    Whoa, a bonus show, sweet!!

    QOD – Probably that heat show you’ve been promising for 298 episodes. Oh wait, I forgot about the rooftop-bottle episode. Hmm…guess I have no idea.

  • … reminds me of that old joke:

    How do you keep a fool in suspense for 24 hours?

    Just got your e-mail. I am scared!! Have so enjoyed the last year and afraid it is about to end. Have to go watch my kid play volleyball and then will rush home to find out what’s up.

    Hi Gary. I’ve been “lurking” for a few weeks now (read about your show in Slate). Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy the show and have been learning a lot. I was going to register for a wristband (but did not) but noticed that you are wearing a Vassar shirt in the photo that appears when you click on the link. Did you go there? I was class of 1985.

    Do you think that Pennington’s shoulder will make it through this season?

    My guess is that Gary’s going to start a 24/7 cable tv station devoted to wine and wine reviews,

    After watching this episode I am going to have to go try one of the last two wines just to have an Austrailian Shiraz that isn’t an over-sugar-fied mess.
