90/100

line of the day -‘This is the first bee on Winelibrary TV’

Good solid guest and good solid show but the highlight for me (as a Jets fan) is the opening 5 minutes which is all about the Sanchez trade in the draft (probably boring as hell for non-Jets/nfl fans…but that’s tough)

  • Yo…..now you know I’m retired brother. I think the reason I am retired is because A: I am tired of doing what I did for so many years, and B: I can be.

    But you are right. BORING !!! I really wish I could do something with wine and then someday I will not be bored anymore…. but I don’t know what to do. Can you help me Homey? Do you know any god winery’s I can buy? AMybe you want to buy one with me??

    Also, I don’t know how to answer the question. I think I’m jaded by being retired so long. I need to get back in the game.

    Any suggestions???

    I must admit, the first comment was really just to see where I ranked because I have never been in top 10 before, and it was really exciting! So now that I’ve actually watched the episode, I feel compelled to make some comments.

    Amen to Tim on the whole grass fed beef thing, how serendipitous that I see it on my favorite internet wine show. I want to start a small scale Texas free range grass fed beef operation. So Tim, if you want to do some angel investing, I surely wouldn’t mind 🙂

    QOTD: I love it! I can’t really articulate what I want to say about this topic without writing a full on novel, so I will condense it into some cliches that I live by…every day is a gift, so work hard and play hard, enjoy it to the fullest, be thankful for what you have, not resentful of what you don’t have, and count your blessings.

    QOTD: When I “retire” it will be a shift back to painting.

    One malbec I really enjoyed was a Lindaflor Malbec. Yummy.

    Martika, a Bee, Malbec and a great guest. Another entertaining show GV. So really what kind of discount do you give the ESPN draft cameramen/woman at the store for being on TV so much during the Draft?

    QOTD : i never want to retire.

    Sanchez was the best pick for my Phins during the draft ;), keep on bringing on quarterbacks that are overated it only helps us out.

    QOTD: If I never could retire, I would change my life by (1) sticking with the French company and get insane amounts of vacation time and (2) taking my 401k money and putting it to either vacations now, or increase the frequency of my trips to WL. Your staff is dangerously knowledgeable! 🙂

  • QOTD: Retirement is so far away, I haven’t even thought about it. So as of right now, nothing would change.

    I’ve rolled the dice on $10-$15 malbecs several times and found that I’d bought swill. I heard that some of the new Argentine Malbec producers are bad, I don?t know. Anyway, Argentine malbecs are supposed to be for Merlot and Shiraz drinkers looking for adventure on a budget, so let’s hope that’s not the case.
