I've had that Cahors before and I'm near positive you've had it on the show before Gary, I like it.

    Can’t believe nearly 100 posts and no nod to CALVIN!!

    Want to second Michelle’s promotion of the Okanagan.
    Gary, you could go to T.O. and see another basketball game, or you could come to the Okanagan and get in on the awesome beach volleyball!! And visit some awesome winery sites and sights.

    Great to get another shout out for the Canadian crew! And I think Dave (Canada) specifically has had more shout outs than almost anyone. He is the BrandonM of the Great White North.

  • QOTD: going old school on this one: Bernard from the Rescuers (the original one from 1977).

    And got to vote for the ‘Vayner-trip’ to Vancouver. Not only cuz I live here, but the Columbia (River) Valley starts in BC. So if you’re digging the Washington State Wines, wouldn’t it be interesting to see how different the wines are from just north of the border? Just throwing it out there…

    Gary, I have to say that the best part of watching this show is the Vayner-isms. Today it was: “taking the steam out of my sail”. I think you should start keeping track. There are plenty of them I am sure. Another favorite: “We did the did”.

    QOTD: To tough to call, probably Tom from Tom & Jerry.

    QOTD: If you know this then you’re old school: Aphrodite A from Tranzor-Z. C’mon how can you even think to go up against Mammary Missiles? Oh, and GARY! Thanks for doing the sake episode only about 250 episodes after you said you’d do it. Yo, aren’t you supposed to be coming to Japan sometime soon…?!

    I’ve had Cahors quite a bit, it does take a while to mellow out but when it does, man is it good. Also with the color, it’s widely known in France as “black wine” because of how dark it is, you always get some great color out of it.

    QOTD: JEEZ that’s tough…Either SpongeBob or Skeletor

    What WAS that wine you had????
