QOTD – Funny enough that you mentioned “personal notes”. Recently I had a glass of Jacob’s Creek 2005 Res Cab (the bottle had been left opened for a little too long…) and it had a distinct flavor of my abuela’s con gris (black beans and rice)!

Do you have any more of those wrist bands? I want one, lol

    SSChris – thank you. I’ve used the spreadsheet plenty of times to compare notes. Very nice work. I hope that WLTV sends you a case a month to keep you rolling.

    QOTD: “a hint of Taco Bell *ahem* hot sauce” when referring to a little Jalepeno spice flavor.

    QOD – cat litter, wet road with skid marks, and the wormy smell in the yard after a lot of rain.

    Wristbands – Nice touch!!!!!!!!!

    Casper the Friendly Ghost was great. I never could understand why people were always so afraid of a FRIENDLY ghost. I used to watch it on CH 56 in MA. In CT we got stations from MA, CT, NY, and NJ — it was great!

    QOD: Breakfast Club — Where I went to college the bars would open at 7AM on Saturdays when there was a football game. The bar was usually a mess from the night before. Think cigarette smoke, stale beer, vomit, urine, screwdrivers and bloody mary’s. Put all that in a blender and you’ve got Breakfast Club.

    Cool Wristbands…Now we can all look like Bjorn Borg…

  • QOTD: My unique tasting note which NO expert wine taster ever uses: grapes.
    That’s right, grapes. Take a bunch of grapes and ferment them and you’ll find yourselves AMAZED at how much it tastes like wine.

    Gary interesting Kosher episode. Having a little trouble with the wristband link I’ll try later.Mello Smello was the brand name that hooked up the scratch and sniff and the wild cherry clown(orange afro giant cherry colored nose mmmm). Or the bag of peanuts. But as you mentioned and my personal favorite was the skunk,or possibly the band aid.QOTD On a 04 Francis Coppala Claret the nose pizza dough.

    Great show Gary! Never had a kosher wine before. I probably still won’t run out to find one, but if I come across one, I promise I won’t rule it out because it is kosher. Thanks for the wristband!

    QOTD – My elementary school library. Quite a unique nose, I must say.

    Also, TimF, are you a Boilermaker?? Because they do a breakfast club in West Lafayette.

    Maybe goosenberries are named after the South African professional golfer (Retief Goosen). Have to try that cab – sounds like a winner for the money.

    QOTD – the organic chem lab stockroom. (After all, flavors are just collections of volatile organics.)

    Excellent, as usual.
    QOTD: My mother’s raspberry tarts.
    Casper- watched the cartoon as a young lass, and my father frequently read me Casper the Friendly Ghost before bed time.
    Scratch & sniff- all over my notebooks. C’mon.

  • The Smartest Girl in San Franc

    Oh snap — the wristbands!

    LOVED the color coordination of the green shirt, the wristbands, the cute little flower on the white board. It’s springtime! And springtime is good. Speaking of springtime and flowers, the whole set had a tinge of green today — even the wall in the background.

    And props on the minimalism of the set over the past months — there is episode a while ago in which the basketball players were standing on your head.

    QOTD: the jasmine rice at a beachside restaurant in bali.

    Gary, Gary, Gary. I accept that you are foremost authority on wine….but when it comes to ball, your love of Patrick Ewing and belief that you could even score one point against me is making you look delusional and sad.
    I am telling you….we need to set the game up. You need to come up to Canada, I’ll show you a good time in Niagara (drink some Icewine, check out winespectator.com Steven Page column) and I will woop your ASS! Then, we’ll drink a ’77 Fonseca to sooth your ego! I am dying for a game!
    I emailed to get a wristband so I hope you ship to Canada. If not, let me know know and I’ll get you an address of a distant relative or something but I need one cause it’s gonna be in the photo of me drilling the threes on your head and showing you my lovely jump hook! Feel that Hizszy!
