MR.V……13 IS THE NEW 10.
CLEMENS IS THE NEW CHAD PENN.
REYES IS THE NEW JETER.
AND THE PATS ARE THE NFL CHEATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty tricks
The Patriots stealing signals? Mark Kriegel says it’s just the latest conniving scheme from a very shady HC of NE.
NEW YORK (AP) – The NFL is looking into claims a New England Patriots employee was videotaping signals by Jets coaches on New York’s sideline during the season opener.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SASHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about the Jets 🙁
Thanks sooo much for the free shipping! (and for the great reviews!)

Happy Birthday Sasha!!

G’day Gary.

Comming from Australia we don’t know much about American Football. If your Jets team wins or looses can you explain why and maybe a little about the game.

Thanks

Sorry about the Jets. I feel your pain (Saints Fan). I know you aren’t packing it in already keep the faith. 15 more game to go.

QOTD: Cheaters!! N.E.

Sasha, you da’ man. You my rukka rukka real homie. Much love.

I would say sorry about the Jets but they really, and I mean like that crap ass wine you tasted today, sucked big Kahuna. No offense to Kahuna, of course.

Other than that? Hmmm, what makes me sick. Business people. “Business people” who are so god darn high on their fleeting success horse that they just don’t give a rat’s ass about anyone “lower” than them. That pisses me the “F” off. At the end of the day, your value is counted as how you enhance the lives of the people around you right? That’s why we all love wine; because, at it’s best wine can enhance our lives and our relationships with our friends. God crappin’ arrogant, snobby, fake ass dorks. Smile sometimes. Get your head out of the Wall Street Journal and talk to your friends and family, will ya’?!

Go Pats (again) and Happy Birthday Sasha.

Thanks for the episode. The first wine you tasted is in the store that I work and I hadn’t tried it yet.

Not an NFL fan so I’m not getting all time and energy you spend on it, but oh well.

Sent the email to your dad. Kind of weird but fun.

Hey Gary, thanks

QOTD: Ignorance and aggression, but I’ll also whack in a few ‘wine’ focused responses:
– 40% wine tax in Hong Kong.
– Shit poor wine storage in Hong Kong which means that bottles of wine in the super-market are often covered in mold.
– The embarrassing bad Australian wines sold in Hong Kong; though many good ones are out there.
– The belief in the Asian wine market that cork seals are better then screw tops (especially in a tropical environment).
– 400% mark-up from retail on restaurant wine lists in Hong Kong.
– Restaurants that refuse to serve you tap water.
– And the lack of respect/acknowledgement/knowledge about Australian Riesling, Semillon, fortifieds and Botrytis affected dessert wines.

Cheers
Andrew

Sorry about your Jets. But, hey, sadly, I am a Browns fan and we sucked pretty badly as well. In fact so badly, that we not only changed QBs in the first quarter, but we traded our starting QB yesterday. Sigh!

QOTD: The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Yankees make me SICK. 🙁

BTW, I actually had a Lemberger from Washington State and it was interesting – a little weak, perhaps, but still kind of interesting to try.

QOTD: Cleaning up vomit…my daughter threw up in my car yesterday.

Gary…converted lurker. New to the site and love the idea and innovation!!! Also, fellow Jets fan and happy to hear you set the record straight with the the whole “Chad booing” situation.

Keep up the good work…hope to be more active here in the future.

Gary:

Great show. Sorry for the Jets 🙁 There’s always next week!

Happy Birthday from Chapel Hill…a few days late to Pappa Vayniac!

Hooray for FREE SHIPPING!

Great t-Shirt….but what do you call a part-time lurker??? When ya gotta work…sometimes that’s what ya have to be.

QOTD: The list is endless. Most folks right on target (politicians, screaming kids, wine snobs at wine tastings) but one not mentioned…wine sludge at the bottom of a bottle. Ever take an accidental gulp of that! UGHHHH

Tip of the day (TOD)….here’s a trick I learned from my friend Randy S. at Ledson Winery in Sonoma. To do a real “sniffy-sniff”, take one of your BIG bordeaux glasses, add about 1 ounce of wine, tilt the glass on it’s side so it’s flat on the table (making sure not to spill any juice) and roll it back & forth a several times to throughly coat the glass. Then do a “sniffy-sniff”. You will be amazed!!!! Totally unconventional(isn’t that what this is all about anyway!), wine snobs will shriek :o, The nose of the wine takes on a whole new life! Talk about the A.E.s!!!!! Give it a try!

Love the show during lunch breaks!

You mentioned Slovakia for the very first time on the show, which made me happy. Hopefully, the time, when you have a slovak wine on show is coming. Fingers crossed 🙂
QOTD: These days, I’m getting really sick of re-inventing the wheel.

QOTD: Pre-Med Keeners, otherwise known as PMKs. The kids who’ve watched too much ER and will literally KILL to get into Med School.

I tried a Dolcetto. It brung some thunder.

QOTD: The University of Notre Dame

Happy Birthday Sasha!!!

I love the new shirt

Ok so Im a couple of days late. but not too late for free shipping 😉

Happy Birthday Sasha!!!!

(oh and welcome back Gary)

QOTD: Romeo Crenel and the Cleveland Browns generally.

Happy Belated Birthday Sasha!
QOTD: When parents smoke with their kids in the car.

QOTD: George Bush, Global Warming, Mass-Produced Factory Wine

QOTD: Being out of town without an internet connection and missing free shipping….

Gary,
Being on a boat without Dramamine! Oh, you mean emotionally sick? Seeing people yell at their kids.

well, u got kellen clemens and the jets STILL lost. oh well, there’s always next week.

QOTD – working past 10pm for repeated days in a row.

Gary, I just found your TV tasting note on Grimaldi Dolcetto â?? I received a few phone calls looking for this wine, they said they saw it on your show. If you think that his Dolcetto is interesting, you should try his 2003 Conca Barolo. Beautiful!
