Good show. Hilarious end.
QOTD : I’d have to say ‘91 Bowman had good mouthfeel. Been dying to get my hands on some of that ‘66 Fleer gum… I can hear my teeth breaking as we speak!

How about a jug wine showdown on the Thunder Show?

SQOTD: Yep! Clos du Papillon from Baumard. I enjoyed it A LOT more than GV enjoyed his.

Russiz Superiore Pinot Bianco.

Happy New Your: To You, the WL Team, and the the Vaner Nation !!

QOTDs: Never had a Savenierres. Sounds interesting though.
Trident sugar free wintergreen gum, but I have gum so very seldom it’s hard to remember if it’s not spearmint that I like best.
No need to be ashamed of the Jets and make up stuff so that they’ll look good. I believe they won 9 games; that’s not so bad.

Well done show I liked the enthusiam and I am now very interested in trying some Pinot Bianco.

I think we must be around the same age as I remember that 1987 Topps set very well. Come to think of it I bet I still have some of those wax packs somewhere in my basement. No plans on chewing the gum though.

QOTD: I am really into the Orbitz gum these days. Any flavor will do.

BTW: I noticed the third tag was not the Pinot Bianco wine but rather the 2nd Chenin Blanc. Just thought you might like to know.

QOTD: The three yard bubble gum that comes in the case and you unroll it. I can’t believe I forgot what that is called. I haven’t had it since I was a kid. I would stick that whole thing in my mouth and gag.

Was that your teeth breakin’, or was that the sound of the gum crackin’?
22 year old gum, huh?

What a brave man Gary V. is!

NO to the Savennières question.

I’ve had sparkling Chenin Blanc from Napa over the holidays. It ended up in the sink…it was a stink!

QOTD: Not a big gum chewer, especially if it’s 22 years old!

QOTD: Don’t really chew gum. Every now and then I’ll chew some juicy fruit and toss it down a gopher hole in the backyard just to mess with the varmints. So yeah, I think of gum more as pest control than something to be enjoyed.

I just love Loire Chenin Blanc! Wish I could find some of the sparkling version just for fun. For some reason I haven’t enjoyed it from other regions nearly as much

QOTD 1 No, no Savennieres yet, though; 2 no fav gum

At my age, I have to protect my teeth.

Greg Z the tear under the eye symbols the loss of a loved one, just cause it’s mainly adorned by african americans doesn’t make it a gang symbol… your ignorance is awesome!

Awesome Gary…

I figured you’d turn that 1987 Topps box into a great show segment.

I meant to try the bubble gum when we opened that first pack last week. But from the looks of it, glad I forgot. Or did I miss out?
