  • I still haven’t gotten into Pinot noir yet, maybe the Lilly will be a good introduction.

    Sniffy-sniff is almost signature, but don’t make such a big thing of it. Use it when you feel like it!

    QOTD: I began watching around December 2006.

    Patz & Hall, gotta love a classic.

    QOTD: Early 80’s and going strong. It’s really gotten tough to watch any other vids on vino, everytime I see James Suckling I wanna tell him off. Cheers to that G-Man!!

    QOTD: I can’t believe that it was only last May or June that I found you but I looked it up. Maybe it seems longer because I watched all of the back shows. My God, I feel like a ‘Johnny come lately’.

  • !@#$$%% 3/29! Dagnabit! I now have to decline the festivities. That my friend is the wife’s birthday and I can see myself now saying, darling, for your birthday we’re going to WLTV! Ummmm, not.

    Well, I’m back in the doldrums but at least this Nero d’Avolo I’m having is trying to lift my spirits.

    QOTD: I believe it was episode #69 though at the time I was a “hit or miss lurker” though now I’m hardcore.

    Have fun on the 29th 🙁

    P.S. Easter!!! Weak reason and since the wife is Jewish, well, you get the point.

  • QOTD: I’ve been on board since around episode #157

    We started watching in October ’07. I watched three hours worth of downloaded shows in one sitting and I was hooked! My 15 year old son introduced me to the show. BTW, what kind of birds were singing loudly in the background of today’s show?

  • I must second Toby, “!:PLEASE – more champagne episodes.” !! Have you ever done a video with Cristal?? I keep hearing about it in the news and have never spent the money for it but I am interested in what you think.

    Answer to the question of the day: Any time around 6pm-12am (whenever I get a break from the baby).
