Like D'arenberg, Marquis Philips (#9), have a bottle of Jasper Hill, have not had it yet (it's resting in the cellar). QOTD-Don't remember, generally would not open a wine on NYE unless I knew it was good. http://www.winelx.com

“Worst New Years Wine–2007” : NV Friexenet Spumante, for $9.99, from a gas station convenience store that we stopped at. Treacly, nasty, swill. I normally like everything from brut to icewine, but I should’ve stayed away from this. Thankfully, it was not what we toasted the New Year in with…

Top 20!

I agree with the new resolution by pairing the wine with cheese. Good move.

As for the Jets, congrats! And kick their arse on Sunday. I, too, hate the Patriots, not as much as the Ravens but still, spank them.

My boys made it to the playoffs though should have a tough time with LJ. Wish the Colts luck and maybe we will meet each other in Indy and have a glass of Dominus on me!

Go Jets and Colts!

I had a visit from the Oak Monster in the guise of a Silver Oak Cab that completely overpowered a delicious tuna steak.

Happy New Year GV!

Worst wine I had over NYE was a 2004 Bennett Family Reserve chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. It wasn’t expensive (around $12) but I have had very good wines in that price range. Flavor was flat and a little off balance. Not a fan.

He, he, he … just watched episode #1 AFTER watching #157. Is it just me, or has Gary changed from an innocent choir boy to a ready-to-be-admitted JETS-lunatic in just a year? Thoughts anyone? 🙂

Peace & love from Denmark …..

QOTD: 2005 Emu Wine Company Riesling (Tazmania). It tasted like lemon juice + that white powder used to make sour candy, mixed in with tap water. Blech… Can anyone recommend a good Tazmanian wine? I bought it primarily for the novelty of the location (at least to me).

My Packers did not get the breaks they needed, demonstrating that in the NFL, every win and loss over the season counts. That’s why it’s the best sport. As I also live in Indy, I’ll wish the Colts good luck.
