  • QOTD: Lined up for the weekend… well, I will be staying indoors because it is raining cats and dogs – but that’s fine because I was planning on doing some packing tomorrow anyway.
    [SNOOZEFEST! 😉 how boring, huh?]
    Sorry, nothing more exciting. I’m into crunch time with trying to get outta Dodge by the end of the month!

    Great Show!!!
    I have only had one great sauvignon blanc (to my palate) from Cali…the Alpha Omega Sauvignon Blanc from Napa. It had what I was looking for, that clean crispness. But I would definitely agree, you could definitely get better deals from new zealand…

    QOTD: Helping my parents remodel their house.

  • Mike Z

    QOTD: I’ll be rooting for the hometown Chargers and I pick them, Steelers (though it pains me), Skins, and Giants. Seattle just doesn’t excite me.
    This weekend will also be spent working in the garden a bit, and hopefully walking on the beach.

    BTW, one other thing to do with wine you don’t like much is to cook with it.
    Enjoy your vacation, GV. What’s Mott going to do? Or is he going with?

  • Gary, you want a good domestic Sauv Blanc…Try Stevens Winery out of Woodinville Washington. It’s my go to white when having shellfish or pasta with an olive oil based sauce.

    QOTD – Seahawks are going to eeek it out. Watch the weather in that game, we have a big storm coming in off the coast.

    QOTD (other) – Had a Zin tonight, going for beers tomorrow for the game and then a riesling with dinner. Not sure what we will open on Sunday.

    Don’t sell your ridiculous antics short, it is a huge part of why I love this show. Otherwise, I would just go watch some stuffy-old guy talk about wine on some other show.

    Also, I use the double words a lot as well, glad to see I am not the only one.

    QOTD: Jags, Titans, Seahawks, and Giants

    Laid back Friday is fantastic, and you don’t know just how much you miss it until it comes roaring back!!!!

    I love the comment that you made about the “not so good” wines that you try from time to time. I have to admit…many times, I will have a glass or 2, and then pour it down the drain. I will have to start revisiting the wine again the next day, or a few hours later. Thanks for the tip!

    QOTD: I am going shopping for a few things with the wife tomorrow.

    QOTD: SEAHAWS (sorry- can’t just go by heart), JAGUARS…unless it snows A LOT, GIANTS (this pick if for my friend Dave S., and it’s possible if injuries from the Pats game don’t play a crucial factor), and the CHARGERS.
