    I was thinking Mott was going to gloat………..

    QOTD: My wife and I are going to Napa on President’s Day weekend. We were in Sonoma last summer and like to alternate between the two – good food, good wine and some time away from the every day routine.

    Welcome back.

  • Great to see you back Gary; I hope you enjoyed your holiday and had a lovely break with your family.

    QOTD: Just had one – a week in Tuscany, but will definately swing past a few vineyards when I’m back in Australia and may even try to make it to one in Japan.

    Good to have you back, Gary!

    QOD – Hoping to combine my two passions of wine and triathlon by racing in the up-and-coming Washington AVA of Lake Chelan. Talk about a nice recovery drink after the race!

    Late April: Landing in SFO, hoping to connect with BrandonM for an offline, then stopping at Pelican Ranch to meet with KenP (or see both simultaneously). From there south to Paso Robles where we hope to arrange a couple of private tastings, maybe stop at a few tasting rooms. With luck we’ll meet my daughter and her SO.

    Gary,

    Pity, the Morgante used to be available locally, but now it isn’t. I think the only Nero available out here in the stix is the Feudo Arancio. I tried it once and it didn’t get my attention, but then I was a little busy.

    When I vacation I like to drive, so I don’t know if I want to mix that with wine so much.

  • Happy Monday – glad to see you up to your usual antics – slopping wine all over the place (I know…I know it’s for the homies) – and generally having a good time.

    QOTD: No wine trips planned for the year. . . although all of us at AmericanWinery are planning a trip to Sacramento (we are driving, so maybe a pit stop or two) for the Unified Wine and Grape Symposium at the end of this month. I’m sure we’ll be tasting (drinking?) wine while there. Is that a show that you would ever attend?? We’ve never been so just curious what it’s like. . . .

    Good to have you back, Gary. Hope you’re vacation was at least somewhat restful, even with all the Vanyiacs begging for your return.

    QOTD: Okanagan Valley, BC. for sure. We go there every year, as it’s only a few hours from my home in Vancouver and absolutely beautiful. Be nice to make it to Walla Walla as well.

  • Aleksandr

    QOTD: I am flying my best friend from Florida sometime later this and we are going to do a Napa Valley trip. Its pretty much in my backyard. We both turn 21 this year so its time to break out of our cacoons and turn into vayniac butterflies…

    Go Pats!

  • Well, as always, you have lifted me up out of my doldrums. Glad you are back. I have been mourning for 24 hours so it’s time to move on.

    QOTD: I’ve always wanted to go to Strasbourg and take the Alsatian wine trip. On top of that, I plan on stopping into your abode unannounced and having a “sniffy sniff” of Dom with you.

    Cheers!
    Dom

    P.S. My ONLY incorrect prediction through the entire playoffs so far was, of course, the Colts! 🙁

    Nice of you to give Mott the chance to enjoy the Giants’ glimmer. You’re looking greatly refreshed from the break.

    QOTD Will definitely look around Walla Walla (already Google-Earthed the wineries) on our way down to visit my kid brother snowbirding in Phoenix, probably in March. He’ll be looking for us to bring down some Okanagan juice, too.
