Is Cahors always Malbec?

Nice epsd.
QOTD: Don’t plan on retiring and picked up the style from my grandparents. Overrated, and yes there is only so much golf you can play. If I were to retire, I would enjoy what I do from day to day less. BTW, I’ll be picking up a copy of your book Tim.

Unfortunately – the video kept dropping out at the 30 minute mark. Therefore, I did not get to see the rest of the show or the QOTD.
it seems (from the other comments) that it had to do with where i want to be when I grow uo. I would love to have a place in Boston and a place in Charleston.

This was a great show GV. As a 2nd generation Argentinean, I soaked up this episode like a crusty piece of bread sopping up the chimichurri and juices from the parilla!

Profound QOTD. As a govt biologist at the tail end of a career, I’m thinking I’d do a reverse career – work toward more time in the field, less supervision, paperwork, and pay. Get back to the things that drove me to this job… a Jacque Cousteau sense of wonder, Marlin Perkins sense of adventure, and a Aldo Leopold’s appreciation for nature’s bounty and our place in the world.

Decent show. I have been enjoying malbecs myself lately.

Retire is just the wrong term. To retire is to die. I have always thought I would just change jobs until I feel like I have done enough.

Yowens took the thunder out of my next comment by making it first LOL!

I thought the guest was fine but brought very little to table. Tim’s book’s reviews at Amazon lead me to think I am not missing anything by not buying it. Sounds like a rehash of common sense and old ideas. If I am wrong I will never know cuz I don’t care.

Hope you guys had time to make out after the show. QOTD: I haven’t even thought about it yet so as of right now if changes nothing for me.

47 billion books sold? Wow! That’s i,pressive since the world population is estimated to be just under 7 billion people. I will have to search for at least one of the 6 or 7 copies that I should own. Haha. Good show. I also drink a lot of malbec in search of gaminess and earthiness–read terroir.

QOTD: I would not change anything, as I refrain from putting all of my “eggs” into retirement. Retirement is in the future, and is unpredictable, so I make sure that I use a sufficient amount of my eggs now for my and my family’s present enjoyment. I am also fortunate that I find my work rewarding, and I am my own boss.

Great episode. Love Malbec, Clos des Andes especially. I have heard good things about Susana Balbos’ wines.
QOTD: If retirement wasnt in the cards, being in a public safety job, I would have to find work that was less stressful. Life would be short for certain if not.

This was a great episode, with a great guest, you are blessed to know such wonderful people and be able to call them your friends.

I love Malbec’s and will be looking for a Cahor’s to expand my palate as most of my tasting has been from Argentina.

QOTD – I have been working for the past 39+ as a respiratory therapist and love what I do each and every day. I have been a reserve police officer for 29+ years and also love that aspect each and every day. I do not think of retirement. God willing I will be able to work until my tasks are done.\

So long as I make enough to buy wine, I will be happy to work.
