    Always fun hanging with you at the end of the day. Great show.
    QOTD: I am passionate about young soldiers and their enthusiasm for life. I’m lucky enough to hang out with them, counsel them or be a big sister or even a Mom. And tonight I get to ref their soccer matches. What can I say? I love these guys and the energy they send my way. I want them all to come back safe and whole.

  • Andrew H.

    QOTD: I am very passionate about fly fishing (spey) and being outdoors.

  • Super interested in the Rustenberg Chardonnay after watching this. And loved your take on these. You have opened my eyes to thinking about the wines more personally. Used to just drink…now I THINK and drink! Thanks for that! Keepemcoming SuperVEE!

  • Eric Gardner

    GV- liked the show until you hit yourself in the face, then loved it. You gave yourself your own wakeup call. Dying to try the 2005 Clos Du Prieur. Good description, sounds like my kind of wine.

    QOTD- Sounds dorky but I’m passionate about my job. I work on a TV show and I love it.

    Could not leave a comment for yesterday’s episode but a couple of things:

    Be the guy who orders the meal at dinner that everyone else says gross.

    Serve the wine at dinner that no one has heard of. It just makes things interesting.

    Right now I am passionate about finding a J-O-B managing OPM.

    Aside from enjoying a good glass of wine with my wife, my love is playing badminton although I have a bad elbow at the moment and cannot play as much as I would like.

    BTW – Gary “My little Pony” and spitting the wine, I think you are showing too much of your feminine side. Think you need to wear a JETS jersey to balance it out

    Great show, I love the Edmeades too! My boss went on a fishing trip with the winemaker and he had it on ice pretty early in the day. Very interesting guy.

    QOTD: Besides wine and family I am passionate about my dog Remington, and my cat Hosea. They have been the best pets a person could ask for. They actually may count as family, but I had to mention them.

    Today’s episode rocked! My eight year old daughter is now a vayniac for life because she saw you had the same ponies as her. She watched the whole episode with me and loved it. That is what family is all about! I think you needed some Rogue River Blue with the Zin!

  • brent

    QOTD: The Montreal Canadiens…. (and not just cause they’re in 1st place now!)

    QOTD: Cooking and eating really good tasting food. It doesn’t have to be gourmet. It can be a burger or comfort food but the trick, and the challenge, is to make it EXCEPTIONAL. The best compliment, and I hear it often (disgusting self pat on the back), is when someone says, “You know, I don’t usually like this, but this is really good!”

    And Gary, about the lack of comments and your self-esteem. Let’s work on being a little more self-directed rather than other-directed 🙂

    Hey! What about Mott’s t-shirt?! He’s going to keep sabotaging the links until he has a shirt, you know…
    Good show. I can just see you as a kid stealing your sister’s My Little Ponies as props for your wrestling action figures. Now that you’re all grown up, you offer them wine on your show. ;D
    QOTD: My dementia patients/residents, their families and educating people about dementia care. Also horses- working around ’em, riding, training, teaching beginner riders, everything.
