    Wow. Gary must feel very secure to hype a competitor on his show. Way to go Gary!

    QOTD: After I read all the posts to this episode, I’m sure I’ll find a lot of cool stuff. For me personally, the last 24 hours has not turned up anything hot on the internet, unless you like inexpensive, good wine:

    Ok so Wine Spies doesn’t ship to either RI or WI!!!! What’s a girl to do. And nice pour, I was like “oh no, hes gonna stop soon…soon…soon. Nope, he filled the entire bottle into his big ass glass!” I need to get me one of those (already got 8 wineglasses, but you know, the big ass glass is just awesome)!

    Brian Williams interviewing Mel Brooks just before the opening of “Young Frankenstein” on Broadway…a must for Brooks fans!

  • Holy crap, you fit the whole darn bottle in that glass?!? That’s my kinda glass. I was able to get a bottle of white wine (Alianca) into a army-style canister I got from an army surplus store near my home. It’s surprising sometime how deceiving bottle shapes are :).

    Kudos to The Wine Spy AND Wine Library for seeing the benefits of cross-promoting competitors. That’s what the web is all about!

  • Coolest site, other than WLTV:

    http://www.american.com/

    That is, if you are interested in political liberty, and consider this cool, as I do.

    gary, my mom recently spilled an entire glass of wine (she wouldn’t tell me what kind) on her laptop. she was advised to turn it off, take out the hard drive and hose it off. yeah, thats right, she was told to take it out to the backyard and hose it down. so she did, she hosed it off, took a hairdryer to it, poured some rubbing alcohol on it and more hair dryer, put it all back together, crossed her fingers and hit the power…it worked! the damn thing worked great…for about two weeks and then took a piss, but it did work for a while, thought it was a good story considering your mishap with your new computer.
    anyways, love the show, big fan, wish i’d found out about you sooner, i want a wrist band, first time commenter, no longer a squater, thanks and keep it up.

    Have not had this wine. http://www.winelx.com

    I don’t mind you ripping off the concept as I find the spy-shtick theme very tedious, cinderella wine is aesthetically more pleasing. Still, though, it’s like you’re slowly turning into the Microsoft of the web wine industry.
