  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTT!!!
    Cheers to the man behind the magic, the zoomer, the lensmaster!
    AND by the way what wine selection would complement that cake?

    My answer —–> Mott doesn’t look a day over 29…BUT…

    My guess is he’s 41!!!

    Keep up the great shows, my PAL has learned a thing or 2!

    Bonarda and Charbono, I’ll have to remember those are the same thing. I think I’ve only had Charbono from the west coast in blends.

    QOTD 1: Happy Birthday, Mott! I’m guessing you’re 49.
    QOTD 2: Gary, I’ll be in San Fran. in July, but on the wrong week. Too bad! When are we doing the Vayniac Cab release party? I’m going to make a special trip for that one. You better host a big party out there.

    I’ve had Gaglioppo, that one! Actually I’m the only one with a review for that wine in CellarTracker right now. I picked it up from you (with free shipping) because Dr. Debs wrote about the previous vintage. I didn’t get the interesting finish you got, but I did enjoy it. It was perfect for the broccoli, chicken, and mushroom casserole that we had. We were looking for a light red wine and that hit the spot.

    All I have to say is HELL YES! This is the episode I have been waiting for. Honestly, Gary has an overwhelming personality and his human side comes out when he is dealing/talking to other people. The fact that he had Mott come in front of the camera was brilliant. I LOVED IT. I also like having a younger palette to counter balance the expertise of Gary. I have an extremely young palette and could learn a lot from having someone like me have their comments referenced to an experts like Gary’s. This gives me a reference point. LOVED IT and happy birthday Mott.

    I am with the 42 crowd. Mott good job showing Gary how to drink wine! So I will try to clear my calendar for the 7/10 party. Gotta plan some customer visits in the Bay Area around then.

    Not that I am one to point out others mistakes that much since I make plenty of them myself, but just a little note for those new to the Bay Area. They don’t much care for having the City by the Bay referred to as “Frisco”. Something to keep in mind if you are trying to be polite and fit in when you are there. No big deal though in any case.

  • Aw Man, I don’t think I can do either date in SF. A Thursday in July is nearly impossible, and Aug 9 is BarCampHouston. 🙁 I will be there in spirit, and will maybe see you in Houston again?

  • Gary I don’t know where to go to buy a Wristband. There was no buy wristband link in the Schwag section and I also responded to your Seesmic and haven’t recieved a sticker yet either (coolest sticker ever BTW), keep up the good work with your show and can’t wait to see you on Revision 3.
