    I think the Owen Roe just may need time. I’ve been really impressed with some of his stuff.

    QOTD: Trick: can’t say business related, besides who knows who else is reading the comments.
    Treat: Davis Family Pinot, delish

    I think I’d rather eat candy than drink those wines.
    QOTD: Tricked into settling my dept with a bogus company, treat; I got most of my money back from the bogus company through the Better Business Bureau.

    Hi Gary, I’ve been watching for about 4 months now, just wanted to drop a note saying keep up the good work! Too bad the wines today were pretty much a bust, but that happens. BTW I also just saw your CdP episode, would recommend Vieux Donjon (my best pick for aromatic and layered) — about $65 not cheap but worth the price

    Gary,

    QOTD:

    Best Trick: I’ve always wanted someone to name their dog/kid after me so my friend had a huge Newfounland and they shaved the dog (fur was getting to hot for the dog, it was summer) and told me they got a new dog and named it Dan, after me. It turns out the joke was on me, it was their dog Ursa…shaved. It was well played, what can I say.

    Best Treat: The Red Sox winning the world series!!!!!!

  • Great show and enthusiasm, wished the wines had lived up to the hype. I should be getting some Sinister Hand soon and the story behind the label is pretty cool. I see a Vayniac has already spilled the beans.

    Trick: Going undefeated so far this year.

    Treat: Remaining undefeated by beating the cheatin’ Patsies next week!!!

    Go Colts!

    Cheers

    Fun Ep, GV! QOTD: Tricked: my computer @ work told me it was an hour earlier than it really was (a week early on the time change), so I worked an hour late tonight, utterly confused why the hallway was so quiet. Treated: A friend bought me dinner tonight.

  • Craig MacDonald

    The last thing that tricked me? If we’re talking tricked in the classic trick-or-treat sense it was probably the person who didn’t pay me for the work I did at their place.
    My last treat is an easy one! I took advantage of the free shipping for forum members over the weekend and placed my FIRST EVER order from Wine Library! Ordered six bottles of stuff Mr. GV has reviewed over the last several months and pegged as exceptional QPV. So I’m all excited about Friday when the shipment is supposed to arrive!

  • Pastafari Pirate

    grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat episode, Gary!! Very entertaining. You want to followup on that Halloween theme? There’s a Vampire line of cheap wines, originally from Romania but now grown in Cali, that is ok for the price ($7-$9), and of course Bogle’s Phantom (which I just ordered from you today – thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou).

    QOTD: last thing that tricked me? some underwear I bought about 2 weeks ago, that must’ve been sized for children (but labeled for adults), because it was WAYYYYYYYYYY too tight. The last thing that treated me? welllllllll….. that would be that hot sassy red-headed schoolmarm. Mmmmm, mmmm, mmmmmm. What a treat. And I do mean, WHAT A TREAT. Yesindeedy.

  • QOTD: The last time I was tricked was when my boyfriend proposed to me in front of our whole family. It was a total surprise and I am definitely not one who is easily shocked. I guess that makes him my fiance, but its just too weird to write that just yet.

    The last time I was treated was a friend brought me back a nice collection of seashells from his hometown in Florida. I like simple things 🙂

    Great show today!

    QOTD: Last time I was tricked….I bid on four bottles of 1995 Dominique Laurent Nuits St. Georges at http://www.winebid.com which were all supposed to be of excellent General condition…and all four bottles were cooked. Not a happy camper.
    My last treat was getting to taste the following bottles 1966 Grams Port, 1970 Mouton, 1975 Mouton, 1975 Lafite and a few bad bottles of muscadet from the 80’s. Talk about an awsome line up….what an experience.
