I had most of those guys, including Mossman. I hope you open that up when you get that smell again. It would be a little messed up just to have someone buy that so you could check the smell and then you just keep it in the box for a collectible lol.

    Glad to see you got the Stinkor!

    You’re right, a classic show though I’m watching it as I type.

    I’m hoping Oregon wins this matchup.

    I’ll be back to answer QOTD.

    Cheers!

    Gary: Woo Hoo….appreciate the Bday shout-out!!! Tallahassee is in the panhandle of Florida and the home the the FSU Seminoles….Jax Jaguaers are the closest pro team about 150 miles to the east!

  • Dominus

    QOTD: Tough one but I’ll go 9-7. Besides NE and SD the rest are winnable.

    Bummer about the Oregon Pinot. I, too, was expecting a better showing.

    Great show and I gotta sign up for the T-Cruise.

    qotd: 7-9 everyone forgets farve was an INT machine until last year, and with a new offense and different receivers he will throw at least 20 picks.
    I did an very similar tasting this weekend with pinots from burgundy, oregon and california: 05 maume gevrey, 02 beaux freres, 02 belle souers shea vineyard, 04 school house, 05 rochioli west block, 05 rochioli east block. Had almost the same results: oregon disappointed, rochioli west block killed it, east just behind; school house and the gevrey were very good.

  • Farve might be an INT machine but he doesn’t hold all the records because he sucks… I was leaning 9 and 7 before Farve… I’m thinking the Green Machine will add 3 wins… 11 and 3. I think the Jets will make the playoffs this years… And no I’m not Jets fan.. (Go Big D!).

    Good Show. You mentioned that the OR Pinot was a good wine, but there were equally good wines at half the price. I am sure that is correct, but I doubt you will find another Pinot that good at that price. If you want to spend big money on a wine that drinks a 7 dollar bottle, Oregon Pinot Noir in the $20-%25 range is the way to go.

    Great show. I consider you results for CA vs. OR PN today to be an aberration:)

    Would love to join the Thunder Cruise, but no way to make it happen with the twins.

    QOTD – 6 and 10.

  • QOTD: Jets fall on their face first 4 games. Go 1-3. Then recover and finish 9-7. Make the playoffs and win at least 1 if not 2 games.

    QOTD: No clue. Don’t even know how to score your wierd style of football. (Bring on the flames guys 😉

    Regarding the Poop. Can you talk a little to your Vaynerites about what makes the poop in the wine. I’d have thought being new world that it isn’t poor vinefication, so is it intentional? If you get the chance in your shows it would be nice to hear your comments about what causes some of the (unusual) aromas that you encounter.

    Thanks for the shows Gary 🙂

  • Yes I’ve had cinnamon sticks! I love eating them. Especially the way they get so sweet if you chew them long enough. You gotta embrace a bit-o-pain, though.

  • QOTD: 16-0…. Gary I know you love the jets, but if you want to urge the lurkers out you gotta ask questions they can answer…
    weren’t you gonna talk about your trip to India?
    And yes, despite the texture, gnawing on cinnamon sticks is tasty. Personally, I like to put the sticks on top of my coffee grinds or in boiling water to get the fresh cinnamon taste without the bark in my teethe =).
