    Was at the store Saturday and tasted the Bracco Chianti, a definite PAAASSSS, especially at its price. There’s a lot better Chiantis out there for less. But I was glad to see you got in the ’01 Wolf Blass Black Label Cab Sauv/Shiraz. One of the best wines at the tasting. Pricey but what a great wine, had to buy.

    BTW, Gary, when I drove away and turned on the radio, what should start playing but “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

    Nice offer on the shipping for the Jets game. The Dolphins season is over for all intents and purposes now anyway, but with the free shipping promise, I guess I win either way. 🙂

  • Just finished watching this ep., and to answer the QOD, I just finished reading “Wild: The Jack Nicholson Biography” and moved on to “The Other Hollywood” – a retelling of the evolution of the porn industry told through interviews of the people that were there. 🙂

  • Damn Falcons couldn’t keep it together today…
    But we have some free shipping in order!!!
    GaryV, two interceptions by our beloved #54!! Hang his jersey again in respect.

    I think the Dirty Birds will be in desperation mode next week vs. the Steelers (my other favorite team)…who do I want to win? Falcons have a better chance of doing something this year.

    QOTD:

    Just finished: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (young author who lives in Brooklyn).

    This is his second book, which I enjoyed even more than the first one-Everything Is Illuminated. Movie based on the first book is excellent too.

    I highly recommend both books as well as a movie. One more suggestion:
    One should see the movie before reading Everything Is Illuminated.

    Currently reading DK Prague tour guide, Rick Steves Prague and Esquire magazine.

    Congratulations, Gary!

    Looking forward free shipping! (Yes, I am shallow).

    Gary,

    Let me address a topic that is seldom discussed and usually ignored, the post-finish effect. These are the gustatory-olfactory notes that you experience after the finish subsides, deep in the posterior palate (the glottis area, where the nasopharinix meets the oral pharynx); the “back” of the throat. It is usually experienced with very well made wine, with a complexity that can hold up against the acid neutralizing environment of the throat. It is hard to say if this is taste or smell; olfaction or gustation. It usually strikes suddenly and quit pleasantly when least expected. Usually several seconds or even minutes after the Finish ends. And it can last for minutes or a half hour after sampling a wine. The sensation it produces is usually of a “Hard” quality; notes of dark wood and earth, akin to heavy base notes in music.

    PS My friend ask me to go to the Jet game, but I past. What a fool I am.
