Nice head to head, viognier is one of my favorites. I also watched on viddler today which show the view counts, pretty cool. Alot of lurkers.
QOTD- Smurfette for sure, she was a hotty in a blue animated sort of way

Like the head to head format,too.

QOTD: We don’t know any Smurfs. Missed them somehow…darn.

I’m loving the converstaion format you brought to this show. Very relaxed and enjoyable… especially for laid back Friday.

QOTD: Um… Smurfs.. I guess Papa Smurf cause he is the only one I really remember.

Hooray! You used 2 glasses! One for one. I thought that worked out so much better than rinsing ’cause we could compare the two visuals so easily plus you could taste back and forth. Liking.

Me and my roommate agree, Smurfette, for reasons too odd to go into. I’m seeing my Mother tomorrow, who has just recently taken an interest in wine. I’ll be sure to turn her towards Gary in the near future. Rock on bro!

Gary — please do an episode with the St. Jean Du Barroux Le Blanc 2005 — it is one of the most perplexing white wines ever….please!

I like the head to head, maybe do two head to heads an episode (4 wines)

Had an incredible, and pricey at $28, viognier at Melville this weekend.

QOTD: Brainy Smurf – reminds me of Cliff Claven.

When you come to Des Moines, you have to go to Gong Foo tea. I know you dig the leaves, and it is less than a block from the book store. See you then!

GARY, VIOGNIER IS GREAT…TRY THE ARGENTINA AND AUSTRALIA ONES…ALSO GREAT BLENDED WITH SHIRAZ 5-8%…DICK…
PS DON’T BURN OUT..

That’s funny, I knew you had to like the Smurfs. I use to have a ton of characters, my brother and I always fought over officer smurf (dressed as a cop blowing a whistle and holding a billyclub) But jokey was the shiz!

QOTD: definitely the hot blue chick. Waiting for Captain Kirk to drop into the show and make it with her…

I really like viogner. Interestingly enough, it seems to be catching on with the Texas wineries. Just tasted a Llano Viogner today, decent for $10. I prefer the Becker, oily, full bodied, with good acidity, for $14. Its such a good food wine, like rieslings.

Dave.

Really cool change in format today- it was a nice and chatty episode. I definitely liked it. Won’t be there for NYC or the Dirty Jerse, but I just reserved my place in Boston!

QOTD: Never really was into the Smurfs, sorry.

I’ll admit I had a few viongnier and passed them off, so I’ll give them another shot.
QOTD: Sassy smurf of course!

Gary if I threw a ball to you from 50 yards away would you catch it ?
You can talk the talk about sports but can you walk the walk ?
Are you actually sporty ?

Also was there a bit of Singer-chuk in there. It’s getting hot in here!
Maybe a show by song one day!

QOTD: “Melanie Griffin” Smurf

I was under the impression Gary’s book didn’t come out till Tuesday? Yet I picked it up at my local B&N this past Friday. What gives? Anyways, good stuff, and good show. Looking forward to reading it.

Papa Smurf all the way. Gotta give props to the O.G.

Great show keep up the great work.

Don’t know about the smurfs but once I stayed at Turnberry Isle in Miami and I found a camera on a couch in the lobby so I turned it in and at the time it was film, not digital….or I would have checked out the pics…lol

Anyway I got a magnum of Crystal with 2 dozen roses deliverd to my room that night with a note that said thank you so much for returning my camera. The pictures were from my recent trip to Paris and irreplacable. You are a very special person.

Well……guess who’s camera it was.

Give up?

It was the inventor and owner of Smurfs. Or his wife. I remember she was Asian but I forget the name.

I guess it pays to be good…!!!!

🙂

QOTD: Much love to BIG PAPA smurf…

QOTD: Smurfette is by far my favorite. I mean, a bunch of dude smurfs would just be weird. She balances everything out.

qotd: A Whooooooooooooo ?????????

QOTD:Dreamy smurf of course,great show gary!Can’t wait to see you on Conan,and get my books.

QOTD: Gotta be Vaynersmurf.
