HELLCATS 2002 season TXRD — they’re playing this sunday March 30th — GO HELLCATS!
i find it difficult to believe you are holding back at all Gary! i am so looking forward to seeing you
let it all hang out for the reals. 2 questions: what’s an M.O.B. ? and, whose ponies are those??

Ah! No more conversational wink! Otherwise, great show 😉

QOTD: Coffee. I am a huge coffee geek. In fact, I’m about to go make some.

Thanks for the review, we love your show here at Tolosa. And thanks for the props to the lady winos. Cheers!

Skateboarding is pretty high on the list… I have been skating for like 15 years and I’m terrible, but there’s nothing quite like cutting loose on the streets of New York- it’s got to be a passion – most of the roads here are so gnarly that you have to be dedicated to skate.

Environmental and social issues – this is what keeps me up at night (last night).

QOTD:Music from 20th century composers like Igor Stravinsky, Alban Berg and Bela Bartok.

Great show Chuk. Anything less, would be uncivilized.

What’s up with the apparently spontaneous mood change right after you sniffed the Zin?

QOTD – italian food, land rovers, and lots of “quality time” with the misses 🙂

GV,
Good shows last couple of days. Couldn’t comment on the Ripasso episode, so I will here. That is one of my favorite every day wines. Good values, considering the price of amarone. The 2003 Zenato is really drinking well now, probably does not have that funky finish that the 05 you drank has. You should retry in a couple of years.
QOTD from that episode: My random fact is that I am moving Third Thirsty Thursday to First Thirsty Thursday next week to celebrate my 47th Birthday with some vino and my good friends.

QOTD today: I am passionate about doing everything I can to prevent colon cancer in our population.
JWB

Ditto on that couldn’t leave a comment yesterday. The comment link wasn’t there…!! Maybe Mott took it off because he’s not getting his Tee Shirt…?? Better keep an eye on him…. 😉

QOTD: Pool, Guitar, Cooking, Photography.

QOTD: running

CHEESE

Nice show, look like some good values.

QOTD: reading.

I came across your name watching the Wine Confidential and I had to check you out. I really enjoyed it and will certainly keep watching. I love your approach!

What I like? Of course The Clippers 1986! And besides the Hacienda Monasterio 2004, Ribera del Duero, Spain from yesterday.

Great show. I’ve got to check out more pic st loup wines.

What am I passionate about in my life? Rugby.

Long time lurker, first time comment-er…
love the show!!! solid, consistent source of information!

missing the special guest wine-maker shows of day’s/years past. cummon GV i’m sure you got the hook-up’s.
great show today. rockin the ZIN!
show idea -> “lateral” [slight miss-use of the term] tastings within a producer… yes, it’s a little “brand”-ed but, let’s face it… you find a good wine – you’re more apt to return to that producer for other varietals, no???
let’s toss out a place to start [kinda out there]: LUIGI BOSCA (Argentina, Mendoza) — from 15-bone Malbecs to $40 meritage (Gala series)… just a thought ;o)

QOTD: finding the PERFECT Cuban Sandwich!!!

I like the idea of giving wine human characteristics, that will be interesting to hear, and to try. And bring on the food!

QOTD: Gardening; so great for so many reasons!

QOTD: I’m passionate about anything that helps kids. By the way GV…What’s M.O. B.?

First time post! QOTD Experimenting! I’m a scientist but am passionate about experimenting and trying other new things…wine, food, people, books, etc. it makes things interesting!

QOTD: GV! You are talking to a man who has all the passion in the world for his Pittsburgh sports teams. The Stillers…the Pens…even the lowly Pirates. The players on all of those teams at the current state are truly Pittsburghers at heart and it feels good to have teams like we do. But I have to say, that my #1 passion in the world is being the best man I can be for my fiance. Family GV, all about the family!

Great show Gary. I’m glad you’re tasting some central coast stuff (Tolosa), the area has a lot to offer. GO SLO!

QOTD: Green Bay Packers 1967 & 1996

Great show, as always, Gary.

QOTD: Photography.
