I've been rooting through the old episodes recently, and I'm glad I found this – now I can run to Costco and pick up some of the Kirkland label. It'll make a change to actually get the wines you taste here in Korea.

QOTD – lots of stuff on gender for a research paper and Logicomix for fun. It's a graphic novel about Bertrand Russell.

    What’s the old radio line, “Long time listener, first time caller.”? Alright not that long, but it is the first post. Love the show Gary.

    Very fair of you Gary, not that Costco is exactly competition for you (Wine Library isn’t getting ready to branch out into car batteries and diapers, eh?). I don’t live anywhere near a Costco and have never heard of the label. The stuff one can learn watching WLTV! Reading A History of the English Speaking Peoples Since 1900 by Andrew Roberts.

    QOTD: On the Road
    But not just because the movie came out, its one I have been meaning to read for a while… Especially since I live in SF.

    I would have never tried the Costco wines, so I am glad you did!

    QOTD –
    I’m reading Poe. His short story The Cask of Amontillado. It’s a great story about some amber wine SIMILAR IN COLOR TO TAWNY PORT – and a guy who gets revenge on a wine expert who slighted him by burying him alive in a wine storage cave…. Ever read it??

    Embrace the amber. Fear the Poe. 🙂 Nevermore!
