Wine plan? Probably head home in the summer and hit all the Okanagan wineries in B.C. like I do every year! 🙂 Would love to drive around Tuscany but with a little one now on the way that ain’t gonna happen…

Gooood QOTD Gary! This year will be rocking! First we want to visit Künstler in the Rheingau Region in spring, then we are planing a Mosel-Cycling-Trip in july and finaly our honeymoon in september with a wine tour through South Africa!

WB GV!! Opening was going great until I heard the words “I don’t like Brett Favre”. I feel bad just typing that! Come on, if anybody, root for the pack. Cuz if you do, you will look good win we win the superbowl! Sorry Mott, your out next week. And the patriots? Well, we made Bledsoe cry in ’97 (’96 season) and we will have Brady crying in ’08! Go Pack!

Welcome Back Gary 🙂

QOTD: Last year My Husband & I and our Little Boston Terrier (Gracie) went to the Finger Lakes for our vacation. We had a ball…. 🙂
This year is still undecided, but I hope we can visit another wine region.

Good to have my WLTV fix for the day again. Welcome back GV! My wife got me a copy of “The Nine” for Christmas, but I haven’t had to opportunity to read it yet, but I’m into the Supreme Court as well. If you are really interested in the Supreme Court, you need to take a trip to Washington, D.C and sit in on oral argument of a case you are interested in. Just check out this site http://www.supremecourtus.gov/ and click on the Oral Arguments link for more information. Just be sure to tape a couple shows before you go.

QOTD: At least 25 trips to the Wine Library. Maybe a trip to Crushpad.

…and number 12, also worn by the 4 TIME Super Bowl winning Mr. Terry Bradshaw of the 5 TIME Super Bowl winning Pittsburgh Steelers!!!!

Planning on going to Lodi Michael David winery or I guess I’ll be up north stoppin in the lib. Hows that NC trip comming????

QotD: Going to upstate New York and Niagara Falls, so I plan on hitting a winery or two on the way up and/or back. Definitely want to hit Konstantin and will do research on others. Might go to Nova Scotia and will hit something up there if we go. Icewine. Mmm.

Changing the wine world, whether they like it, or … Mott?

HE’S BACK!!

QOTD: I have a friend visiting me on the west coast (LA) in a few weeks and I think I’ll plan a Santa Barbara day trip for us, then in September I have a friend coming out here for a week and I’ll plan a bigger, extended Sonoma and Napa trip for that.

Welcome Back!

QOTD: Will be exploring the Northern Michigan Wineries this summer.

Say it ain’t so………..

Retiring Sniffy Sniff!!!!! Please say you are just kidding!!!!

QOTD – nothing planned yet…:(

QOTD: I am trying to plan a visit to the Niagara region to check out some of hte Ice Wine producers. I can’t quite afford a trip out to Napa or anything international right now. And, of course, a trip over to Wine Library – a quick jump up the NJ Turnpike from Philly.

Hey Gary,

Welcome back, you and your energetic ways, good to have you back. Hope all is well – to answer your ? of the day, it’s simple really, me and bf are probably thinking of going to Cuba and cut through the winter season, we’ll see, have a good day 🙂

Great to have you back Gary! Hope you had a great vacation and rested up a bit.

Gary that’s so cool that you mentioned Skeleton today! One of my best friends is a skeleton runner, and is in the running to go to the 2010 olympics as well! I’ll ask him, but I’m pretty sure he knows Caleb. he hasnt updated this site in a while, but this video shows Lake Placid pretty well. http://www.rit.edu/~cen4920/Skeleton/media/movies/WHEC/WHECNews.html

QOTD: my planned wine vacation will be checking out a vineyard or two in Minnesota. My boyfriend’s family lives out there and I’m going out to meet them this summer and have been promised some MN wine… should be interesting. Other than that I’m sure I’ll take a trip to a few fingerlake vineyards to work on some photography and research. I’m also supposedly going to a wedding on Long Island in July, so it’ll be tough to resist checking out a vineyard or two out there.

We MISSED you, GV!

Welcome back.

Welcome back, Gary! We missed you!

Hey, Gary. When you held up that first wine the label said “IGT Calabria,” so it isn’t from Sicily.

I understand that Sicilian producers have been doing some recent exploring/experimenting with their local terroirs, and they are finding some spots that are especially good for Nero d’Avola. I know that at tastings I have tried some lesser known Nero d’Avola’s (among other Sicilian wines) that were just fantastic. I’ll have to see if I can dig out my tasting notes.

QOTD. I don’t know. Hanging out with you at the Wine Library sounds pretty good.

Glad to see you back, Gary. You appear rested and ready to teach us more about wines.

Suggestion for QOTD: What state, or country if overseas, are the Vane-i-acs watching you from?

Greg

Morgante gone.

GV you are genius.

QOTD: I’m going to Traverse City, MI in the spring. They’ve got Rieslings for days up there.

Welcome back GV. I have never had a nero…will seek one out.
QOTD: Hoping to make it out to Willamette Valley, Oregan. I have never been and I am anxious to see Portland and the wine country. Also planning to go back to Montalcino to work in a winery sometime this summer or fall:-)

PS. Never say you are playing with yourself, it is too much information 🙂

QOTD: Going to be spending some time around Paso Robles in the summer and thought about hitting up some wineries there. I don’t think I can talk my wife into a Jersey vacation just to visit the WL. Maybe we’ll swing down next time we’re in NY.
