    QOTD : 23 Mott is selecting the winner yes? Is there a winner? Where am I?

    Gotta be pretty quick to pick up the “link it up” demo. At about 19:18.75, for about a squillionth of a second.

  • So has Mott made legal drinking age yet. I kid 42 is my guess. I have had the Ciro many times but did not know it wasn’t Sangiovese. Disappointed in the Travaglini as that is the Gattinara I can get here and I have bought it for over 20 years. wasn’t ’03 the really hot year in Italy? Will have to get a few bottles of the Antonio as it sounds great. Won’t be in SF as I live 2700 miles away and while both parties sound great at the price of plane fare and gas expense in CA, not likely to happen.

  • Paul C

    Happy Birthday Big Boy!

    QOTD: 42, or a hard living 36!

  • Interesting contrast:

    TRAVAGLINI GATTINARA 2003

    This wine made the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wine list in 2007.

    “Has lots of dried flowers and very ripe fruits, with a Christmas pudding undertone. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, rich finish. A little Port-like, but rich and impressive. This is consistently delicious. Best after 2010. Score – 91.” (James Suckling, http://www.winespectator.com, Dec. 15, 2007)

    Maybe you had an off bottle?

    QOTD: Mott is 43. That’s my guess. 🙂

    Glad to see the DNA is still working for you.

    QOTD: I thought you said at the beginning of the show that Mott was 50. But I like Oscar Wilde’s quote about women, and maybe it applies to men too: “No woman should ever be quite accurate about her age. It looks so calculating.”

  • QOTD #1: Mr. Mott is 52 years old.

    QOTD #2: If I’m in town on business I’ll be there. That is highly unlikely though 🙁

    I’m diggin’ the user-suggested shows.

    QOTD1: I’m guessing 48.

    QOTD2: Yes! Yes and yes! I live in SF, saw the pics from last year’s event, and I can’t wait to head out to Fort Mason to meet all you Vayniacs and hang with Gary. (Don’t forget drink some great wine.)

    On a side note, last time I was at Fort Mason was for Oktoberfest, and it was downright terrible. A horrible event planned for about 1,500 when really about 5,000 people showed up. I’m sure this one will be much more enjoyable.

    Cheers!
