    QOTD: Absolute favorite? There are a lot of craft brews I really like, but if I was stuck having to drink only one beer for the rest of my life, it would be Guinness.

    QOTD: I don’t drink that many sparkling wines because I tend to get sick with them if they’re too sweet, or if I mix them with another wine, but I recently had a bottle of Duval-Leroy Brut that was just outstanding. My husband and I drank the entire bottle with an omlet, and I had no headache or other repercussions.

    The play-by-play is not for the entry level football fan. I’m glad you’re happy with the Jets though.

  • QOTD: It’s a straight-up tie between Belgian Framboise Lambic (the ONLY beer I like and I live in WISCONSIN, isn’t that sad?) and Izze Sparkling Clementine soda. Yummy.

  • Emily & James H.

    I am kind of curious as to why you slurp even carbonated beverages? First and foremost, I would think it would get all foamy in your mouth and therefore, diminish contact with your tongue. Secondly, doesn’t the CO2 in the drink do something of the same thing as pulling air over and through wine when you slurp it?

    QOTD: James-Dogfish 120 min IPA…that stuff is the shiznittle bip bap zap. Emily-Bollinger or Lucien Albrecht Cremant de Alsace Rose.

    Thanks for your show, we really enjoy watching.

  • Jonathan Pember

    My favorite bubbly drink would have to be Iron Horse Root Beer with Bawls energy drink in a close second.

    Also, when is Gary going to have a Root Beer show?

  • QOTD: actually, I’ve had a yummy Prosecco, several really nice Cavas, but the best is still Lindemans Raspberry Lambic. It just tastes like I imagined champagne tasted like when I was a little kid.

  • Great Show Gary, as usual.

    QOTD: I haven’t had too many sparkling wines but I have been on a mission to find some that I really like.

    However – at this point my favorite sparkling drink is Coke Zero. I just like it.

  • The Lurk Monster

    A&W Cream Soda That has been left in the back of the fridge for 2 months that has lost almost all of its carbonation. This makes it condense down to taste like butterscotch syrup with a bite.

  • Great show – had the Ceretto before and you hit it right on the head with your scoring, and I’m looking for the Braida to try that. QOTD – The best fizzy drink I’ve ever had was ’66 Dom Perignon, but my favourite fizz (that I can drink semi regularly) is Pol Roger NV with a few years bottle age on it. It becomes a stunning wine if you cellar it… or Irn Bru (Scotland’s best selling fizzy soft drink, even outsells Coke!) – http://www.irn-bru.co.uk
