    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.

    I am loyal to my family and friends, their names are safe in my mouth.

    i would do the third thirsty thursday if I had friends who drank wine a lot. But I don’t, although there is a wine tasting at a wineshop just down the road every thursday. So once I do get that crowd, its a garauntee i’ll have something to do.

    qotd: i’m a very loyal friend, sometimes I think too loyal because I’ll get burn by it. the most recent occassion was a buddy of mine completely trashing my apartment because he had too much to drink on a night right before an exam in one of my classes. needless to say he’s not allowed back in my apartment. but I do think it is one of my better qualities if I don’t get too carried away.

  • Right on “Q”…Mott with the 85 pan. That was excellent!!! Love it. Hope you’re enjoying Boston, Gary.

    QOTD: My most unique characteristic has to be my lazy eye. Everyone always thinks I’m talking to the person to the right of them. It’s annoying, but amusing none the less.

    So just got back from a formal tasting as a guest with a wine club that has been at it for 23 years. Great guys. Double blind tasting. I guessed west coast cabs and they were cab merlot blends from Washington. The 2005 Walla Walla Spring Valley Uriah got my highest score. Killer.

    My most unique characteristic might be the number of hobbies and sports I pursue. I want to do a lot of things. Not someone who wonders what I will do when I retire!

    I like when you compare one winery – your honesty in all of the tastings ROCK!

    Nice camera job Mott!!

    QOTD: My ability to make people feel comfortable in any situation…an easy thinking way of life! 3 questions I ask myself: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? of what I am about to say or think!! Compassion is a virtue!

    Enjoy!

  • QOTD: My goofy sarcasm, which comes out less and less as I get older so I should probably reverse that.

    Great to see Santa Cruz on your show. When I grew up there 40 years ago (am now in Western NY) there were no grapes. The hills were alive with another cash crop that you might give a sniffy sniff to but would not drink…

    My aura is my most unique characteristic. Hey, I’m west coast, not far from the Santa Cruz Mnts.in fact. Yes it is my unique aura…can you see it?…can you see it now?

    Our Third Thirsty Thursday tasting group (that meets on Friday) was moved from this Friday to next, but we’ve met each month since March. We were total strangers at the start- pretty cool.

    Interesting to hear about an area and winery I’m unfamiliar with. Fun show. Mott is so under appreciated…

    QOTD: Unique implies one of a kind, so I guess my only truly unique characteristic would be my DNA… 😉

    QOTD: My unflinching objective realism. Even if it’s something I really don’t want to see/know, if it’s true, I see it. And even if it’s something I really do want to see, if it’s not there I don’t see it. I’m insanely perceptive. My blessing and my curse!

    Great show – please keep rockin’ the T-Shirts – they’re really fun!
