QOTD: Corks!! I find it completely absurd that some people refuse to acknowledge that screw caps can be a good thing…

@ de Las so do our palette’s match up? have u tried wines I liked/disliked and we agreed?

fun episode Gary, showin’ some love for the 89ers!! 🙂

QOTD: I don’t have a particular line in the sand that I would gripe about but I do think that ratings in general whether it be hotel, restaurant ratings, wine, etc.. have to be taken with a grain of salt. I know for instance that my palate agrees more with Spectator Ratings than Enthusiast ratings because I have tried a lot of wines that they have both rated side by side. It is all subjective, so no more lines in the sand…gets my vote. Actually as I sit here and think about it, the line in the sand between people with PHD’s and those without in the scientific community. ARGHHHH

J DUB

QOTD: The line between no college degree with experience and college degree with no experience. Isn’t experience the best teacher?

Nice long episode, good for the end of day wind-down.

Minchin Le Clos Delorme – and that’s meant to be a Loire red? Sauerkraut, that’s a meal idea for tomorrow 🙂

QOTD – Ridiculous Lines in the sand, what…. in wine or life in general? Wine – nothing really springs to mind apart from most peoples reluctance to experiment, either customer or most retailers. Life – why do people still think a suit and a tie makes a difference in work?

Whoa, that Minchin Le Clos Delorme sounds awesome. I get off on funky wines.

Since I live here in Utah, which is a non wine shipping state, I tried to support the cause and order some T’s, but WL doesn’t even ship those here either.

QOTD: The line in the sand for me is wine prices at restaurants. Typically I know what they pay for wine and when I find a restaurant with re-DONK-que-lus markup on I tend not to return. I understand they need to make a decent margin, but I’m also the sort to drop my hard earned coin on fantastic wines while dining, but still look for the quality/price ratio.

Maybe you should check the HVAC in your office, and see if it’s blowing in exhaust from outside…

Nice show. Great way to point out the need to watch our biases. I’ve bookmarked the 2003 Chateau Saintayme, it sounds like a great wine, even if it is a little “cute.” I’m going to have to be adventurous and try one of those vegetable wines, too!

QOTD: The whole idea of drawing lines in the sand when it comes to wine (and life for that matter) is silly. A lot of times it seems that those who draw the lines are puffed up with the small amount of knowledge the have. I one critic who said he never drinks a wine with a dog on the label. Being a new wine drinker, I thought he might have a good point so I found myself shunning canine bearing vinos. My loss! Thanks for shaking us up with shows like the 89 point wine episode!
It just goes to show that when you pre-judge anything, you end up the biggest loser.

QOTD. gender lines in sports.. specifically the different events for male/female in gymnastics,,, i.e. a boy who’d be great at the balance beam, or the girl who would be great at rings….my gripe…. gender lines…
