  • Wristbands: You should give them to people who come up with good ideas for you. Nice idea, right? Wristband please, right here. In all seriousness, I don’t know if I deserve one, but I’ll wear it during gigs. Its a hard rock band. Full disclosure, haven’t done too many gigs lately, but they’re coming soon.

    Saw you are sick again today. Take it easy. When you’re back, if you get a chance, do the Green Groves Cab. We picked up some this weekend, at the library. Interested to hear your thoughts.

    QOTD: Responses to some consulting proposals. Come on, baby, no whammys.

    Hey Gary,

    Glad you’re coming back healthy. You have the right idea on what’s important in life…and that, along with your wine knowledge and humor, is why I continue to make WLTV part of my day.

    Keep up the great work and PROPS to Bobby for hitting the 40’s! My wife and I are 41 and had our second daughter, Isabella Grace. Life just keeps getting better if you just have the BPP!

    Have a great weekend,

    Guy (GlaM)

    About the wristbands, being a newish Vayniac I was not in the running for the wristbands but since you have so many people and so few wristbands; Randomize it! I dont know how but just randomly pick 600 or however many lucky Vayniacs. (I also think you should save one for the person that suggested the best way to help you determine how to dole them out;))

    QOTD: I’m waiting for the skins to upset the pats this weekend. It COULD happen….yeah…maybe.

    Love the show Gary, just started watching and am loving it. Found out through diggnation and yes I know about the mice wine. You have got to get that on the show and give it a taste. They called you out and now you’ve got to prove yourself. You are always saying you like to widen your pallet, and I can’t think of a better way to do that.

    Keep it up.

    I understand the “over-hyped” nature of certain cult wines, but how can you do a taste comparison on “Big Wines” with 2 Napas vs an Alexander Valley. Most often than not, AV wines are more feminine than the masculine Napas cabs, and to taste an AV cab after tasting 2 napa cabs probably diminishes the impact of that wine. Why didn’t you include the Silver Oak Napa instaed of the AV? That would have been a more fair blind tasting assement.
