Nice show. Big fan of Van Duzer Gris from Oregon. QOTD: boobs

Pinot Gris tends to be off my radar for the following reasons:
My mind associates it with generic Pinio Grigios.
I have found it to be unpredictable/unexciting at
times and do not want to take a chance.
However, the 2005 Epiphany -Goodchild Vineyard from Santa Maria Valley
was quite good–I gave away much at Christmas and it was enjoyed by all.
Thanks again GV.

Gary,

Good News or Bad News… maybe both.

My divorce is finalized June 21.

So…I plan on going somewhere in the world that weekend and experience some new wines.

QUESTION OF THE DAY… I can get you a Delta Buddy Pass to fly anywhere in the world almost, in Business Class Elite for under 300 bones round trip. Would you want to take a loyal viewer on a wine weekend expo?

I have an Italian Pinot Grigio ready to open, it Sudtirol so I’m expecting more Pinto Gris characteristics (semantically speaking) – hopefully no cauliflower in that one.

â??Rockets, I want plenty of Rocketsâ?. MASH.

And Brazil have equalised in the dying minutes to bring it to a disappointing 1-1 draw, we was robbed!

I’ve never had a good pinot gris, but have tried about ten. I still have my doubts after this episode.

QOTD: helicopters – remeber airwolf? You know you watched it.

Suggestion: you’re looking a little tired already. Next time you tape a bunch of shows, NO SPITTING. Episode 12, “Gary Falls out of His Chair” and episode 14 “Gary Pukes in the Spit Bucket” will be new classics.

Sorry, but I’d rather have a Corona than a pinot gris. Race cars …

Gary, great QOTD. I used to doodle incessantly during class, especially around 2nd grade (that would have been about 1977 or 1978?). I always doodled the floating cities from those Boston album covers. And Star Wars stuff like the Death Star and light sabers. Junk like that. Oh yeah, and cartoon characters and anything that sort of looked 3D was cool, especially writing out names and words in 3D.

quotd: does random lines on a wall with crayon count?

Favorite Italian dish…

Pasta with jumbo prawns and sea scallops with a Fra Diavolo sauce….yummmmmy!

I would draw googily eye monsters on landscapes. And then we would draw heavily fortified military bases on hills with giant cannons.
Couldn’t ignore it…sorry.
I would say keep doing new wines unless there is something absolutely amazing that you’ve had that you have to let us know about….under $10 of course *laugh*

QOTD: Fractals. Nothing naughty.

QOTD: Portraits of Jerry Garcia. His art shows up in galleries, on ties and even bottles of wine from Clos Du Bois, he is a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor and oh, yeh, was a pretty good musician too.

QOTD: Anotomically correct body parts. 😉

QTOD: I drew the old skool thanksgiving turkey using my hand as a template… oh yeah!

Thanks for the PGris show Gary, bring on the Alsace (and the Marsanne please)!
QOTD: my name on my desk ( kind of stupid as it’s hard to plead innocence)

PS for Karl Laczko: we were, as you say, robbed but looked more like a team (and that was without Rooney!)

I use to write my name backwards…and one time I wrote a whole letter to my girlfriend..she cheated though held it up to a mirror!!!
pass on the Pinot Gris….thanks for the info!

i always just drew lines and circles and shapes that intersected. i can’t draw actual ‘things’ for the life of me.

QOTD: loved to doodle, usually did faces and dogs, plus the “see-through cube”

Hmmmm…not too excited to try a lot of pinot gris if acidity is a big player.

QOTD: horses, me riding horses, horses against landscapes (yes, I was a pony-crazed little girl). Then I went through my cubist period and everything became abstract and angular. 🙂

Good episode, Gary. I’m glad you taped a bunch for us, so we don’t have to go for too long without a fun review!

I drew rainbows in kindergarten. They mean nothing to me now though.

Gary, you didn’t taste any butter in the Pinot Gris?

Thanks for Pinot Gris ep, more great info Gary. Congrats on the ABC bit also That is so freakin funny I laugh just thinking about it. You are the real deal!
QOTD:I used to be part of a 6th grade AM paperboy delivery “gang” and once drew a series of bicycle stunts and tricks we used to pull or imagined doing. My teacher busted me for that so I switched to “an island in the ocean with a palm tree on it”. By the way, what did you draw?

I join the protest against the fact that Alsace was not represented in the tasting!! Although I must say I never thought PG could be “crisp, acidic and light” when for me it is a fuller bodied, honeyed and rich wine… My most memorable bottle was Zind Humbrecht Herrenweg de Turckheim 1997, awesome stuff!!

QOTD: Golf course layouts!
