    QOTD: The plan?!? The plan?!? Please, Gary, it’s Friday. The plan was toast by Monday afternoon around 2pm. If you want to ask about the plan, at least ask earlier in the week when I still remember what it is supposed to be!

    Okay, the plan. I’ll tell you the plan. (Does this text box have a character limi…

    so, can you toss a “deer” t-shirt (XXL) in with a case of Schoffit so i don’t have to pay shipping on the shirt?

    QOTD: The plan – to drink good quality coffee and wine most days, while finding good company, all the while working for something that I believe in. Still working on it all.

    Personally, I prefer the pickles shirt. 😛 From a visual-design standpoint, the pickles tee design strikes me as being far more elegant, cohesive, and clever than the others. 😛 However, most of the others are very difficult to see clearly on the site. The pictures with people wearing them are nice, but I really can’t get a sense of the detail. The dodgeball shirt, in particular, is difficult to decipher from the pics on the site; and I think all of the complicated designs suffer from the same problem. I really love the deer shirt though.

    QOTD: What’s the plan? The plan is medical school. The plan is to change the world. And the plan is to watch WLTV.

    Gary, you must be some kind of seriously twisted masochist. You already get more email on a daily basis than any mere human with your schedule ought to be able to handle, and yet you just keep giving us more and more ways to take up your time. I don’t know how you do it, but I’m sending you the friend requests anyway.

    The plan used to be to accumulate the most toys. Now the plan is to accumulate the most wine. The reason for this plan is to be able to retire at 50 something and drink over the next 30 or so years (God willing) the wine I have accumulated.

  • RieslingRon

    I’m a big riesling fan, especially German Mosels, so I really enjoyed this episode. I haven’t noticed any of these brands in my neck of the woods, but I will remain on the lookout.

    QOTD: The plan is not firm yet, but is will be low key and on the spur of the moment

    Have a great Father’s Day.

    Wha???!!! I freaked when I heard only 140 of each design and sweated that I wouldn’t get in on it, these poseurs didn’t pony up to spread the WL love? Sheesh…. I got my five and will wear them proudly. At least I won’t have to worry about someone else showing up at a state dinner in the same shirt.

    I’ll confess, I haven’t submitted a pic yet, we have a bit of a skirmish in the Bossman household in that I wanted to photo the cat wearing the sweatband as a hat. The youngest claimed it was too tight and was thisclose to reporting me to the SPCA for cruelty to critters….. back to the drawing board. BUT it doesn’t mean I absconded with the thing just trying to think up something original enough to do the show justice (you certainly don’t want my mug posted, trust me).

    QOTD: The plan is, and you’re sworned to secrecy under penalty of death by Two Buck Chuck ingestion, to be spontaneous and not plan past the next meal/wine pairing.

    Great! I only knew of rieslings as a sickeningly sweet concoction until I visited Hungary and Austria last summer. Wow, what an awakening. Now I always look for them. Thanks for the pointing out a couple that are a little easier on the wallet (especially after forking out bigger bones for the Grosset Riesling Polish Hill).

    QOTD: Keep busting my ass until I can retire and drink great wine every day for the rest of my life! Only 14 more to go . . .

    I like Riesling, just can’t figure out which of those tall-ass, skinny bottles to pick.

    QOTD: My plan is to make a ton of dough and go nice places with my family, basically see the world, and immerse myself in whatever local culture I am taking part in that week. Sampling the wine is of course mandatory.
    My secret plan is to meet you, some how, some way. Not in a creepy stalker kind of way, but you know.

    Awesome episode, I love rieslings, Just got back from a trip to Germany, unfortunately I only brought back 6 bottles. I wouldn’t mind seeing some Gewurztraminers being tasted on the show.
    QOTD..
    The plan is to enjoy good wine, good food, with friends and family sprinkled in for good balance. Simple recipies are often the best!
