Former lurker making first post!

Ordered the Thanksgiving Pack and two bottles of the Frank Family Zin.

Windsor

QOTD: Favorite tie knot? What knot? It’s already pre-done when you clip it on!

Wonder if I’ll get my Frank Zin before it sells out.

QOTD: Either a thick Four in Hand or a Full Windsor. Love me some thick knots.

Cool, I’ll look for Frank family Zin. I saw the WLTV billboard coming back from Newark Airport on 78, very very cool!

love the idea of a mystery pack too bad i am in PA I would love to order

QOTD: Full windsor

i didn’t even get all the way through the first two minutes!
elliot you are out of control!!! GV thanks for giving a shout out to BDV.
elliot and i can’t stop talking about you in the tasting room.
loved your post on Barbera’s. it was awesomo-ten-thousand. 😉
look elliot. . .no longer a lurker!!!

QOTD – definetly bowtie 😆

Frank Family not to be confused with Grace Family. What about some love for Elyse?? Show Ray some love G-Man.

QOTD: puffed single windsor when I have to succumb to the shackles of the tie.

LoL…. That was awesome. You definitely “made it happen”! Oh, and I’m stoked on the Thanksgiving Mystery Box… That’s gonna be a blast.

– Elliot (The original CKC Representative) *Episode 225

QOTD: Half windsor.

By the way, for the word following ‘secondary’, instead of ‘third tier’ you could use ‘tertiary’. Sorry, pet peeve of mine – Captain English will go back to sleep now.

QOTD: Slip knot, I guess- the only one I can remember right now. Today was my birthday- one of the nicest I’ve had in a long time. 😉 Early happy anniversary to you and Liz! November is the greatest month.

A “Four in Hand” of course!! And a Jerry Garcia Tie !!

QoTD: Given my name, I feel absolutely obliged to answer the tie question. I really don’t know if I have a favourite, or, for that matter, if most of the ways I tie a tie have names! Among the named versions I fancy are, in this order, the Plattsburgh, the Windsor (a.k.a., double / full Windsor), and the Shelby (a.k.a. Pratt). If you’re interested in … well, unusual knots, have a look at T.Fink & Y.Mao’s book “The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie”. -or- Have a look at their Nature article “Designing Tie Knots by Random Walks” (Nature 398, 31-32 (4 March 1999)).

C’mon where’s the Michigan wines?? Anyway, good episode, seeing this is making me wonder if Robert Parker was wrong in labling 2005 CA Zin as being average off wines (rated 78I). The few Zins that I’ve had in this vintage were excellent and your favorite today was an 2005 also. How much stock do you take in a critic rating a vintage?

QotD: I only learned how to tie the traditional Windsor knot, so it wins my vote by forfeit. LOL

Frank Famo is sold out. Please get some more in before Turkey Day. QOTD: Four days a week I roll with the full windsor.

QOTD: Single Windsor

Gary, loved the episode! Ordered the 4-pak. QOD: Whatever knot James Bond uses. Is there such a thing as the ‘James Bond Knot’? :}

QOTD: Half Windsor.

Hopefully the Frank Family is included in the 4-pack I just ordered! 🙂

Since the Frank is sold out, I guess I’ll have to open my good ole standbys; Turley and Haywood.

Cheers

QOTD: Half Windsor.

can’t wait to try the Frank Family ZIN!!!!!!!!

i dunno what tie knots are called

this one kinda goes around, up, over, around, up, and through

i can tie it in less than 7.5 seconds

QOTD: The Half-Windsor knot

If not the Frank Family Zin, is today’s free shipping selection (Onthedge luvisi zinfandel ’03
) just as good?

QOTD: I went on a Pratt kick for a while, but now I’m back to the Windsor.

We joined you with the Zinfandel tonight and had the Peachy Canyon Westside 2002. Very nice, extremely balanced in all ways. It has a great mouthfeel that’s just right, “not too hot, not too cold.”

The Thanksgiving pack makes me happy and sad. I’m super pumped to be buying unknown GV-picked wine for a special occasion but I was also excited to be picking out some wines from my “cellar” this year. I guess we’ll see what I’ve got when the box arrives. Can’t wait for the contest announcement.

I’m really interested in that last wine, think anyone has it for cheaper? =)

QOTD: My favorite tie knot is the only one I know how to do. I don’t know what its called! I taught myself how to do it when my daughter was working at Olive Garden and needed to wear a tie to work! I don’t wear ties so.. Meh!

BTW: I nearly ordered two bottles of the 2005 Felline Primitivo Di Manduria for Thanksgiving (Because I LOVED it), but I watched today’s episode first – good thing! I hope the wines in the pack stack up! I’m bringing the wine to Thanksgiving – I want to make a good impression on the family!

Gary – you never answer my wine questions on twitter or on your Facebook app.. What gives?
