    Great show, guest with decent wine instincts, nice job! So have you taken up knitting?

    QOTD- Hell no! Enough politics, now back to the vino!

    Loved the non-industry guest! Great to hear her just express it in her own words.
    Also, wowed me on the #s involved in Knitting. Can’t believe it. So weird to think of all the niche ways people make money and the way people meet other people. Really cool.
    And John H’s story about the group of Knitters staying up the latest – damn funny. Who knew?!

  • Ray Barnes

    This was a good show too, charming guest..and in my view better than the one who appeared just prior to the Jancis show. Very fair, unexaggerated commentaries.

    QOTD – The guest asked if the viewer is psyched by what is happening in the USA since the election. That is NOT a political question. If she had asked if the viewer was psyched by what is happening as a result of the election, that is a whole different kettle of fish. As a Canadian I cannot answer the question.

    Good episode, enjoyed it even though I am not a Sav. Blanc enthusiast.

    QOTD – No. I prefer wine over Kool-Aid.

  • i really liked the guest today. I knit so it was kind of shocking (in a good way) to have someone not in the wine world as a guest. Great show. happy birthday and anniversary and Jets victory! WHAT a day!

    The Sauvignon Blancs I have tried, to date, have all been disappointing. They don’t bring the thunder like the Rieslings do. Must be the acid you speak of.

    QOTD: “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.”

    nice guest!!

    QOTD. yes, even in japan we are totally psyched about obama!! good onya yanks. you finally found (and voted for!) a really good one. and a positive spin on the abject failure & climate criminal that precedes obama is that his pathetic (criminal might be more accurate) performance made the change to obama possible.
    back to the positive. i think really great things & a positive future await all of us with president obama.

    Happy Birthday Gary! Have a great day!!

  • Happy Birthday Gary! Have a great day!!

  • QOTD: Before the election I was like “yeah Obama’s cool but does the president really have enough power to fix things? Can anyone really fix the mess we are in?” And now that he’s won, I’m not a skeptic anymore. Seeing that winning this election was a feat to begin with, I can see that he will bring the Thunder come January.

    And I’m just glad I can stop having nightmares about a Palin administration.

    Congrats on the win during your wedding aniversary. Happy Birthday.
    QOTD: psyched that the color of a person skin doesn’t matter anymore, but can’t say that I think Obama will do half of what he said.

    qotd: not psyched, but I am very relieved.
    another great show with a great guest. thanks, Gary. happy anniversary and happy birthday. I live in Maine, but since I couldn’t care less about football, I hope the Jets win so you can be happy while celebrating these two occasions. By the way, I just tried a 1968 Bual Madeira (I forget the producer) that was very good and very interesting. Just thought I’d mention it in case you thought you should do a Madeira show.

    GV: Big up to the Jets and GV for supporting them through thick and thin!

    QOTD: I really liked this guest until she said she was stoked? STOKED? REALLY? If you are stoked to have a president who is more into talking about “look at me I’m a black man who won President..oh Hi Oprah!” ; If you are intested in watching more Miss Ebony United States or Black American Idol; If you are more intested in raising the minimum wage to $9.00/hr..(WHAT IS HE THINKING?) or eliminating taxes to anyone over the age of 55 (HELLO BABY BOOMERS… Please Give me your vote)… yeah you probably are stoked! For the rest of the tax paying, social secruity screwed, stock market slammed, housing market flushed, vino drinking nation.. pull out some Mad Dog and raise your glass to a hard one up the ass… at least for the next 4 years…

    Maybe we should look at the bright side… maybe can he pass a new law allowing the shipping of Colt 45 across state lines…

    Great show Gary and Cat. Gary, I’ve gotta say you did an awesome job with the spit buckets, the bottles, everything we talked about. You kept the show on track, but the guest got her time as well. Freaking Sweet! Awesome Jets win last night too!

    QOTD: I’m not stoked, but I’ve decided that no matter how bad the stock market, and loan market get, I’m going to keep a positive attitutde, because there is something to be done out there.
