    QOTD – my free shipment order from WL and to go off call so I can drink some albarino.

    A) DO NOT DRINK MOUSEY-MOUSE WINE!!!!
    B) Give me a pair of wrist band. Forget those other folks. No really,me. Okay, here’s the deal. As much as I want a pair o’ wrist bands, you gotta go in order of your mailbox. You could do some silly contest, but really go in order, that is life. I was next in line to see SNL when Sinead ripped up the picture of the pope, I saw it on tv, my pal and his girl saw it live. That’s life man!!

    C) QOTD: I am waiting to make my debut at the MET!! Maybe someday…

    Dude, take care of yourself, if you are sick…rest..see your doctor..drink giner tea!!

    Gary, you should definitely give the wristbands to your loyal Canuck fans…hook us up!! I am waiting for my Meritage to get over bottle shock, ouch! I kinda feel bummed that you were so down on the wines. You were stoked about the Ramey, but when it came to pricepoint you seemed to disown it…why mate, we don’t mind shelling out a few bucks once in a while for a good 90+pointer!!!

    QOTD: Waiting for my 21st.

    Here in IA the law states “Liquor, wine, or beer may be given or dispensed to a person under legal age within a private home and with the knowledge, presence, and consent of the parent or guardian for beverage or medicinal purposes.” so I’m waiting to be able to buy and taste what I want when and where I want to.

    QOTD: Now that I’m in LA, I’m waiting for someone to hire me to play a 15-year-old on some Disney show because that’s realistically within my acting range, even though I’m 22. It’ll be a long, uphill struggle in this town, but I’m ready for the challenge.

    Good on you Gary. 1 day downtime is not bad for a man that is single-handedly starting a wine revolution. The revolution is catching Gary. Yesterday at a wine tasting a wine I pointed out the bug spray aspect of Aussie Red; they were not so happy. It is not going to discourage me though.

    Brave move with the blind cult tasting. Opus is 0-2 these days?

    I’m waiting for more ’05 Bordeaux to make grad school life better.
