    Does anyone else think of Zin’s as a sledgehammer. In the hands of an amatuer, they’re generally uncoordiated destruction. In the hands of someone who knows how to use them, they’re a concentrated force that blows you out of your seat.

    BTW: no longer a lerker

    I am a lowly government employee that just loves wine. Like art I might not understant it all, but I know what I like. I have tasted several of the wines from the various shows and agree with most…but I also like to sample the huge spectrum still waiting for me out there.

    Great show Gary. Love the Zins, probably don’t drink them often enough. Although we had a SinZin last night and I was underwhelmed. QOTD: Consult with pharma and biotech for the naming of their drugs (e.g., Lunesta).

    What do I do? A lot-I work a lot. Most of all I live for my two young girls (and their mom).
    So wine is still in the top 5

    Finance guy!
    Some would say that it is a boring profession!
    But your job and your life are what YOU make of it!

    If life deals you grapes, then make some thuderous wine!

  • QOTD: Barista/Social Work

    I’m in between right now. At a fantastic little family-owned place. I love it. Since being barista, my palate for wine has widened quite significantly. At the shop, i’ve done some cupping and tasting of coffee, and I find that the profiles can be the same.

    Bigtime lurker. Old world all the way…however, love the Montelena…but won’t be throwing down the 40 bones for the Ravenswood, though. Play in a rock band in Seattle. Go Raiders! Two wins already!

    He, I actually don’t like Zin that much, but it was a great episode nevertheless. Ravenswood sounds good though. QOTD: I am an IT Project manager at a Telco and spend much of my spare time with my Mac User Group.

    Ha ha Gary, you somehow seem to throw in a Jets reference in nearly every episode. You truly are a real Jets fan. QOTD: Prep cook. Im in early making sauces, dressings, preping seafood and checking in deliveries to help set up the night crew. You cant pass up getting off at 3pm and not having to work nights when you work in a kitchen!
