yo gv. I know you are gonna use this one, remember the shredded pink big league chew (all the mid 30 yrs olds ) know about, that we used to pack into our mouths at the little league games. Come on!

Great show! You need to try the Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc/Viognier on the show. A great value and wine (80% chenin blanc). 1987 Topps, ooh the memories. Favorite gum, bazooka!

QOTD: 5. I think it’s because on some level I keep hoping that I’ll get pelted with a million oranges one day at work.

Great show. I’m going to work to track down that Pinot Bianco up in Duluth. Wish I could order from WL, but alas Minnesota just isn’t in the cards.

See you on Twitter.

QOTD1: NO.
QOTD2: Wrigley’s 5.

21 year old gum stick must have been a museum piece! Good one GV, kudos for trying.

QOTD: Hubba-Bubba!

The debate rages – What will last longer, gum in a deck of baseball cards or Twinkies?

Not a fan of gum, but do love my Italian whites; namely the pinot biancos and the tocai frulianos. I’ll take an Italian white wine over any other white from any region any day!! For the money? Are you kidding me?

Thanks for the show.

QOTD: anything spearmint

So I’ve been watching wine library for the last 6 months or so, and I was wondering: have you ever done a sake episode?

If you haven’t, have you ever considered doing a sake episode?

I’ve only recently had my first taste of sake and I find myself intrigued. I’m definitely going to have some more and I was curious to see if you had ever (at least publicly) reviewed any sakes.

QOTD: It is all about Bazooka.. It seemed like it would be an instant cavity back in the day but I still loved it.

Ohhhhh sooo much fun. The reason I watch you at night which becomes the highlight of my day. Wow

QOTD #1: Not that I remember and kudos on your trivia question. I’m sure to pull that one out this weekend with some wine geeks.

QOTD #2: Bazooka

Yes, better wines enhance your enthusiasm but how is one to know which are good or so-so before you taste them?

I’ll need to get some of that last wine from Marco Felluga which I adore their pinot grigios. I remember when I went to the Italian Open a few years back that I pounded many a glass of the Felluga.

Cheers!

What’s the difference between Pinot Blanc and Pinot Bianco ? I though it was the same thing (Bianco being the term used in Italy)

Sorry Gary, but it was the 83 Topps set and in particular the update set with the Daryl Strawberry rookie that set the baseball card collecting world on fire.

American=Big Red
Japanese=Lotte Ume (Plum)

But in general I avoid excessive gum chewing because it throws my jaw out of whack.
