OMG! Just had the 04 Delas Herimtage Bessard last night, I have to say that it’s the most balanced and well made wine I’ve ever tasted. The balance is crazy and combined with a ton of subtle lovely nuances it makes it almost worth the price tag ($110 is still quite above my normal range).

  • Great Show!

    QOTD: Pats

  • BW

    QOTD – I think the commercials will be more interesting than the game as the Pats have a cake walk.

    I vote for a butter bandit t-shirt ; I think you have at least one possible design emailed to you a few months back

  • Great Show!

    Awesome show! Radool dude! Love it when you go back to a wine you have already tasted to compare.

    QOTD: Gooo Giants squash the Patriots! Prediction NE 44-NY 13 hope I am wrong.

  • Evan

    Pats will win big. This year feels a lot like the Niners against the Chargers in ’95. Chargers were a great team, but by halftime the Niners had their boots firmly planted on the Chargers’ necks, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

    GV, You really pumped me on the Hermitage tonight. Someday when I get to the point that I can justify $100+ wine on my military retirement, I want to try this. Especially as Syrah is my purple grape of choice and as I mentioned yesterday, Viognier is one of my favorite white wines.

    Mott, Great job on the T-shirt.

    Patriots by a blowout 41-17

    Long time lurker (since episode 11! o.O)
    QOTD: it doesn’t matter who wins this superbowl is already a loss for us jets fans =(

  • KC

    Well I won’t be so bold as to guarantee victory like Plaxico, but I think the Giants have a good chance. Hopefully they will bring the game that they have been playing for the last five weeks.
    Whatever the outcome, the young guys on the Giants are going to walk away with some great experience from the game and they are going to use it to bring the thunder next season!

    Great show today GV, it was great to see you riled up 2 days in a row! And don’t worry, I didn’t forget about the Butter Bandit! He didn’t melt here in Madison, he’s just frozen! And nice announcement Mott, loved the reverb!

    And thanks for the rant on over extracted, Oak Monstered fruit bombs. “Grape don’t act like that”- hear hear! And I loved the quote, ” If I wanted to buy some creme de cassis, it’s like 9 bucks downstairs…I’m dissing for a purpose!”

    QOTD: I’m always a New Englander at heart, so I’m going with the Pats, but I think it’ll be a tight game. Why do my home teams always go to finals when I’m away from home?

    And speaking of being a New Englander, did you say yesterday that pouring all that wine into your glass was “wicked fun?”

    QOTD: I say Pats by 14. There’s something about the patriots that I absolutely HATE! but I gotta give them credit, 18-0 is not bad at all.

    Gary,
    Saw the piece on channel 7 last night – had no idea this daily existed before – going to make it a habit to watch – GREAT show, loved it, going to try the first “fruit bomb” – Also loved the Earnie Shavers reference.
    Keep up the great job, sorry about the season the Jets had and hope to get a chance against them in next years post season.

    QOTD: Patriots jump to an early lead, but the boot and the lingering shoulder injury get the best of Brady. Pats eek it out 34-31.

    If you want delicious try the 2005 Razors Edge

  • Moselman

    Maybe I’m late in noticing this, but it was sure enjoyable to watch an episode without the annoying comment tags bubbling up to disrupt the flow!

    QOTD: How about a prediction for ’09 (as a Canuck, don’t keep track of the XXX sequence)?

    Anyway, Bills 22, Chargers 15. First half played in Toronto, half time, Q3, Q4 and OT in NY state.

    Great Show!!!!!! Really enjoyed the enthusiasm and learned about Hermitage.

    I have no idea what the score will be and really don’t care but will predict 42 -3 Pats

    Oh, by the way, 1973 called they want their shirt back. Could you open that up some more? Maybe where some gold chains? Very Hot!
