  • The Slate article was great. With everything else he took you to task on he got the right points. Get rid of the pretense and try new things.

  • life’s too short…

    trust own palate. check. but dude, add this: if you find someone who consistently scores wines in the vein of the stuff you like, then, that could mean you have similar palates. classic episode–dude, you were SO nervous next to the biggest head in the biz–literally and figuratively. good for you. you hung with him on an off-the-cuff bit–now *THAT* is bringing the thunder. high-end new zealand savage white wine? 25 bones. food fight on national TV with Co-Nan O’Bri-an? Priceless, mofo. Yeah, I said it…

    Hey Hollywood,

    First off I just want to remind you if you weren’t such an attention ho you could’ve had 4 Vayniacs calling you an idiot in quad and you would’ve had a great meal to boot. I hope you enjoyed the dirt and tobacco ;’)

    Secondly here’s for your linky, linky link mood: http://tinyurl.com/2szpwt
    don’t say I never gave you anything.

    As far as building someone up to knock them down I know I speak for many when I say we’re in it for the roller coaster ride not the destination (because you know you always end up where you started).

    A few questions:

    Does Chris get combat pay?

    How long before you start calling out the lurkers again?

    Has anyone rec’d the new wristband?

    QOTD: To counter the swelled head: http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=33618 – 92RP for 16 bones and worthy for it’s name alone

    Please on the couch WITHOUT the glasses and ascot (you know a wine with such a vulgar and crass name would never pass the lips of Sir Gary)

    Great job on Conan last night. I taped the show to share with friends that weren’t able to see it due to work schedules. Loved it!

    QOTD: any kind of meade or honey wine, esp Chaucer’s Meade.

    Awesome episode btw! I’m a poor, poor college student, and inexpensive quality is something I’m in dire need of. haha

  • WTG on Conan GV! The wife and I watched it when she got home from work and we were both falling out of our chairs. You nailed it for sure man! I also thought it was great to see you back today with a very business as usual attitude. I’m sure it must’ve been a very very self empowering moment and it’s nice to see you didn’t (at least not today) change your style. It’s worked thus far man, don’t change it now. I’ll post a thread to this affect in the forums also… keep the scores!

    The world has no shortage of tough-guys…

    Please taste the 2004 JC Cellars Arrowhead Zinfandel tomorrow

  • What exit did the dirt that Conan ate come from? I’m suprised you spared him the sour cherries wrapped in a bloody venision steak marinated in V8. It would be fun to see Conan on your show someday sporting the smoking jacket and ascot we saw him wear in Napa on Youtube.

    QOTD: How about trying a REAL, undisputable wine cocktail like Canella’s Bellini. How about a feature of some Greek wines like a Moscofilero from either the folks from Boutari or Anastasi?
