    First off foot brakes are for sissy’s! So your big trick was bunnyhopping the curb! BMX’s don’t have footbrakes!!! I had a Mongoose with ACS(?) hybrid rims and some other funky colored aluminum seat posts!

    Oh yeah Gary….I fear the Knicks….put a convicted felon in Isiah Thomas, the worst owner in the NBA, a convict ZR (I know there are so many on that team), a big oaf with a heart murmur but no heart for the game, and a couple other garbaged up has beens (marbury…that’s right) and you have a scary ball team, just not on the court. the only real player that team has is David Lee… Please Gary, can we bet on this season….all I want is 1% of Wine Library, or even better, for you to put on the blackboard “RAPTORS RULE!!!! KNICKS SUCK!!!” Damn, you got me going with that one. 🙂
    QOTD – My wife totally got me when she surprised me with a dinner out at my favorit restaurant….that was the last treat as well.

  • According to my cellartracker account, this show hasn’t cost me zero dollars… it’s cost me a few thousand in wine purchases from you alone from wines I wouldn’t have known about had you not reviewed them! But I’m okay with that… and I sent you the damn wristband picture anyway. 🙂

    That’s funny that you drank the Owen Roe today, but you had the wrong one! Yesterday I was at the Lenné vineyard in Oregon (say it with me Gary…) where I tasted the 2006 Owen Roe “The Kilmore” Pinot Noir, which has 50% of it’s grapes from Lenné (the rest from other Carlton/Yamhill AVA vineyards). We went to 6 vineyards yesterday and tasted about 50 wines, and this was definitely one of the top two we had. I see you guys carry this wine, so I was going to suggest it for you to try! Very powerful, with layer upon layer of fruit. It is obviously very young (probably bottled a few weeks/months ago), but it’s drinking amazingly well right now considering. I picked up a bottle, and may be back for a case. You should drink it on the show and let us know what you think!

    Like the energy Gary. Good show today and I love the honsty with Pure Evil Chard. Just tell us how it is. 7 Deadly Zins I’ve had once and probably never again.

    QOTD: TRICK would be getting a wine from my older brother that was wrapped and in a gift bag, but when i opened it the wine was a terrible bosenberry flavored wine from his friend who works at a company called GOT JUNK. TREAT would be my 30th birthday my girlfriend surprised me with a chartered flight to Napa.

  • For legal reasons, I can’t discuss my last trick or treat. 🙂 Cool cellartracker subscription linkup. Just noticed it today. And as for the EVIL wine, yeah, that one seemed like a marketing gimmick. When you see that one on sale at AM/PM MiniMart, you get the sense there are issues.

    Halloween, hate the bloody night, bah, humbug (oh sorry, that’s Christmas!)

    QOTD – last trick, a bloody con artist on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice who sweet talked his way out of 10 Euros for a cheap 2 Euro ring, and I knew it was a con but still fell for it 😳
    – last treat, that’s a toughy….oh yeah, helped out a customer a couple of months back, nothing special, just not something that I needed to do. Next day she came to the office (she’s local, not many of those in my job) and gave me a bottle of wine 🙂 (and I didn’t even tell her I liked the stuff!!).

    Sinister Hand is always a good choice, but never younger than 2 years. It evolves in a textbook fashion. The tale of said hand is from the green isle long ago, there was a land grab for an island, where the winner in a row boat could claim the island. Forget the name of the gentleman, but when he realized he would not arrive first, severed his hand and threw it on the island for first touch………….

  • I won’t be giving wristbands to the kids coming to the door Wednesday. Wonder if offering them a sample of a good Super Tuscan would do? Glad you are tasting some of the wines so I don’t have to bother though I tasted 7 Deadly Zins and Evil at the Santa Fe tasting. Bad stuff both of them.

    Great theme for today’s episode. That was fun!

    QOTD: The last thing that tricked me was my team having the # 1 draft pick (I thought it would change the team.) The last thing that treated me was fall, the colors on the trees are so beautiful!

    Great Halloween show, I’ve looked at a few of those wines before, which is always fun.

    QTOD: Last time I was tricked…yesterday…tricked into believing the Skins could make my dreams come true and beat the Pats. Though I’ll take a win over the Cowboys before the pats win…so hopefully I won’t be tricked twice…Trick me once…shame on you…trick me twice…you’re a skins fan.

    Last Treat: my GF bought me Guitar Hero 3 (well pre-ordered) I plan to bring the fake nerdy rock to my living room very soon!
