    Have you ever liked the first wine you tasted after a Jets Loss?

    Gary the Jets are like a Three-Legged dog- you love them but you can’t expect them to win a race.

    Good job on the raidio- Also alcohol is allowed to be a full 1% off the bottle label so a 13% can be 14% or 12%

  • Mets fan 13: Ya…I’ve discovered that when it does that, just pause it and go walk around for a while. And then come back and press play.

    Gary: Big fan of Oregon Pinots, they’re just overpriced sometimes. Great episode. Finally, some respect for the Bears. Atta boy. Sorry about your Jets.

    QOD: I’d have to say my high school art teacher, Ms. Eva Kutschied. She was the best, not only a great art teacher, but a great friend. I think she was at my school (Parkland High School, El Paso Texas) when I was in 10th until I graduated in 89, but maybe 11th and 12th. But she was a person that I had (have) the utmost respect for. Also, my wife Kristen is a high school English teacher at Steinmetz High School in Chicago, and she is most definately a great teacher. She ALWAYS corrects me when I say something wrong. So, I she’s my current favorite school teacher.

    OK…take care man. And I don’t have a tasting note off the top of my head that’s all wacky like you’re looking for. But when I get one, I’ll let you know.

    GO BEARS!!!

    Gary,
    great episode as always. loved the radio show today, especially the mangos comment.
    by the way, its pronounced or-eh-ghin. i can let you slide on mispronouncing italian and french names, but not one of the 50 states.
    Wacky tasting note: “smells like old people”. That was what i thought the first time i had a chinon. it was by charles joguet from the 2002 vintage, and i really thought it smelled like old people. for some reason all i could think of was my grandpa’s wool sweaters he used to wear. weird. then i thought the wine tasted like minestrone soup. Eventually i tried more and got used to Cab franc tasting profiles, and now i love them. i still occasionally get that “old people” smell, but i like it.
    QOD: Parents.

    Great episode Gary – you were reading my mind – I was preparing to shop for some Pinot’s for Thanksgiving. As for the expensive wine in restaurants – I would have to say that it also depends on the restaurant – I have found that in your ordinary average restaurants that have less than adequate storage (which is most) that the quality of the expensive bottles is less due to the lack of turnover as it subjected longer to improper conditions. Maybe its just been my luck, but I have been disappointed each and every time. Now go to your five star restaurant – the game all changes, then order away & get out your wallet.

    QOD: My wife Jennifer – I guess that’s why she won teacher of the year last year in her school! Now if they would only give her a pension or at least something to help prepare for retirement. You have to love our education system in this country – they say their in desperate need of teachers, but yet their are no jobs and then when you get one – they don’t provide a pension, 403b or anything – great way to invest in our youth!!!!

    Best teacher: Honors English, Junior Year at Raritan HS in Hazlet, NJ: Mrs. Trimboli. Taught me how to think.

    Current favorite QPR Pinot Noir: A to Z Pinot Noir, and not just because my twins’ names are Alex and Zoe.

    Gary: what do you think about Vacu-Vin vs. Nitrogen vs. Argon for keeping red wine from oxidizing. I use Winekeeper Nitrogen, and notice that some wines I can drink immediately after serving, but some need to “bubble out” or else they taste funky. Any similar experiences?

    Mrs. Endall. 2nd grade in Brandon, Manitoba back in 1971. Made me feel wlecome when I tranferred in just before the Christmas break. Really sweet grandmotherly woman. R-rated version would be Miss Delmonico, 9th grade French teacher. Why couldn’t she have been one of those teachers we hear about on Fox news these days?

    Great episode Gary. I’m glad you did this one. I thought I knew Pinot Noir before but over the past year I found out that I was wrong and I have TONS to learn…thanks for the lesson.

    QOTD: Best teacher ever…Mr. Dennis was my Latin teacher from 9th to 12th grade. He also taught a few english classed in between. It seemed that every class had a life lesson that you either got then or ten years down the road the importance hits you like a cold wind.
    Thanks Mr. Dennis you have helped me to understand!!!

    I have not been drinking much pino noir much in the past 6 months….I dont really know why..

    QOD – my friend brett, taught me an entire new perspective of looking at things in life, to ignore, not accept and change the bad and to only focus on the good. There are other things he taught me but there not family friendly so I will keep them to myself.

    GV – maybe you can be president of Kazakhstan or the tiny country of Monaco

    Comment 21: By DWildman – I use a vacuvin have not tried nitrogen, maybe I will get one for x-mas…

    Gary – great show. I don’t think you can be Vice President either. First the jets and now this. Bummer. Favorite teacher is too hard though I’ve learned a lot by reading about Thomas Jefferson. An amazing man who also had the passion for wine.
