  • Your shirt would have been more appropriate if it said over achiever!

    QOTD: A nice micro brew like Pyramid Curveball.

  • Chris Hansen

    Mott brings thunder to the Thunder show!

    QOTD: Freixenet cava, Cordon Negro is lovely for eleven bones. I served some with a cucumber and yogurt soup with dill and mint the other night. It went over well.

    As a life long Packers fan, you forgot the interception somewhere in that drive.

  • QOTD: Castello bubbly water from Portugal, to be honest. Try it. I’m right.

    Second place: Cave de Turckheim Cremant d’Alsace

    good times. maybe should have been in june rather than late aug, but that is OK.
    QOTD- this will have to fall under the champagne category. i don’t have a to of champagne experience, but i still measure everything against Bolongier NV. i had some last christmas and it did it for me. it had the richness that misses in a lot of mid level champers. after that, it would be a tie with jaqcueson 732 and larmandier – bernier vertus. both are different in style but the 732 has zip and the L-B has character. will seek out some italian bubbles

  • QOTD – there’s a local pub/microbrewery called The Pumphouse, they make their own beer in the pub…their brewed root beer is amazing! Tastes the way root beer should, tons of liquorish and sassafras! So, Pumphouse Root Beer, hands down!

    QOTD… Got to be A&W Rootbeer in a frozen mug. As a youngster living near Napa CA. we would travel by unairconditioned car down highway 99 to the LA area to visit grandparents several times a year Mom and Dad would stop several times in small towns like Pixley or Delano and we would all have A&W rootbeer
    So you are kinda liking the 2 min drill, check out some vintage Joe Montana classics he did it better than anyone.

    qotd. I had my 1st moscato d’asti this year, and must say I preferred it to any other bubbly i’ve had. It was batasiolo.

    I also like Fresca for taste, but hadn’t thought of it as a bubbly. For sparkly, used to get a Velletri Rose in Ontario many moons ago. Can’t find it in the B.C. listings.

    Great show G-Sauce!

    QOTD: Gruet Methode Champenoise, Rose. It’s N/V but every year it’s damn nice stuff. Course I’m a sucker for New Mexico wine.

    Interesting show. Never had the Moscato as I’m not really into sweet wines, but the Braida D’Asti looks like its worth a big try. (thanks Mott). QOTD- I’ve had just about every bubbly out there, and I keep coming back to Cooks Brute. Yeah, yeah, I know that sounds a tad bit stupid, but…………it is what it is.

    Orange flavored Moxie. I was devasted when our world market stopped carrying it, now I have to drink Orange Crush, which is not as good.

    I don’t know much about bubbles but I do enjoy Perrier mineral water especially after a hard night. I’ve had a Veuve Clicquot on New Years Eve for the first time. Good but expensive.

    Does Muscato have any relation to Muscadet?
