    QOTD: A good cigar.

    Jamocha Almond Fudge isn’t half bad either.

    GREAT episode. I was laughing so hard about your red radish pill popping habit.

    QOTD: wearing shorts, loafers and no socks in the summer. this outfit may be fine for anyone over the ago of 50, but it really stands out on a 24 year old.

    Great episode today. I am so old school!

    QOTD: You can’t get more old school than Tom Glavine. No 100 mph fastball, just guile, smarts and execution of the fundamentals. Great fielder, most bunts in baseball history. Future 300 game winner and HOFer. I have total respect for the guy, even if he gets in as a Brave.

    Had a split of the 1990 Suduiraut last weekend……… got some from Haskells but you are killing their price!! = ) Wonderful to show my wife what ALL those sauternes I’ve been buying her, will turn out to be some day. Needless to say “I’m a freaking genius” and she loves me even more!!

    QOTD: I guess “Old School” is relative, but as a 30-something my fav old-school is 90s grunge rock – Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, even some old Pearl Jam.

    And going back a little more…Beastie Boys – License to Ill! “Now here’s a little story I got to tell…”

    Good show, I’ve been drinking old world wines lately, so it was a timely episode. I must admit, I have grown to prefer the fruit bombs, these old guys don’t do it for me anymore.

    QOTD: The smell of a baseball field (grass, dirt, sweat and glory).

    Love coffee ice cream. LOVE IT!
    Thanks for the “old school” wine tasting.
    QOTD: Saturday morning cartoon & cereal routine.
    Or Incredible Hulk & Dukes of Hazzard night. Wasn’t Wonder Woman on that night too? My mother used to tie a blanket around my neck and I’d spin in circles with her purse in my hand.

    QOTD: The old skool wine is easy Chateauneuf. Especially Boisrenard, who wouldn’t right. Foodwise though SUSHI. Now some may read this and think about the new wave sushi crap spreading like wild fire all over the country, but after working for a while in Japan having real deal traditional style sushi (or for that matter going full tilt and allowing omikase)there is nothing more hip and old school at the same time. Great show G-Man, way to throw down.

    GV, great episode. It moves into my top five! Love Old World wines. Viva La France!

    QOTD: From my student days, plotting revolution in the Deux Maggots cafe. Happy May Day!

    QOTD: 50s hot rods. Like a 51 Mercury with a couple inches chopped out of the roof, painted black, and red wheels with white walls.

    QOTD: My favorite old school thing is old 35mm cameras, particularly rangefinders. I have two Konica Auto S2s, a Canonet QL 17, and a Minolta SRT 102 (slr, not a rangefinder). I try to use them all at least once in a while. The Canonet traveled through Europe with me next to my Digital SLR.

  • Portland Guy

    First? Whoa, just missed it. But a solid episode eases my disappoointment. QOTD – Bell bottoms from the late ’60’s & real Army surplus stuff from WWII and Korea. Loved those cotton fatigues. (of course, hated them when the Army gave them to me for ‘free.’

    Great episode. Your list looks like it could have come from one of my orders.

    Your review on the Fronholz is very similar to mine.

    Couldn’t agree with you more about visiting Burgundy. One of the great two weeks of my life was Burgundy in 1986. Back when you could still afford them.

    Great selections.

    Enjoyed the episode thoroughly. I also love red radish!
