Cool show guy. Very interesting how different the grape is w/o skins. QOTD: Prereading for conferences.

Interesting show – I have read about Pinot Noir blanc with the Domaine Serene release of a similar wine. My dad once tried to get me to fall for White Merlot – I thought that it was hideous.

QOTD – I do not understand the word nerd because I am a dren. Do you remember the Happy Days episode when Joanie had a crush on Potsie? She called him “dren”, which is nerd backwards. I honestly can’t think of one, which may simply mean that I am a nerd.

Sorry I have been away. Great show and greaat information.

Not really nerdy, but I had the cheesiest arrest I have ever had to make last week. “Failure to return Library Property” was the charge. It took me a while but got the judge to deal with this and did not have to take the person to jail.

Interesting little episode. I get that this is Pinot Noir Blanc, but you also said that there is a Pinot Noir Blanc grape. Do you mean Pinot Blanc?

QOTD: I set up my own weather station in my yard and have it reporting to my laptop and to the internet. i think that qualifies as nerdy.

What’s the nerdiest thing I’ve done this year?

Oh lordy how I could go on, I will give the top two:

1) I wrote an argumentative quantitative essay trying to convince a girl that it was in her mathematical best interest to go on a date with me…it didn’t work.

2) One girl told me I was too much of a dork, so I broke down her name phonetically and number/alphabeticaly terms to prove that her name equation was twice as nerdy as my own.

QOTD: Worrying about whether or not my basement would make an adequate passive wine cellar because my “16-bottle silent wine fridge” is on the fritz.

QOTD: I play your WLTV videos and record them real time to MP3 so I can listen to the episodes in my car.

I agree with the “alcohol bite” comment, BUT, that is what makes this an excellent food wine. I had the pleasure of experiencing a pairing of Prisme’ (chilled) with Foie Gras (accompanied by cucumbers, blackberries and local honey) and it was absolutely wonderful. Don’t be so quick to judge this wine right off the shelf; it is not your everyday house wine, nor is it available in mass quantity at $4 a bottle. I challenge you to try again and enjoy this wine in the manner for which it was created.

QOTD: Everything I’ve done this year has been nerdy because I am a total nerd. There is nothing I do that’s not nerdy.

QotD: I haven’t done anything extremely nerdy this year, but a couple years ago I dressed up as spike spegiel from Cowboy Bebop. I took so much crap for that too, because none of my friends had ever seen the show. It was rough going a week or two because its all they would ever talk about.

QOTD: I watched a marathon of old school Star Trek episodes with my room mate because he’s all about it, and we have to share the TV.

It’s a shame this one didn’t bring the thunder, but please keep with the one wine episodes. It slows things down and gives us a chance to look a little closer.

QOTD: Wine geeky? Not much. But my life is geeky-ness so it is hard to say one thing only. Probably attending both an anime convention and a SciFi convention back to back

I attended an Anne Amie tasting last Friday. The wines were all interesting. QOTD – It is hard to pick one nerdy thing, but at wine tastings I get a lot of grief for swirling and sniffing the wine a lot. People think it is strange to sniff the wines with the glass tilted towards one side of my nose.

Very interesting, I want to try

QOTD: Watched WLTV everyday

Interesting episode, thanks!

QOTD: Hmmm, attempting to choose a highlight from 6 months of nerdiness would be the nerdiest thing I’ve done this year. The fact that I can’t come up with one would be an epic failure, of sorts…

INteresting show. Too bad it didnt bring the thunder.

QOTD: Joining up on twitter I think is the nerdiest so far.

I too like the one wine shows; short and sweet yet chock-a-block full of knowledge. QOTD: nerdiest thing so far this year…how about spending over $200 on books, and being super stoked to alphabetize them? Man, I love alphabetizing! Keep it real GV.

Oh, I watched that video of that short talk you gave on scaling – how’s the whole no swearing thing going? You broke yet?

Love the single wine episodes, bring on the learnin’! I agree it brings out the inner wine geek.

QOTD: My life is geekdom in a lot of ways, so I can’t really isolate one event:)
