    intro’s are great. wines sounded spectacular also. overall a great way to end the week. glad you explained the punt so thoroughly. QOTD: my buddy’s classroom across the hall is almost a spitting image of mine. But he teaches higher level classes so he’s always much more calm and relaxed and his room is clean at the end of the day.

    Top 10!!!1 Whoohooo!
    (Not).
    Great topic. Interesting idea. Any others that look kinda the same (other than having cute Aussie animals on them?)

    By the way – – what are those Thundercats doing on your table? I know “why” they’re there – just wondering what they are doing. They look like they are trying to make more Thundercats.

  • First off, great video Lars. Second, Gary, are you suggesting that a Brandon Jacobs fumble (See every third Jacobs carry) is less dangerous than an Eli pick? Finally, QOTD: I have no idea…. Okay, the lids that Groundwork (A coffee place with several locations in LA. Speaking of which, what’s the plan GV?) use look just like the fantastic Solo lids, but are effing pieces of junk.

    I like to golf and my wife does not. She looks at the clubs and thinks that they are all the same. But as you know, each club has a purpose. Whats funny is that my wife does not drink wine and thinks grape juice is cheaper. She is so practicle.

    P.S. In case she reads this, I love you.

  • Rob B.

    Lars was the best part of the show today!!! Great Intro LARS!!!
    Gary Lay off the Giants comments.
    I don’t answer any QOTD on days you diss the GMEN.

  • QOTD: The icons to the Pownce client and a MP3 bitrate changer program I have look a little similar, but the programs they run are completely different.

    I know, I know. That was a dumb answer.

    I have a Whisperkool through wall cooling unit in my walk in cellar. Keeps LIQUID at 55 degrees. I could sleep in my cellar 😉

    QOTD: Meat from a super market vs. a quality butcher. One eats like leather and one like, well…….. you know what I mean!

    QOTD: Probably me and Gary. My 4 year old nephew just walked into my office and saw Gary on the screen and asked if that was me. hahaha
    Probably the only thing we have in common is our love for early 80’s tv cartoons like the Thundercats. I am not the kind of guy starting a video blog, he can have it.

  • You didn’t have this wine during the Australian Shiraz/Viognier Ep. I was really intrigued after the Terlato/Chapoutier was sold out. You are spot on with Victoria. Thanks for turning me on to the region!

    QOTD: two things that look the same and are completely different. . .my profession(in wine) and my passion(in wine).

    Lars was as usual hilarious.
    QOTD my driver and three-wood. They look the same, but I slice the hell with the driver, and hit the three wood straight (usually).

    easy qotd, gv……. music.

    take two bands who play the same style of music, one of which has that certain something, the other that doesn’t, and put them side by side. the band that doesn’t have the spark… they look the same, they can sound the same, they can have the same cover art, they can thank the same bands in their liner notes…. heck, the crappy band can even seem to be as good at first. but six month later, that album is being used as a coaster for your gin and tonics, while the other is still in your cd player.

    have an awesome weekend everybody…

    So……….
    What is the point of the punt, IN A WINE BOTTLE?! Ha ha football, but I had the exact same question as that guy did after watching the Sea Smoke epsiode.
    Anyone?

  • Funny how you crap on the G-men while getting on the punting soap box, even w/ the in-depth detail of mentioning the technique of using an angle to place the ball inside the 20….you mention Eli, you mention Brandon…and you fail to say anything about our MVP Jeff Feagles? Hello, lead the NFL on punts inside the 20 ever since they started tracking that statistic!? How convenient of you. You also forgot to mention how lame the green goobers are…can’t wait to watch Puntington’s shoulder get completely dislodged from the socket when Strahan ruptures it…assuming he doesn’t quit!

    I think you may have hurt that guy’s feelings by not answering the punt question.

    QOTD – Umm…my two hands? They look remarkably similar. But they really are very different.

    Got the wristband today, thanks! Digital camera crapped the bed, so nadda for a picture in the immediate future. QOTD: My twin nephews.

  • Jen Loves Wine

    Hey Gary — We tried the 2004 Parsons Flat a few weeks ago an weren’t overwhelmed either — gave it an 89. It just didn’t have the complexity we thought it would and for that price point I think we were expecting a little more. QOTD: Can’t really think of anything. Have a good weekend.

  • Build a wine closet. I did so, with a refurbished refrigeration unit (basically an AC), shelving that I bought used from Craigs List…. and now I have room for 500 bottles… Much better than a cooler….

    And it is totally not full!

    Go to Seattle Seahawks Whine.com!!!!! Do not buy!

    QOTD: The spaghetti sauce I made last night and everything I made before it. Because last night I added cab. sav. for the first time. So while it only looks a little different, its taste is a world apart.

    Have fun in Idaho!
