QOTD: I’m feeling something just not sure if
I am excited or scared shitless.

Just hope it’s not
“Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss”

Nice guest, great show. Well-made gifts, Happy Birthday Gary. I was correct in predicting the game would be a nail-biter, but not in the last few minutes. Do not like #4 at all. Not even much of a football fan, but when it came down to watching the morbid and depressing 11 o’clock news, I chose the game. Glad the final outcome was a win for your sake.

QOTD: No, the election was a disappointment. That’s all I have to say on that.

Great show.

Your Birthday can’t be that bad with that Jets WIN!

QOTD – Very Excited about the new direction of this country. We needed it so bad.

Happy Birthday, Gary! All the best for you and your family.
As a Brazilian I can’t answer the question, but as a human being I wish all the best for the Americans and for the rest of the World.

Have fun because “life is too short to drink bad wine”.

São Paulo, Brazil.

QOTD: Yes, but am not expecting miracles.

Comment: The video quality of WLTV is very good but the audio s@©ks!!! One minute (actually the first 30 seconds – including Gary’s intro) I have to turn down the volume and then I can barely him. Perhaps better mikes and/or better placement of the mikes?

Regardless, great shows.

gary you must be having the most ridiculous week ever: JETS WIN (great game), anniversary, and birthday! congrats.

Very good episode and you will really enjoy the knit stuff. I always did when my mom made stuff for me. I am quite excited about the prospects for an Obama presidency but that is all of the politics I’ll say. Congratulations on what turns out to be a great day for you GV with the Jets now leading their division.

Have you ever tried Merry Edwards Sauvignon Blanc. It is a tad expensive but the taste and nose is great.

QOTD: I am thinking of moving to Canada.

Great show! My wife just go into knitting this weekend so it is really weird that you would do a show with a guest from the knitting world.

Wow. What a game last night! Go Jets!

Gary, what happened to “..whether they like it or not!”?

SB is my favorite white wine.

Jim

QOTD: Hopeful

I think I’m becoming a Jets fan. My son’s fantasy football team has Jets players.

I can’t believe you chose Simi as the California representative wine. No wonder you are biased against California Sauvignon Blanc! Popularity does not equate to quality.

For an old-world Sancerre-style SB, try the Dry Creek Fume Blanc. At the $10 price point, try the Kenwood, Husch, or Geyser Peak. At under $15, try the Honig, Voss, Handley, Chateau St Jean “La Petite Etoile”, Beringer Alluvium, and a slew of others. For under $20, the Navarro, Provenance and Turnbull are outstanding. There is plenty of great California Sauvignon Blanc to be found out there.

Happy Birthday Gary! Great job with the show, making your guest feel welcome while keeping the proceedings moving at a good pace. You just keep getting better.

Nice show guys.

QOTD: I think we are now making steps in the right direction…we needed positive change that’s for sure.

QOTD= Yeah!! finally after eight years of fear based politics we can get back to what America is really all about. Honesty, hope and maybe even a little peace

Gary, Fruitness?????????????????????? Is that a word????? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

QOTD::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::I am trying to stay away from this ‘third rail’ and instead trying to stay focused on wine and THE JETS!!!!!!!!

QOTD…yes I am

QOTD: EXTREMELY EXCITED!

QOTD—— He has a very difficult job ahead……. America has alot of tough times in the future. Change is good but what change.

Enjoyable show…I wanna knit now 🙂

I, myself am also enjoying a great white. It is a Jo Pithou, Chenin Blanc, from the Loire. Very aromatic, yet crisp and mineral. Awesome.

QOTD: Who could’t be! Hell! I’m more thrilled about what’s going on to the south than what is happening here in Canada!

Coolio show, Gary! Cat was a great guest, and you totally rock the scarf and the hat. Perfect Jets color, too. Congrats on the HUGE Jets victory (honestly… not a massive Jets fan, but I love Favre and I HATE the Patsies! Mega congrats on the anniversary and HAPPY FREAKIN’ BIRTHDAY!!

QOTD…. hmmmm how do I say this nicely? HELL NO I AM NOT STOKED!!! Actually, I am terrified. When terrorists and dictators both supported and immediately congratulated Obama on his victory, followed by announcements that Putin is placing missles on the Polish border (after Obama declared he will scrap our missle defense shield in Poland to protect our NATO allies), Ahmadinejad tells Obama to stay the hell out of the Middle East and follows that up with medium range missle tests after proclaiming that he wants to erase Israel from the map, Putin and Medvedev announce that they are working on changing the Russian “constitution” to allow 2 consecutive 6 year terms and that Medvedev is willing to resign so that Putin can once again be President of Russia (his dream is to be the “new” Czar and once again expand the Russian Empire), I get nervous… When our economy is already weak and Obama promises to raise taxes, which will stifle new business development, raise capital gains taxes and corporate taxes, which will stifle new businesses and jobs and force some companies overseas, bring back the “death tax”, which hurts farms and small businesses, and to create a new massive socialist welfare state… er…. excuse me…. “redistribute the wealth”… I am scared. He has promised to gut our national defense, which eliminates the deterrence that the US has against aggression around the world, emboldens our enemies, and sends the message to dictators and terrorists around the world that they can now do whatever the heck they want to, and the US won’t do anything about it. So, NO… I am NOT stoked! I am afraid for our country. I am afraid for Americans because if he leads us down this path, there is no place for us to go. There are no more “America’s” out there. There are no more undiscovered lands for us to run to. This is it. Pray for our nation, people! ps… No, I am not a McCain fan, either… but he had the potential to be better than what we got. Damn… I need a drink! Got zin?

Cat – super job. Great to have you on the show.

Fun, fun show on G-Man’s birthday with a very nice lady.

Talking about SBs, I had a great one with some oysters this past weekend in Annapolis, MD called Sileni from NZ. Very nice stuff that I need to find.

QOTD: Ummm, no. I concur with the response from TiminSpokane except I may move to Australia or NZ instead of Canada. Too cold up there.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY!!!!

Cheers!

I can’t believe you do not have a beautiful tating room with candles and nice glassware for your show, at least when you have a guest on.
Smell it first.

QOTD- No. I’m sure it’s all very cool but… No. Couldn’t care less. ; )
Nice show though!

Minervois tonight for me. Nice!

Fun guest- thanks, Cat! Now to check out your blog.

QOTD: Guardedly hopeful. It does require that we all get up off our butts and work with our elected representatives; both speaking out and listening carefully (not just to ads and mainstream media…). For ideas about concrete actions to help our country that may even involve some sacrifice(!) on our parts, ask your (or someone else’s) grandparents/great-grandparents how it’s done.

Timinspokane, I am terrified you’re going to end up in an ICU with one of my west coast colleagues taking care of you! Turn off your TV and start getting a minimum of 7 hours sleep each night! (You remind me of my brother- I worry about him, too.)
