    I know I keep asking but I will ask again, what kind of glass is that? I like it. I don’t know why but I do.

    QOTD: WLTV of course. And Wikipedia. Whenever I have a curiosity about something, I always start there. Every subject I read sparks curiosity for 5 more things, and then 5 more, etc. etc.

  • Tried a Monastrell (Mourvedre) last week… it brought the Thunder. What the heck was that. Este de Bodegas Alto Almanzora Spain 2005.
    QOTD: Um. I usually have 15 windows open at once. I hope I’m not ‘obsessed’ with them. OK let’s pick WordPress as I’m trying to work with it.

    QOTD: what else but Winelibrary TV! 🙂

    also, since the motorcycle racing seasons started, any website that has any kind of motorcycle racing news.

    QOTD — here and the forums don’t count?

    Welcome back. Looking forward to see how Weir’s tannic bomb works out tomorrow. What is it with Golfer’s and starting their own wineries? Norman, Els now Weir. I think Gary Player dabbles, too.

    QOTD: At the moment….WLTV, its forums, and general wine research.

    Yeah Gary, your Jets signed everybody… including Derek Anderson (your team needs a QB, badly ;-)), Shaun Rogers, Corey Williams, and Donte Stallworth. OH WAIT! That was my Browns, baby! I guess you DIDN’T sign anyone worthwhile…

    QOTD: WLTV, ESPN.COM, flyfishing forums, and Wikipedia.

    QOTD: nuthin but WLTV, but I wanted to mention that my wife returned from a girls weekend in Florida and bought me a nice crystal decanter. Can’t wait to do a tasting with two of the same wines, one bottle decanted, one just popping the cork. Thanks Gary for all the education. And I also did go to the grocery store and buy some raspberry and blackberry jam and a big old mango to get my pal educated.

    Cool show with the variety…even though they didn’t turn out the greatest. I was curious to see what you thought of that Mourvedre.

    I was a big Pandora fan about a year ago, but moved away from it when the whole internet radio laws were trying to get passed. I now have upgraded my Sirius to Premium Internet, and listen to it all day at work–worth the extra $3 a month, IMO.

    QOTD: Easy Question! WLTV has definitely taken over as my #1 Internet obsession!

    Amazing stuff, you my friend are now a big-leaguer in my book.

  • QotD: I am way to obsessed with election stuff, especially the different blogs, polls, boards, etc. When that’s over I’m back to soccer news all the time.

    Had a DOPE mouvedre just last week that I picked up for $11 at the local wine shop. I wish I had written down the name. I’ll have to go back and get another.
