    Enjoyed the episode and the education.

    My most unique feature, I guess my bald little head. And my scathing wit.

    QOTD: my ability to foster friendships with people across a wide spectrum of completely disparate groups – and bring them all together. “a genius of random people”

  • On the white, if it’s a little sweeter than Kix… Honeycomb cereal is sorta in between Sugar Smacks and Kix. Give it a nibble. I’ve had some wines that are sort of cereal-y and Honeycomb usuallly matches up with the flavor well. A little sweet, grainy like Kix, but not overwhelming and toasted like Sugar Smacks.

    By the by, sorry again I couldn’t make it down to Boston tonight after all your warm invitation! I haven’t been staying in touch so it came up rather suddenly. Feel free to come visit us in New Hampshire, too, I feel pretty comfortable speaking for my fellow New Hampster-ites in saying we would love to have you and I’ll strongarm every wine drinker I know to come, to boot! 🙂

    Gary thanks you so much for so many good times! Entertainment. I love Indian food and want anybody to help me out for a great wine pairing with such strong “over the top” taste that India brings to the table. Cheers

  • Good show and glad you were honest, as always.

    QOTD: Unique characteristic? Unique to whom? If I had to describe myself, I would say it has to be my unbridled passion and commitment to those who treat me with respect and love.

    P.S. Having the Rasina Brunello right now. I’m sure it would have spanked the Chance Meritage, Quite nice.

    A week from todayyyyyyyyyy I get to meet the G-Man. 🙂

    Good idea to focus on one winery. Do more of these.
    I’m experiencing a little disappointment with a Portuguese wine from the Douro, but likely I’ll get over it.

    Nice winery, and had a good time there in 05′. QOTD: I’m brutally honest, the older I get the less palatable political correctness is to me.

  • Hey Gary, the Sugar Smacks mascot was Sugar Bear – not a frog! Honey Smacks was the one hawked by a frog – “Dig ’em” Frog to be exact.

    QOTD: My most unique characteristic has to be my humility. I’m proud to be humble. 🙂

    I haven’t laughed as hard watching this show as when you did the Irvin shiffy-sniff. Each episode is fun and interesting in its own way. Amazing job.

    I love that fact that even though you know the folks who own the winery are fantastic people, that doesn’t influence your rating of the wines. Honesty is the best policy!

    QOTD: My commitment to the choices I make… wheter good or bad.

  • QOTD: One eyebrow is higher than the other. My barber has to do a little shaving to make them even. And another thing, I like to make fun of everything.

    QOTD: Venturing out into the uncomfortable. I’m an introvert that tries to meet people, I’m an old school timid guy that endeavors to experience new things, and I’m a man of faith that asks questions.
