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.

    I say Jets go 10-6, maybe 9-7. Jets will need the wide receivers if they hope to benefit from Farve.

    I love pinot comparisons. How can they be so different from each other?
    I must have been napping – I missed the QOTD, but I gather that it had something to do with the Jets. I’ll be interested to see what effect Favre has on the team. Is the coach a doofus for making him run a lap?

    Always good to rock the pinot.

    QOTD: The JETS will be a contender for a wild card spot with the addition of farve, plus the 2 linemen woody and faneca, and a monster in Jenkins plugging up the middle. Not totally sold on the D, but the offense should be very well balanced and a force. With that said you will exit the playoffs early when mr interception throws yet another big pick to end his teams season.
    JETS 10-6 and my fish 5-11 (very easy schedule this year with the NFC west calling)

    Good show on Pinots. I find them tempermental; still looking for a few that i like; dislike more than like.
    QOTD: 11-5, but you should had asked the date when the Packers coach will be lynched by the fans after a bad start.

  • So CA does make some decent wine! You can be so down on them…its nice to know that there are some good wines that I can actually find. Great show.

  • 6-10. Farve will singlehandedly be responsible for one of those W’s.

    Gary,

    Thanks for mentioning the post about Becky. I really appreciate it. Becky has been overwhelmed with the comments of support & encouragement. She says it’s amazing to think people are out there taking the time to do this.

    I keep telling her it’s the power of the community.

    First, California is not a Country. Great to have you back and this was a nice tasteoff of wines I’ve never had. Do you remember last season tasting the cabernet made by Sojourn Cellars and you did a whole show on it? I would like your take on their Pinot Noirs in a future episode.

    Brett can handle the spotlight and the pressure and will win over the fans. You have good receivers for him to use his rifle as in a shooting gallery. Ping! Ping! Touchdown! His challenge will be to learn to read new defenses and play the Pats twice a year. It’s going to be interesting to watch his progress. We play you in the preseason and I can’t wait to see Brett in Green and White instead of Cheddar. 10-6 sounds about right.

    I think 8-8 is realistic…….i do look for the Bills to be the surprise team of the year.

    QOTD: Without looking at their schedule, I will go with 10-6. Still gotta hope for a wildcard spot though.

  • Good show. Why is it I am always shocked when CA brings the thunder. I mean this is a state that has consistently done some great things in wine, why should I be shocked. In all fairness though, ’06 was a MUCH weaker vintage in Oregon, than ’04 in FR or ’05 in CA. So, while it’s all still wine on the table, it seems important to make that distinction.
    Still — LOVIN it!

    What were the three countries, Oregon, Cali and France? QOTD…What was that? Gary’s doing 27 things at once now instead of 14. I’m glad he has the stamina becuase I sure don’t.

    GV: Nice show… I find some Pinots lack the structure that I look for in a wine but certainly new “dry red” drinkers out there will be rolling hard!

    QOTD: 10 – 6
