My dad got the love after the thunder show! And right now my favorite white wine is a 2006 Sauvignon Blanc by Preston Premium Wines out of Washington – but Ash Hollow’s tasting room in Walla Walla is right next to Preston’s, and I bought that Gewurtz a while back and fell in love! You stole my favorite, GV!

DUDE you rocking an original TECMO BOWL
Talking about some flashbacks. That has to be like the all time greatest old school football game.

DOTD: My wife, kids.

QOTD: Sebeka Chardonnay from South Africa. Widely available and relatively inexpensive. It is an excellent wine for my PAL.

Also, the NES cartridge brought back memories of some historic 9 on 9 Tecmo Bowl football action, thanks. They just released it on the virtual console on the Wii and I am in Tecmo heaven!! Too bad there is no Jets though.

QOTD: I’m a huge fan of Viognier and also Albarino right now. And still exploring Sauv Blanc and Semillon blends.

Glad to see you propping out WA again. Ash Hollow makes pretty great wines! Can’t wait till Taste Washington in April! Will get to see a lot of other great offerings there.

My DP Chris is the best, and though he used to be the type to not want to say those three little words, he’s catching on. I tell him all the time.

QOTD: Not to jump on the ABC band wagon but we had a wonderful Reisling with dinner last week. Viognier, White CdP & Sauvignon Blanc are favorites too.

DOD: It’s My Birthday today! I’ll be sharing good times and wine with the family and I have to agree, it’s all about family.

Hugged the roommate and his gf, called the moms and pops, and working on the 5th.
QOTD Really loving the black pig albarino wine kicked serious A!

Gotta say I just discovered your (THE) Show this past weekend and I’m addicted. I definitely love wines and I’m definitely on the beginning edge of the bell curve that is wine enthusiasm, case in point being that I’ve probably only drank 8 full bottles of different wine in my life (I just turned 21, give me a break here).

QOTD: Tried a Monkey Bay White Wine that kicked all sorts of taste, but I can’t remember the vintage. Hmm. I drank a wine this past week called from California called BAREFOOT Sauvignon Blanc 2006. My favorite by far so far.

QOTD: Fairview Viognier from South Africa….tough to find but a real delight. Great nose and fabulous fruit…very yummy.

Sent the 2 year old nephew kisses via webcam…can’t beat it when the relatives are out of state. Cheers!

Going upstairs to kiss my wife and new daughter now (not that I ever need a push for that!). And I’ll be e-mailing after dinner. Thanks, Gary.

QOTD: New? I’ve always enjoyed whites, but I suppose new would be Albarino.

QOTD: Lemelson Tikka’s Run Pinot Gris Willamette Valley – need to buy more it’s so good.
DOTD: Called my godmother and chatted for 15 minutes.

Sine Qua Non The Boot White 2000

Lovingly assaulted my wife at your request, GV.

QOTD: Actually Alstatian Gewurztraminer is a new favorite. Found a nice, acidic, bone dry one at the WL, of course. The ’04 Trimbach, now sold out. Where’s the ’05?????

Man, Gary– Tea Library TV is gonna be PISSED when they hear you hating in Lipton just cuz it’s the cheap stuff.

QOTD: Riesling

QOTD- Lately I’ve been really liking a white Aglanico. Always been a big fan of Vionier and all those obscure Italian varietals.

DOTD: Told the entire family on Sunday how much I love them, which was my 12 year anniversary of my Spinal Cord Injury. We all knew how close I was not to making it out of the hospital, which makes everyday so special. Of course we celebrated the day with some big exciting wines including Velvet Glove, Two Hands and Veuve Clicquot.

QOTD: Albarino
Kissed my husband and my cat Sailor who is successfully recovering from a back wound inflicted by Tigger (I’m sure Sailor started the fight). Drain is out and so is Elizabethan collar (Sailor removed it himself). I kissed Tigger too.
Has your table always been blue? It’s very attractive.
I’m going to have to have Haagen Daaz coffee ice cream pretty soon.

Gary,

Great show…I needed that perspective. And in fact I sent out an email this afternoon to six of my closest friends from high school to let them know how important it is that we are all still so close!

QOTD: New favorite white…Dr. Franks Rkatsiteli 2006

One more time. What’s white wine?

QOTD: I’m BIG on Roussanne, when it’s good… honey, oil, pear and apple, golden acidity… I’ve found Roussanne able to hold high alcohol pretty well, it can be a big white!

I don’t have anyone to kiss right now… what I would like to suggest is that Gary fly a hot model to the thunder and slather Petit Verdot grape jelly all over her bum and they would laugh and recite poems and it would be excellent sexuality !

Really enjoyed the show. Primarily for the emphasis on trying new things and not ruling out the whites even in the middle of February.
QOTD – Torrontes. Great nose, crisp, best characteristics of a lot of grapes all in one package.

QOTD: This is in response to Sasha’s question… First off, I’d like to affirm that I am 13 years of age or older. Secondly, Obama would be a great president because he could inspire a new generation of Americans to engage in our political process. This could potentially do a few things… change our image in the world… make people believe that progress is possible, that war mongers need not control all of our lives… that reason, transparency and values can govern our decisions instead of repression, denial, scapegoating and varying forms of imperialism… The new kind of politics that Obama stands for and speaks about are not simply rhetoric because they embody the hopes of so many; young and old, male and female, every class and ethnicity… This election is special because there is this opening in which change is possible, as long as we don’t let this moment pass us by.
