    Gary — I can’t remember you ever doing a vertical tasting (maybe you did it over two years). It’d be very interesting to see the same wine over 3 or 4 years.

    Gary,

    As per a couple of episodes ago, I think you are funny, but then again I’ve always been told I am the only one who laughs at my jokes.

    How do you feel about the cap top bottles versus corked bottles? I know I have had my share of poorly corked bottles and I am interested to know if how a wine is stopped changes its quality?

    Oh, and Gary, you taste great!

    Susan,

    I can’t see through walls but my wife thinks I can read minds.

    As to your question: It’s just a guess based on how many people are usually standing up when they are on the computer. I know there are some people who are but I’m sure they are a minority.

    SeanM,
    If you can read minds, then none of us need to post right?
    Just some humor and kidding
    I am sure most people sit while on the computer but
    you never really know about some people!

    By the way every one?
    Was that Crisco, Bardol, or Vagisil on KennyΓ’??s palm last night?”
    Comment 240: By Brandon M

    Looked like poop to me…..but as he did nto get caughted and no one checked while it was there he got away with it, was probally pine tar or something…cheating is part of baseball, unlike other sports, he got away with it so more power to him.

    Gary’s child… a chip of the VAYNER-block,

    Matty Van (#269)…that’s exactly what I told a fellow Tiger fan today. That brown smudge looked like poop. Maybe he was making wine! πŸ˜€

    It looks like LizV will remain VaynerWIFE for a while before becoming VaynerMOM.

    I don’t if anyone just saw Kenny Rogers’ Press Conference. He just announced that, before the game, he had a small glass of a really inky, viscuous Petite Sirah and that’s what the stain on his hand.

    He likened the “stain” to “The Wine Room’s” imported floor at The Wine Library. He instructed reporters, who didn’t understand, to simply watch WLTV’s Episode #4 (he also recommended the Decanting episode).

    To answer your question my favorite Chardonney is the William Hill Reserve 2001. Soft and buttery to the pallet. Great with seaford,chicken, or just by itself.

    If it’s a girl, it would be a LizzieCHIP.
