    QotD: Installing a light in my poker room, turning on a new wine fridge, experimenting with some free and possibly really crappy cooked and oxidized wine, playing some Wii, sending my bro off to more college.

    My playoff predictions are yours exactly Gary… Skins [who’ve won 4 in a row, FYI], Giants [GO GINTS!], Jags and Bolts.

    Looked like you were going to puke on that last drink….. 😆
    QOTD – WHo cares who wins…….football is for those who never realised that basketball is the best sport int he world!! You should be praying for the Knicks to lose, not the Jets….the KNicks need the pick way more, that is unless Isaiah deals it away for another crappy bigman like Curry.
    As for the weekend, family gathering and a tasting with GregO and Tim Walton!

  • Gotta love it! … and we do!
    Thanks for sharing your ideas of what to do with a wine that you don’t like … WORK IT! PLAY WITH IT! KEWL!

    QOTD: Weekend plans? Ahhhhh … It is my (Cliff’s) birthday on Saturday, so Darcey and I will do what comes naturally: drink the best bottle we have and go out for a great sushi dinner!

    Hey GV — an idea: Free shipping on someone’s birthday! I would sure take advantage for a case!

    Nice to finally see another laid-back-Friday … and here’s hopes for many, many more to come.

    Be Well!

    If the Raiders aren’t in the playoffs then I could care less who wins. What am I doing this weekend? Nada. Storm arriving and we should get drenched this weekend in L.A. Maybe a good movie weekend? Went to a restaurant last night in Santa Monica called Rustic Canyon and ordered a glass of wine I haven’t tried before with my overpriced flatiron steak.

    QOTD: i actually am right in line with your 4 picks for the weekend games. this weekend i am flying back to indy after spending a week at home with my parents. gonna go rock climbing with a buddy and then watch the games and and chill with a bottle of wine (match cab) or some beer from the kegerator.

  • Kristen

    So good to see Laid Back Friday again! And Ask Gary Questions! Thanks!

    QOTD: Going up to Maine with my friend from high school (we go way back). We’re going to see a concert- super pumped!

  • Kristen

    Oh yeah- and gonna try the Alamos Torrentes too! I found it!

  • The Couch, The Couch!! But why does it say “Napa Red Zinfandel” under the wine link for “Tasted this episode” ???

    Germany’s been using those glass stoppers for years – quite cool, meant to be good for Fresh wines.

    QOTD – We’ll visit Sarah’s dad in Richmond (Yorkshire) this weekend, we couldn’t catch up with him over the holidays. Other than that, nothing else special planned.

  • G-I-A-N-T-S S S!

    Probably not because Eli is showing his true colors more than ever.. but one can hope!

    We’re drinking a Villa Maffei Amarone… ehh.. so so.. I guess what do you expect for 30 bones.

    DONT FORGET! RALEIGH IN THE HOUSE!!! COME TO NC!! I’ll help you out however I can with transportation, putting you up – whatever!!!

  • LOVED the sliding off the couch and drinking from the bottle. Haha cracked me up.

    QOTD – This weekend, definitely going to try getting back into paintball.. Something I have been wanting to do for awhile now. =)

  • Big Nick

    Nice to see the couch Gary. As for the weekend, I just bought a new fireplace to install, and some cabinets in the kids’computer room so that they can get all their crap off the countertop. Then I am going to clean out my office and do some book work for the business, and put together a plan for hiring a new employee. In between all of my other to do items, I plan on watching some football, and drinking some wine from the cabinet.
