    Seems like a very laid-back Friday everywhere. Nice and mellow show.

    QOTD – favorite new discovery is that I like the beach. I haven’t in the past, but maybe b/c I had only tried the Jersey shore. Booooo to the jersey shore.

    Whoa, I’m going to have to try out the Chappellet. I’ve been eyeing it for a while now and Gary dissing it gives me the extra push to try it. It will be interesting to see if I agree or not. Cool!

    Wow, what a racy show today. Phrases like “a threesome I’d like to be a part of” and “hot, bitter action” keep popping up!

    QOTD: My favorite new discovery is a Wine Blog called “Wannabe Wino.” Not only do I agree with the blogs title, the author has a great style and she reviews very different and interesting wines. I have no connection with the blog, but the URL is http://wannabewino.blogspot.com/

    Have a great Labor Day weekend, Gary.

    Nice episode, not a huge chard fan but good info if my palate changes.

    QOTD – Wineries with no or only local distribution, it’s cool to taste a wine that not too many others have tried.
