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.

    Always knew most of the country thinks of California as being another country. This confirms it.

    Don’t forget that Farve is the all time leading interception leader, or as some say, a turnover machine. He’ll lose as many as he’ll win for you with his reckless throws.

  • QOTD: Don’t make me answer this question Gary, you know where my allegiance lies…but in all seriousness, I feel the Jets have what it takes to be a 10-6 team, and it may be even enough to claim the AFC wild card others in the North or South falter. Unfortunately, they must eventually face the steamroller that is the New England Patriots!!!

    Great show as usual Gary! You’re bringing straight THUNDER as always!

  • Great, great episode. I have a Sta. Rita Hills Pinot in my cellar, and it’s new, a Rusack. In fact, it’s the one listed in Gary’s Book. So I’m excited. But better than that, I’m excited that my beautiful wife Concepcion and this humble fellow Vayniac are going on the cruise!!

    I’m a lifetime Tampa Bay fan, and your little dig on the Bucs did not go unnoticed. It’s a good thing your Jets are not playing the Bucs this year because, if they were, Mr. Farve would get his booty flattened so deep into the turf you couldn’t scraped him up with a Zamboni. 😉

    QOTD: 3 – 13

    The Jets will be lucky to be 4-12. They will suck as usual.

    Great wines. Stick with what you know.

    Wow, Gary…2 poopy wines in a row! Maybe instead of a napkin, you should get some baby powder scented wet wipes on the table.

    Stinkor should come out of the box and get his own little sniffy sniff wristband.

    When you find a wine that smells like boat exhaust…I’m all in for that!

  • Oakmon’s BF

    Bret will need to be more cautious with less familiar receivers so I expect the interceptions to be down. Heâ??ll also want to prove himself with a new team so I expect him to have a good year. Theyâ??ll barely make the playoffs with 10 or 11 wins which is a big improvement. Itâ??s not a bad long term move. Starting for a 4-12 team isnâ??t the environment to develop a young quarterback for the future. Itâ??s better to have a veteran, who isnâ??t going to be around for a lot of years, take the heat while the young guys develop.
    Iâ??m looking forward to hear more about India.
    Wow, I havenâ??t had a cinnamon stick since I was a child. Iâ??ll need to get a hold of some.
    Iâ??ve been away and am catching up on episodes.

    GV – love the Pinots! Haven’t had any of those.

    QOTD – I am going to let Brett get you to 5-11 in 2008. He will be instrumental in those victories, but not enough talent to get you above .500.

    Gary, you never cease to amaze me!

    Tallahasse is as close to Tampa or even better Miami as it is to Charlotte! Thank you!

    And Montepulciano is in Tuscany. They produce Sangiovese wines. Not to be confused with the Montepulciano grape from Abruzzo. I’m sure you know all this but it’s always fun when you get ahead of yourself!
