    Just missed it, March 31, 1985 at Madison Sq Garden.

    Love the “V” especially Horton from podunk Virginia.

    QOTD: I started it by taking off today to go fishing but I was dissed so that leaves me to sit at the pool, watch the ladies and begin tasting some nice Italian whites. Since the weather should be gorgeous here in DC, I plan on playing some tennis, cooking on the grille and more wine.

    TGIF

    Cheers

    Saturday, having a little dinner party. Will select the wine based on what Suerad decides to make.
    Sunday, maybe kayaking on the Hudson, Turkish kabobs for dinner.

    > Whatâ??s up with the hairdo?

    Does “There’s Something About Mary” conjure-up any images?

  • NathanN

    Cool viognier show & cool hair. I have to show the kids this. Never tried a voignier but have one in the cellar. Will have to give it a try soon.

    QOTD: Going to a blues concert in the park tonight with the family and enjoy some cheese & wine in the 90 deg heat. Saturday play with the kids and clean out the basement. Sunday church then a nap. That is what I am up to how about you?

    qotd: i’m going to find out whether or not i like my bordeaux aged. this weekend i’ll be opening up a bottle of 2001 ferriere, which i recently got from the wl free ship offer last week. i know it’s probably still a baby considering the margaux pedigree but it’s the oldest vintage i’ve got and it’s ready to drink now according to ws tasting note. i would’ve loved to have gotten a bottle of the 1995 ferriere a while back but they’re all gone now! no point in waiting to drink my 2005 futures (when i get them) if i like them young.

    Good to see some heavy hitting affordable entries there, man. The past few days have been making me want to just whip out my credit card and start ordering… and for a complete wine newb like myself, a good honest opinion is incredibly valuable.. and … you caught the COUCH on fire?? Cheers bro.

    P.S. – Have you ever tried Cycles Gladiator ’04 Pinot Noir? It’s growing on me. A little dry, not bitter, not bad. I think it was even rated 91, though I completely forgot the critic who rated it. Perhaps that’d be a interesting taste for the next “all-request” show 😉

    Holy crap I’m writing too much.. it’s the alcohol speaking.. Wine + Wine Library TV = LOW PRODUCTIVITY!

  • Can I suggest that next to the “Play” and “review at cork’d” links at the bottom, there be added a “Add to my Shopping List” link? There is room, and if you want to build the tie-in with cork’d, that is definitely a feature I’m starting to use, and it would be nice to be able to add in one click wines you mention on the show that I decide to try down the line (in this case the Bilancia). Thanks!

    QOTD: Celebrating shabbat with some Jewish friends, drinking some good wine. Going to Sierra Nevada Music Festival. Surfing. Loving life, loving the sun.

    Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff won the WWF Tag Team Championship on Sunday, March 31, 1985 at the first Wrestlemania at MSG. They beat The US Express (Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo) after the Sheik nailed Windham with a cane and Volkoff landed on top of Windam for the 1-2-3!
