    Zinfadls _ Man I’ve always viewed them as a high school band playing in your mouth. I tried for six months but not my juice. I’m always game for another try.

    Retail sales, I build and sale very pricey bikes. If you can imagine paying $10gran for the latest and greatest in bicycles.

    WAAAAAAY Late posting tonight. Great Episode.

    QOTD: Opera Singer.

    Kellen almost pulled it out. Almost. But hey, the upside is he threw for a buck sixty-five to Cotchery. Without those two picks the J-E-T-S coulda won. Better luck, and I do mean luck, this week. Give it up for Burns HS in Oregon!

  • Tofferotti

    Ha! Great show. I used to dis the zin pretty hard. Had several recommended to me that I hated. Then last week in Newport Beach on my vacation,I had the Montelena Zin and loved it. Perfect with what I have to say was the best steak of my life. Too bad you were sold out by the time I watched the show. I guess I can get some somewhere else

    QOTD: I’m trying to be an opera singer. In the meantime, I wait tables at two places. Gives me a bigger wine list to get familiar with. The markup on wine boggles my mind. Hint to all you out there. Sometimes the corkage fee is a bigger bargain than buying the wine off the list at the restaurant.

    Great episode, my mouth started watering when you mentioned Laffy Taffy, it’s still in gas stations everywhere…

    QOTD: Student studying entrepreneurship. Gonna open an importing company to sell foreign music and movies. WLTV’s one of 10 internet shows I watch, by far my favorite, I’m glad it was mentioned on Diggnation or I might never have found it…
