    Welcome back!

    QOTD: Never had a vino vaca yet, but will hit the WL this spring when I have some time!

  • CuriousInStLouis

    NNNNNNNoooooooo! Not the sniffy-sniff!! If you retire it, we must celebrate! With free shipping!

    Great intro! When I saw Mott sitting there I was thinking, “Uh-oh”

    QOTD: A wine vacation? I’ll be happy just to get a vacation this year!

    Gary, it is great to have you back…I seriously hope you get some love in the comments today. It’s also great to see the Mott-ster infront of the camera. My planned vacation is two fold…One is Oregon the first week of the New Year (in fact…I’m already back from it) I also hope to get back out there for OPC for the industry. I’d also like to try to get to the fingerlakes or someplace like that…but time will tell. Welcome home

    Good to have you back Gary & Mott! QOTD: None as of yet. Maybe when I’m in Ireland I’ll take a side trip to the Loire Valley.

  • Sara

    Welcome back, Gary!

    QOTD: Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll go on a wine vacation in 2008. 18 months out of college and living in Boston, a wine vacation is neither convenient nor within my price range.

    Question for Gary or anyone else: What are the most overrated and the most overlooked wine vacation spots?

  • luvgrapesqueezings

    QOTD: Well, I’d like to think that a bunch of us can get together near WL for TatumVay’s b-day in April.
    I’ll have to stir-up something in the forums.

    Another nice show Gary ang GRRREAAT to have you back.
    I don’t have a specific wine vacation planned but will work in visiting wineries with several of my other vacations.
    – visiting Northern California wineries while on business in that area
    – Michigan wineries when I ride to the Harley-Davidson reunion in Milwaukee
    – Texas wineries when visiting parents and friends
    Is there anything in Florida worth visiting? got a big trip there in June.

    Welcome back!

    QOTD: Hmm. Chance of a real wine vacation for me in 2008 doesn’t look so good. Maybe I can do a trip to Wine Library and/or Long Island.

    Hey Gary…our wine vacation will probably be out to Napa again. We do Napa and Russian River every year because we enjoy the area, get into the wine, food and mud baths. We’ve done a road trip to the Wine Library over the holidays….was great fun. We missed you! Hope you are there the next time we visit.

    Nice opening. I think Mott could be a substitute host.

    QOTD- no wine vacations planned so far this year. So, I guess I’ll have to hang with GV at WL.

    Missed you, Gary, glad you’re back.

    We MUST find the Morgante Nero D’avola…chocolate covered cherries…yummmmmm.
    We have never tried this grape. Great show. It was fun to see Mott, too. I still want to see the “link it up, Mott” shirt.

    QOTD: Wine vacation. Hmmm…..we don’t usually even take a vacation. Are you going to North Carolina? We might make a vacation out of that.
