Just revisited this episode. I’ve been a fan of Water Wheel for a while, being fairly local to where I am. I especially like their Cabernet Sav. I’d like you to try their Chardonnay some time too.

  • Hey Gary!

    Good to see you embracing my wine, dammit!
    I thought the wines you picked for that meal at SXSW were really nice!

    Cheers mate!

    Middle America is where it’s at, GV! Come by Columbus on a saturday and you’ll get lost in a wave of scarlet and gray, SERIOUSLY! I loved the content today… value-priced wines are brining the thunder for those of us who don’t roll deep in the pockets!

    QOTD: The Tribe is gonna take it all the way this year!! Our pitching may be off to a rocky start on opening day, but the offense is firing on all 9 cylinders to hide any flaws!!

    Oh them dang Tigers. By the time I left my desk & got in my car, they lost it in the 11th inning. I can’t help rooting for them & I know they were in the Series….but it all seems like a dream.

  • NEWino

    You must come to Lincoln NE if you are serious about the Midwest College FBall tour. Stumbled on to you a couple of weeks ago and now I’m hooked, even bought the 2pack for tomorrow and my wife might actually try it. She hates you less and less each time I make her watch.

    QOTD : Royals and Rockies – because no one else is close to where I live.
