I’ve had that shiraz, maybe a diff vintage but i remember that funk and the tar, along with what seemed like a tootsie roll that was dropped in the dirt

    QOTD: all I can say is Awesome Dude!!!

  • QOTD: That’s really awesome you are in India. I just finished reading The World is Flat and have a whole new respect for them. As far as the Jets go though, I suppose I will let you have your little victory. 😉

    Happy for you that you’re in India even happier for my husband about Favre. He’s a die-hard Jets fan here is Eagles land.

    Great show GeeVee This was when you were in India a couple weeks ago though right?

    QOTD: I was damn interested to hear about Indian wine. I’m still working on getting you some New Mexico wine, because I love to hear about strange and wild wines coming from other places. As far as Favre? Well at least my Cowboys don’t have to play against him in the season now. Course, we’re going to beat your ass in the superbowl.

    Seriously, if the Jets and the Cowboys end up in the superbowl, come to New Mexico, we’ll have a superbowl party to end all superbowl parties, I’ll make ya the best damn enchiladas in the world.

    Stoked that you could go to India and drink some of her wines. I tried the Reveilo Chenin Blanc a couple of weeks ago and although I wasn’t super impressed I could taste the potential of the country. I’m more excited to see what comes out of India in the next say 5 to 7 years.

    About Favre, I’m excited but I’m just wondering if he can run like he used to. Wheelchairs won’t roll that fast on turf. Also, if he takes too many time outs to change his Depends it might hurt the team.

    Gary! It was equally fun watching this show on-line as it was watching it live in Mumbai 🙂 Looking forward to our next India trip!

    BTW: Did you tell your audience that your main reason for India trip was to pray to the Elephant God and secure Brett Favre!

    GO JETS!

    QOTD – love to see you in India. An amazing and beautiful country of shocking contrasts. Don’t really see Favre doing a whole lot for you though, buddy.

  • Wow, India. You’re really seeing the world. Is that because of WL, WLTV or the TC?

    QotD: Always very excited when you are in the actual places the wines come from – although a hotel in Mumbai does not directly count (or so I hope 😉 ). Keep it real!

  • Bill

    Another excellent show. I must admit, though, I like it more when you slam a wine, e.g. the Sula Dindori, than when you praise a wine, e.g the d’Ori. An evocation of the 2 Buck Vaynerchuk classic ep. 212, I guess.

    QUOD: Happy about both. May actually get me back into pro-football.

  • I spent some time in Mumbai (or Bombay, depending on how stubborn the person you ask 🙂 and it’s an unbelievable country. For me, total culture shock, and minus my own distaste for curry, a totally fascinating country.

    As for the Jets… meh. E-A-G-L-E-S baby! See ya Sunday!

  • I love the global shows being the travel aficionado I’d like to become.

    QOTD: I am jealous though very happy for you being in India. The Indians I have met are very friendly and an intelligent society.

    Good show

    Good to see that despite the distance, you are still close to home and to what you care so much about (i.e. wine and the vayniacs). I’m sure all your fans are both envious and thankful at the same time. Hope India treated you well. Enjoy your séjour in the East. Looking forward to your return!
