    So is a lurker anyone who watches but has never sent a comment???? Is that regardless of how much wine one may have purchased from Winelibrary as a result of watching???

    Great episode, thanks for saving me from trying not so great wines. Great job on free shipping. It cost a lot to get to Texas. I ordered yesterday, how about retroactive.

    I’m a MSU (Mississippi State) college football fan so I know all about losing. Over the years we’ve turned it into an art form. It sucks to lose but we still love our Dawgs! Love the show and keep up the good work.

    Glad I didn’t go down to the sports book to watch that awful Jets game.

    QOTD: Commie bastard holier-than-thou political hacks like Keith Olberman. He makes me puke. Makes any show unwatchable or unlistenable.

    Let’s face it, Gary, we all would like to see Chad on the sidelines, but not hurt. He just doesn’t have any deep threat so any defense can blitz at will.

    Gary,

    You made me laugh out loud while driving to work this morning with “no free shipping to Massachusetts!” Keep up the good work.

    Lurker No More,

    QOTD: no wine sales on Sunday in IN. and students that don’t apply themselves. it’s one thing if the topic is hard, but if you’re just lazy or think it’s dumb AND THEN complain to me that you don’t get it…..THAT really makes me sick.

    QOTD: I am sickened by celebrities (e.g., Madonna, Keith Olbermann) who decide that their opinions on political or social issues are worthy of discussion merely because they have achieved fame in some other venue.

    Gary,

    I’ve been lurking for like a week. I totally enjoy the segments. They’re pretty awesome. I can’t believe that I was completely unaware of this show. Your approach is such a wild/refreshing bundle of intellectual and visceral/sensual fervor. Although I know I’m most probably repeating oft told kudos, I still must say that it’s a really cool thing you’re doing. I’ve always been into the idea of wine and food connoisseurship without pretension and rigid ideas of propriety and Iâ??m happy youâ??re out there making wine consumption a less rarefied act.

    So here’s a question for you: If you were going to feast on a heaping plate of blood sausage with roasted pine nuts and raisins, what would be your wine of choice?

    What makes me sick? People eating a giant take out container of General Tso’s Chicken on the subway. I love General Tsoâ??s Chicken, but please, keep it home or at your local restaurant. Same goes for people clipping their fingernails on the subway. There must be some wine out there that tastes like freshly clipped damp fingernails. Itâ??s a very distinct smell. Thereâ??s something to add to your odor/flavor spectrum.

    C’mon Gary- even if you are cheering for Clemens- you don’t do it as Pennington is hopping off the field on one leg. That is about as classless as taping opposing teams’ signals.

    QOTD: Honestly… one-dimensional fruit-bombs, manufactured in super sized
    tanks in an industrial environment. Ever seen photographs from Gallo’s
    production sites? It makes me sick. A lot of stuff from Australia is manufactured
    in a similar way. This really makes me SICK and I avoid such wines like the
    plague.

  • Marz

    Nice show. Sorry about those Jets. Being born in Jersey, I like to see them win…..however, “with that being said” I ended up growing up in Texas (of all places) being a Vikings fan. Hi 5 with Lars! And the Spurs/Nets finals? Yeah, a bit torn, but had to go with the Spurs….anyway……Had my Mom watch the show and gonna have her watch the infamous 148. Trying to get another Vayniac!

    QOTD – What makes me sick? Usually too much bad wine 😉 LOL! Seriously, people who think they are entitled to something based solely upon being a member of a group and not because they deserve it via hard work, knowledge, paying for it, earning it, etc…..

    Gary – longtime lurker, but have watched from the beginning and love your honest opinions. I consider myself knowledgeable in wine – but always learn something new with your show. Today’s show finally made me come out – probably felt a little sorry for you Jets fans. Anyways, keep up the great work and thanks for the free shipping!

    I was trying to figure out who that GV bobble head looked like. I was watching golf this weekend and there he was…Nick Faldo.

    We love free shipping, thank you.

    QOTD: After drinking wine all night, you have to join the group for a night cap and for some unkown reason you have either a Tequilla or Jack Daniels.

    P-A-T-S, PATS!, PATS!, PATS!

    QOTD: A home crowd celebrating an injury to their starting QB, then trying to spin it and say they were just cheering for his replacement. Isn’t that the same thing? Either way you look at it, it’s pretty low.

    I love the lurker shirt. If I have a spare $10 on payday I have to get one.

    Hi,

    I’m a first time poster. I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and love your show. Perhaps I’ll check out that free shipping! 🙂

    QOTD: What makes me sick is how badly my fantasy football team did in week 1. Not very meaningful, but it means something to me!

  • DT

    QOTD: Watching the beloved Bears lose a winnable game against the Chargers and lose the heart of their secondary to a knee injury, probably forever. At least Jets fans felt like cheering Pennington’s replacement…

    Agree on Olberman – he’s become one of those guys who acts like he thinks he’s insightful, but he ain’t.
