line of the day – ‘there’s a million rules [in wine], and they’re all wrong’

Always difficult for a guest with very little knowledge of wine to come on and not make a fool of themselves, but this one did okay by being honest and not agreeing with everything gary said.

One comment from Gary made me laugh. he said he swirls all liquids in his mouth, ‘water, milk, everything’. I’ve found myself doing the same, and in fact, I can’t drink anything without swirling. Makes you appear a weirdo, but it’s fun

  • I like geeks and I like whites. Is this the Celadon from the book or a different vintage. I guess I’ll watch the episode and find out.

    I really enjoyed this episode. I can’t wait to try the Pecorino.
    QOTD-No, the Mets will do well but collapse at the end of the season.

  • QOTD: They better. Manuel did a decent job this year, but I’m not convinced he’s the long term answer.
