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.

    QOTD: Just finished “How Starbuck’s Saved My Life” A little sappy, but nice, quick read.

    Sipping: Whole Foods 05 Trackers Crossing Shiraz. Not bad, $6.29

    Interesting show. Alas, no Costco around here, so I won’t be able to try these wines, but it’s fun to hear about them.

    QOTD: Reading a book on VB scripting.

  • QOTD: I am currently reading The Gravedigger’s Daughter by Joyce Carol Oates (she is a fellow NJ state resident)

  • QOTD: “The world without us”

    Hey Gary, I’ve just recently been getting into wines. Thanks to the show, I’m really starting to expand my horizons and do things like… smell the wine, and let it sit open for a couple hours before I have a glass.

    Great show!

  • I’m reading (well actually listening to him read it aloud) Cory Doctorow’s Eastern Standard Tribe, for like the 5th time. I love this book, you can find it at craphound.com/est

  • QOTD: Just finished The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison and Insatiable by Gael Greene.
    I guess I can go back and finish the Inheritance of Loss now. I get all caught up in other stuff.

    I don’t think there’s a Costco in Madison. Maybe I should check? Hmm.

  • Among other things, I’m reading Jancis Robinson’s “How to Taste” and Alpana Singh’s “Alpana Pours.” Women. Wine. Delicious.

  • Robert Howells

    I am reading “The Lemon Table” by Julian Barnes. It is a series of short stories about getting old and is really well written and hilarious. Julian Barnes is a wine collector and has some of the rarest wines in the world.
