    Just ordered two books and can’t wait for them to arrive – actually I will wait because I selected free shipping so that I’ll have more to spend on wine!

  • boegemann

    Btw- for the sake of smelling/tasting the wine, consider a wine glass for sparklers. Of course… switch to the flute for guests.

    Congratulations on the book… when it comes right down to it… that’s cool.

  • Billy F

    QOTD: Yesy Yes! I’ll buy two. BTW… you should also publish your book for the Amazon Kindle. Cheers.

    QOTD: I never, ever post, but I am breaking my own personal rule for you, Gary. Congrats on the book! I will definitely be purchasing several copies to hand out to my restaurant staff! By the way, if you love Salon, you will love (or maybe already love) Henri Giraud’s ’96 Fut de Chene. It is one of my all time favorite Champagnes…

  • Hey congrats Gary. I’m getting one… maybe two. When it comes out can you please do the free shipping on some(or all) of the wines mentioned. I can’t promise I’ll get the 101 but a good dozen to begin for sure.

    Cheers

    BEST QUOTE EVER!: “This Champagne Reminds Me of Zelda!” Gary, I will definitely pump your book; I know a few Wine & Spirits store owners in the Albany NY / Capital Region area, and will try to get them to carry your book!

    Hey, congrats on the book. I’m definitely going to get a copy, maybe even go on Amazon and piggy back it with Season Six and Seven of Buffy, although maybe I’m pushing it with Buffy, coveting too much of a good thing, dabbling in demystification. I see big marketing potential for the book in the middle of toxic/industrial/post-industrial landscapes, on small patches of dirt and prickly grass along the Fish House Road or the McCarter Highway or Flushing Ave. where hawkers can sell the book from rustic stalls while conducting tastings and grilling blood sausages, chicken skins and ramps and asparagus.

  • Saul

    Hey, how about a shout out to all the Graduating Seniors in the CKC nation? Also, the book looks cool, can’t wait to read it.
