    First off, that gym comment had me rolling. Youve got some great one liners, though I was really hoping you would have taken a serious bite out of the desk. The Paso Robles wine sounds great. Ive tasted a few wines from that area and like them both, so its a place ill have to look more into in the future. QOTD: Root beer, baby! Henry Weinhards all the way. Classic draft REAL root beer. None of that water, sugar, and caramel color garbage for me.

    GReat show. Very entertaining. I was happy to see the Oak Monster dancing all over the gym class. I’ll never think of the OM in quite the same way again.

    QOTD: Root beer, and it isn’t close. I never get it, though. My wife hates the smell of root beer so much that she won’t let me have it. I make a special point to get some when she goes out of town.

    QOTD: Cream Soda is the Cognac of Carbonated Beverages

    Would like to see the 2007 Alluvium done. Seemed QUITE a bit more fruit forward and light oak. Maybe the winemaker saw this as he was preparing the 07 vintage!
