Taking the secret pack to dinner with some friends on wednesday. Hoping to get you some new vayniacs. thanks for always bringing the thunder

JASON: QOTD: Stooges, VU, Dylan, Hedrix, Beatles, Who, legal LSD, no AIDS – missed it all…
QOTD II: no.

CRISTA: My grandmother’s neon coloured matching bathroom ensemble, hot pink,orange…

Gary, who finishes off the bottles when you don’t pour them out with disgust into the spit bucket? Cool show, now let’s see some Frenchies send you a series of 1940s wines.

Q.O.T.D. I don’t remember the 60s, so I must’ve been there.

Hey, Alex, I was +23 in ’64, and like the Martini, was charming in my (relative) youth. You’re right, the music was the incredible background for all the landmarks and milestones. Those would include marriage in ’64, Expo 67, wife & I experiencing Europe at The Queen’s expense, some fine automobiles, Sputnik, the Kennedys’ (Camelot, came-a-lot and tragedy) and Man on the Moon.

QOTD: Short answer: http://yeli.us/Flash/Fire.html

I was not born till 1984, but my favorite part of the 1960’s is the Moon landing!

Saturday September 13 1969, The first Scooby Doo Episode, “What a Night for a Knight”

QOTD: I can’t believe I forgot landing on the moon!!!

Just wondered if the wines have been decanted, and if not why not?

QOTD: NASA and the project to put a person on the moon. This was probably the last time this nation had a goal that generated so much interest and commitment. Also, let’s not forget the GB Packers and their two super bowl victories in 67 and 68!

BUT YOU BETTER BE SINGING ALONG!

hmm, the sixties…. how about for the first time since reconstruction the federal government actually tried to ensure that everyone, regardless of race, could vote, and that segregation was illegal. the government actually stood up for true democracy for once. of course, things still aren’t perfect, but that was a pretty good start, and we have a lot of dedicated, courageous activists to thank for their efforts.

good show today.

QOTD #1: Sgt. Pepper
QOTD #2: Nope

qotd:: the velvet underground

loved this episode. other than the guests/excursions a few weeks ago and southern france, this was prolly the coolest thing you’ve done lately.

I want another episode with cheese too. When are we going to see that?

QOTD: Gosh, I was born in ’66, so can’t really speak firsthand. But I love the whole spirit of adventure/questioning and individuality that seemed to infuse the culture in the late ’60’s, in spite of the violence and sadness that may have inspired some of it – or resulted from it.

GV – Fun show! QOTD – the music and graphic design

Cool show Gary. Thanks.
QOTD #1: Beatles. QOTD #2 No, I wont be there. I’m sure it will be a blast though.

I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff

Bob Dylan, 1965

Great episode, but who the heck still cranks up “Heart” on their stereo??

Hope you had a good weekend. Wish I could have been there.

QOTD: Cut your hair hippy!

Sorry I couldnt make it, saw the photos looked like it was a blast.

Rob Perrelli, you are probably right about the fermenters as I just recently saw a redwood fermenter in an old storage barn at Stoney Hill winery. They no longer use that particular fermenter but it looked well used. Haven’t seen any redwood casks in a long time. The redwood taste is in all of my notes for Martini wines from the 60’s and 70’s. Actually, I got tired of the redwood taste and nose so we stopped buying Martini for that reason. Wish I head kept a few bottles just to compare but at the time I was still new to wine tasting and holding wines longer than 5 years would have been unusual for me.

QOTD #1 – my first car, a 1966 Springtime Yellow Ford Mustang, straight 6, 3 speed automatic – very cool car for a 17 year old in 1988 and you could even work on it without a laptop connected to the car
