    qotd: wine is to gary as tv is to me.

    i can’t really pick one, but a definite top would be firefly, since it changes genres almost every episode while still carrying a great background story.

    I was hoping to have my first Barbera this past weekend, but my local wine shop didn’t have the greatest selection. My favorite TV show of all time, without question, is The Wire.

    Dern, a minute before me, someone said Whatchamacallit. It didn’t know as I typed that someone else was guessing the same. It makes sense….Halloween….chocolate….

    Barbera. I’m a fan and we have several in our storage unit. In fact we were going to open one Saturday but we had Rioja. Yesterday I had my first Falanghina. It was nice, pleasant.

    QOTD: I can’t decide. Sopranos. Cheers. Brady Bunch. Probably Cheers.
