  • Gary & Chris, UGH!!!!! Now I can’t even make a comment on an episode??????

  • Eric Laz

    Well done show I liked the enthusiam and I am now very interested in trying some Pinot Bianco.

    I think we must be around the same age as I remember that 1987 Topps set very well. Come to think of it I bet I still have some of those wax packs somewhere in my basement. No plans on chewing the gum though.

    QOTD: I am really into the Orbitz gum these days. Any flavor will do.

    BTW: I noticed the third tag was not the Pinot Bianco wine but rather the 2nd Chenin Blanc. Just thought you might like to know.

    QOTDs: Never had a Savenierres. Sounds interesting though.
    Trident sugar free wintergreen gum, but I have gum so very seldom it’s hard to remember if it’s not spearmint that I like best.
    No need to be ashamed of the Jets and make up stuff so that they’ll look good. I believe they won 9 games; that’s not so bad.

    GV,

    No gum for me but count me in on the
    Russiz Superiore Pinot Bianco.

    Happy New Your: To You, the WL Team, and the the Vaner Nation !!

    Good show. Hilarious end.
    QOTD : I’d have to say ’91 Bowman had good mouthfeel. Been dying to get my hands on some of that ’66 Fleer gum… I can hear my teeth breaking as we speak!

  • What a show! I just read an article about Savennieres and was thinking about going out to test a couple out. Crazy.

    Also, bringing back the card packs is always a great idea. I’m hoping that you have some of the early 90’s Score baseball cards around that have the Fat Head (cartoon) all-stars. I always used to buy those at the local 7-11. The other thing that I bought there…

    QOTD: Trident! Any mint flavor

  • CindyW

    sub-QOD: yes, many times. We’re big fans of Loire chenin blancs at our house, especially aged vouvrays. QOTD: don’t do gum much any more, but about a week ago I saw some old-time Razzles at the drugstore and just had to pick up some of the “first it’s candy then it’s gum.” 🙂

    I don’t think I’ve had any pinot bianco yet. Obviously, I need to try to find some.

  • American=Big Red
    Japanese=Lotte Ume (Plum)

    But in general I avoid excessive gum chewing because it throws my jaw out of whack.

  • Sorry Gary, but it was the 83 Topps set and in particular the update set with the Daryl Strawberry rookie that set the baseball card collecting world on fire.

    What’s the difference between Pinot Blanc and Pinot Bianco ? I though it was the same thing (Bianco being the term used in Italy)
