    Gotta like zinfandel. When done right, it brings a lot of flavor – fruit and spice, black pepper and black berries.

    oh yeah, I forgot – wooo hooo – top 300! I am on a roll.

    QOTD: what do I do? I lurk. I’m a lurker.

    Love zins, might try the Ravenswood if I can get my hands on it.
    QOTD: I work in the intelligence field. If I told you anymore I would have to kill you…then we wouldn’t have WLTV. I play all sports and have recently taken up surfing, bodysurfing, and I am trying to get into free diving. Come out to Hawaii sometime and we’ll ride some waves.

  • I’ve had that Ravenswood zin. With steak, even. It was mighty tasty. This episode reminds me to look for a bottle of my own to put away for later.

    QOTD: Well, I…

    – work for a large internet services company
    – attend lots of meetings
    – manage, write, and edit content for people
    – live in Chicago
    – write fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry in my spare time
    – do web design & digital art on the side
    – play piano
    – play poker, spades, gin, hearts—eh, lots of card games
    – travel when I can
    – carry a 12″ Apple PowerBook as a travel companion
    – drink too much coffee
    – take random photos
    – sketch & doodle a lot
    – watch Adult Swim & post on their message boards*
    – post on a few other forums
    – attend symphony concerts
    – attend other concerts
    – do random things on a whim
    – cook pretty well
    – consider going to grad school, though it’s been 10+ years since I got my bachelors
    – combat insomnia
    – ride roller coasters (all hail Cedar Point!)
    – collect music boxes
    – read, though not nearly as much as I used to
    – prefer short stories, though a good novel will keep my attention
    – study the mythologies of many different cultures
    – need that 160 GB iPod (my 30 GB holds less than half of my growing digital music collection)
    – help tourists around here when I can
    – do a lot of online research
    – like to learn new things
    – still refuse to eat liver

    Yeah, so that’s probably enough for now.

    *If there are other ASMB folk around here who don’t know me: send me a message via cork’d and I’ll tell you who I am over there.

    Great episode, Love Zins. Next time you should do Turley, Ridge, and Rosenblum.
    You must of recorded this episode on Friday because there was no mourning for your JETS!
    QOTD: I’m a Pharmacist and I work with radioactive drugs that a used in Nuclear Medicine.
    My wife is also a Pharmacist and we live in Seattle. We have 1 girl (12) and 2 boys (8 & 10).
    The boys played the part of Gary and his brother Chuck Vaynerchuk in the “WLTV The Lost Episode” parody video that can be seen by looking at the links on Episode 226.
