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.

    Nice show, I like the challenge format of having the same grape but different
    regions. Nice to have you back!
    QOTD: 10-6
    One of those losses will come Dec. 21st in Seattle.
    My boys (Gary & Chuck V.) and I look forward to tailgating with
    you before that game.

    GREAT ENERGY – GREAT style – you are back! I’ve decided Raleigh is not the place to find wines – none of these are in local stores either. Amazing.
    The Pinot Noir smells were described wonderfully – I was sniffy sniffing my Pinot Noir (not one listed) and could almost find some of the components, never found the pickle or celery until you told me to look for it.!! wow.

    Very poopy. poop barnyard nose. Those are funny. oh, and then raspberry. ha.

    The last one sounded yummy. Very good show, it’s nice to have you back in the element you shine best in.
    QOTD: Jets? Jets? is that a sports question? oh. sorry, don’t follow sports.

    my QOTD: will US move military into Georgia to stop Russian aggression? and what are they doing in Atlanta, anyways? :*)

    Great show! It sounds like you got a visit from the Poo Goblin! I’d take that over “feline character” I guess =)

    QOTD: 8-8 Think Farve will blow it. Very disappointed in the news, should have stayed retired.

    A change of heart from Gary V. Pre NFC Championship game you talked abot how Brett was a phony and over-rated. None of that now that he is a Jet.

    Still love Brett, but he held an organization hostage and acted like a diva.

    Go Pack Go! We will be just fine.

  • Thunder Cruise definitely sounds baller, Gary. If you have video of Mott going in for an unexpected dip, that would be YouTube gold! 🙂

  • Hey Gary:
    QOTD: Too bad you were away during most of the Favre to Jets stuff. Being a Buffalo fan I’m finding it hard to predict more than 9-7 (not enough to sneak into the playoffs). However, I totally understand your enthusiasm. This is the most press the Jets have seen in quite some time!

    If you owned the Jets, (I know you will some some day) would you have signed him?

  • I’m thinking the Jets are going to win the Stanley Cup (I don’t think there’s any doubt about that) against the Phoenix Sun. I just hope they don’t fall apart like they did last year at Wimbledon. That was just embarrassing – in 50 overs no less!

    10-6

    Nice to hear somebody else praise the 2004 Burgundy vintage. A great underated vinatage.
    P.S. Farve stinks!

    QOTD: Jets, uh… does it matter? Patriots continue their mastery, Favre or no Favre. aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Just a little fun ribbin’. I’m sure you all enjoyed last year’s Super bowl…

    Jets : 10-6, Favre misses last three games of the season; just a hunch.
    Pats coast into the playoffs.

    Looove Stinkor!
