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.

  • Thanks for letting the cat out of the bag on the Ampelos – you jerk! Kidding.

    Jets will be 7-9 this year. Looks like a quick 0-3 start in my eyes…Pennington will look like MVP Brett Favre, and Favre will throw 3 picks. I’d get used to it though, the INTs will be coming fast and furious.

    A month or so ago, you kind of dissed Favre, so I really expected a bit of outrage from you. I guess now you want to be neutral in case you get to meet him, get autograph, etc. I feel sorry for the Jets if they need this old guy to help them win a few games….
    Smell it first!

  • Pete G

    Great pinot battle. Had a bottle of that Boedecker pinot from Oregon you recommended several shows ago and it was money!

    QOTD: Farve comes in to save the season late. 10-6

    I’d offer you 25 cents a piece for your #11 jerseys you turncoat, but I don’t really want to continually answer the “Who’s he?” questions 🙂

    QOTD: Sorry Gary, 7-9, and that’s as good as it gets.

    Oh, by the way, nice show. The wine reviews are why I watch the show. Living in SF area I always get amused by Raider fans who are sure that their latest acquisition is going to lead to the Super Bowl, EVERY YEAR, before training camp closes. After the 4-12 season what do you hear? Not so much 🙂

    Another great show Gary! QOTD: 11-5. Brett Favre is a big, big piece.

    I’m not a Jet lover or hater. The NY Jets, as far as I’m concerned made a bonehead move getting Farve. He quit twice with a team/community that loved the pants off him…………..he’s burned out. For the Jets to change their team, getting rid of Chad Pennington, and pay big bucks for someone who is almost guaranteed to be a shorttimer (my guess would be he won’t make it to Nov) is NOT med or long term thinking.

    Being a Packers fan, I will miss Brett. He should do OK, if he’s reined in. He had one of his best seasons in 2007 when McCarthy (the Packers coach) kept him under control. If he’s reined in and has a decent ground game, 10-6 and a playoff spot.

  • I don’t care how old you are, when someone says “poop”, everybody laughs a little bit. It was great to hear a little bit more about the cruise. It sounds awesome (especially if there’s going to be a few hot young ladies).

    QOTD: 7-9. I just don’t think they’re going to get to that .500 mark just yet. Plus, Favre makes WAY too many stupid plays to get the Jets over that hump.

    Great show, wanted to taste Antica Terra for a while now. Maggie actually isn’t the assistant at SQN anymore, but makes a great syrah, which you mentioned her own label called “Lillian”.

    WB GV. I enjoy these death-match shows, where grapes from different regions go at it.

    Gary,
    You never answered my question on facebook!

    Here it is again:

    Gary, I have a good idea for a show, and if you do the show, a good wine to try for that particular show. The show should be, “The Sniffy-Sniff Show”. For the show, choose wines that have a fantastic or bizarre aroma. My suggestion for the show is Root: 1 Chilean 2006 cabernet sauvignon. I bought a bottle at Costco. When I opened it, the smell took over my kitchen (furthermore, it taste not bad at all). Tell me what you think?

    I hope you have time to answer the question.
    Leo
