Great show Gary! Need to get some of the Braida!

QOTD: Most definitely have to go back to my childhood with this one. Specifically, the A&W rootbeer, draft version, bought in the restaurant poured directly into the icy cold glass mugs! Second most favorite would be the same rootbeer poured directly into the take-home containers (I can’t remember the shape or what they were made of . . . ) so we could enjoy them with our own glass mugs that we stored in the home freezer for just that reason!

QOTD: A Guinness poured correctly fresh off the tap.

My very favorite is champagne – Bollinger is the best I’ve tried.
I’ve noticed the price for Bollinger has increased alot more than any other champagne in the last few years. Why is that?

QOTD: I had some Nicholas Feuillete house blend a few years back (brown bottle, unsmooth glass – sorta like diamonds or scales pattern) that knocked my socks off.

QOTD: Hands down its a Root Beer float with Stewarts root beer……..

Gary, first things first, you’re the man. Secondly, do you ever think you could bring Bob Parker himself on your show to taste some thunder?

Damn you, Damn you, Damn you! Every time I think I’m out, you pull me back in. I have to try the Braida.

QOTD: When I was a kid there was Mac’s strawberry soda in southern Illinois that was the first thing we drank when visiting our grandmother.

Hey, Gary! Love the episode! QOTD: Champagne: Dom, 1995. One of the BIG reasons for this one was location, location, location! :} It was Summer, ’04, we were in Barcelona, and drinking this out of the bottle…

Mixing all the sodas from the fountain at a 7-11 to make the most delicious bubbly big gulp of all time.

I’ve never had a Moscato d’Asti, but I’m looking forward to.
QOTD- Coke, from the can not a plastic bottle.

QOTD: Krug Rose Champagne,#2 would be Oriel Prosecco, #3 7-Up

Good show, Gary! I think your palate might be changing a bit…cool!

QOTD: The sparkling ice wine that Inniskillin does in Canada. It’s got that predictable honey sweetness but then it totally surprises your mouth with the bubbles. It’s awesome!

My favorite non-alcoholic sparkling drink would have to be Vernors which is FAR superior to other ginger ales…unfortunately, it’s not available everywhere! 🙁

Outstanding show…thoroughly enjoyed the play by play. John Madden may be out of a job next year.

Great show. I’m going to try that first one.

QOTD: Now this is non-alc, but I really enjoy a Polish mineral water called Naleczowianka.

Ahhhh, I love the Astis and am surprised myself you have never done a show on them. I thought you had. Hmmm. Anyway, I’ll try the “G” moscato to see if it compares to the Chiarelo or Bigaro that I love so much.

QOTD: I’ll go with the ’96 Pommery Apenage Champagne. I took a tour of their caves and fell in love with the chateau and their champagnes.

QOTD – I like most sparkling wine drinks and can’t pick just one. Tonight I had a good Cava made of pinot that was very nice tasting and had a good pinot color. Why pick one when there are so many to enjoy?

I have not had a Moscato D’Asti yet, but will very soon.

QOTD: I love our company’s (Wine Shop at Home’s) exclusive Grand Cadeau Rose Cava right now, the white Cava is pretty good too.

I am not a fan of sparkling wine. My favorite all time carbonated drink would probably be Barqs Root Beer.

A&W Rootbeer with a slice of lime equals crazy delicious!

QOTD: Sparkling or anything with bubbles? Mine would be Lagunitas Maximus, an IPA from Cali that I adore, followed by the Optimator from Spaten.

QotD: My wife’s — Mumm Cuvee M. Mine — Bundaberg Ginger Beer.

My Favourite would have to be My Own Fizzy Lifting Drinks.

That’s easy: Dogfish Head 120 minute IPA. Absolute sex in the glass.
