Its not really a couch or a chair…I know, its the Laid Back Love Seat! Sharin’ the love on the Laid Back Love Seat…

You got me in the mood so I’m going to try that Chapoutier Shiraz from Pyrenees Australian…Hopefully he brings some of that N Rhone old world funk to show those Aussies how to do it!

qotd: i’m in the mood for a syrah now. maybe i’ll do a syrah showdown of my own. i’ll let you know who wins.

…oh yes the wristbands!

I wanted to order the surprisewinetastingpack but unfortunatly you don’t ship to germany, but because you guys are so cool you are sending a wristband! That’ll be my first then!

I wish i could turn back time to be there right on time when the others where available!

But i can’t wait till this wristband arrives! I’ll always wear it whenever a wineglass touches my lips!!….and i drink/spit wine a lot..every day!

QotD: My mother is coming over tonight so I’m popping a Tangley Oaks Merlot. Going to also open a 2003 Casanova di Neri Rosso di Montalcino at some point this weekend.

Loved the head to heads this week! You should make a march madness head to head wine bracket, it could be a big vayniac competition. Anyway, i thought that might be fun 🙂

Mott is hot!!!

QITD: This weekend, I am drinking a Don Elias 2005 Garnacha that Wine Enthusiast so highly recommends.

QOTD: Going out to The Rex here in Billings with my wife Edie so I’m not sure what we’re having yet. She really like’s Sauvignon Blanc and so do I, but I really like everything and she’s not as much into reds. I haven’t found a kind of wine that I haven’t liked some bottle of. I usually drink about 2 bottles a week with Edie having a taste or two at dinner. I probably like Cabernet’s the best, but my favorite type of wine is probably Chataeuneuf Du Pape (not sure on spelling, but you know the one right 🙂 ) Any Rhone wine I’ve tried has been delicious.
Anyway, great shows this week! That must have been a marathon to do them all in one day.

I have zero thats right zero arm bands. I was waiting for Gary to retaste the wine he poured back and say “on second thought it tastes like copy paper mixed with hewlett packard toner ink.

QOTD: A Chinon, My wife and I just watched the Loire Valley episode and Gary made us promise to try one this week. I can’t wait to see if I can smell the wet dog walking through a manure field like Gary spotted.

I might think twice before using the dancing pooping two-year old line to describe a bottle to customers. But anyway.
QOTD: tonight, I’m sharing with some friends my first homebrew to win an award in a competition–a blend of 75% Belgian blond ale, 25% (homemade)chenin blanc wine.

I am trying a Philippe-Lorraine 2001 Cab….amongst others TBD

Once again, “Mott, drink it up !”

Going to an at home wine tasting on Saturday. Folks are bringing what they like and we will do a blind tasting too.

QOTD: Going to try a Chilean Carmenere for the first time. Had to go back to Episode 21 to get a little education–safe travels home! 😉

QOTD— Going to to a little different , how about a nice wine from Alsace…. and a nice dinner with friends

This was a great week – you have got to do a Head-To-Head, Rocky Vs Ivan, week again sometime soon as it was a lot of fun to watch and very educational.

QOTD – invited to a friends for Swiss rockette (sp?) so as it’s cheese, it will be a white wine.

THINK ILL OPEN UP A 2002 CARAVAN CAB AND MATCH IT UP WITH SOME 2006 ORIN SWIFT “PRISONER” ……….FRUIT BOMB CITY !!

BTW I don’t have ANY of the wristbands – I want some schwag! What does a girl have to do to get some schwag around here?!

QOTD: TR Elliott Russian River Pinot Noir with some salmon tonight and seeing how dinner isn’t entirely planned out for the weekend that’s about as far as I can go for the moment.

QOTD: A 1998 Guigal CdP

Nope…I only have the latest wristband.

I’m going to open up a bottle of the Chateau De Callac Graves Blanc 2006 that I got from the two year anniv “secret” deal.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Oh man, you must have changed AJ’s diapers a few times :-). LOL GV has near instantaneous recall of memory. That really is amazing. You should go on Jeopardy!
QOTD: I’m having some Winner’s Tank Shiraz (hey, that’s a Syrah)… just using up leftovers :-). I think GV rated that 89 or so. Yup, this is good shtuff.
Hey, Erica37, wristbands *are* schwag ! Along with t-shirts, dvds, and the like.

QOTD- This weekend taking a case of assorted gems from Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Australia, California, Oregon, and Washington, along with a 3 Liter of 97 Barolo, on a guys golfing weekend at Bandon Dunes. We like to think of it as aiming fluid or as a supplement to the Ibuprofin to keep as going.
