90/100

line of the day – ‘did you really think I missed those eyes you made at the camera just then, I OWN this space.’

Good laid back episode, glad the guest said ‘no’ a couple of times and stuck to his guns when asked if he detected a particular flavour. Most guests cave in immediately and say yes, even though you know they haven’t tasted it. As GV says, there is no right and wrong when it comes to one’s own palate.

    QOTD: I’ll give you a hint Gary. With Tim F and his “forum” cadre, “Et tu Brute?” 🙂 If this was March 15th I’d have called the cops already.

    Saved by the Bell?

    A.C. Slater = The A.C. stands for Albert Clifford. Bonus points if you remember that in the College Years A.C. found out that his dad changed their last name from Sanchez to Slater when he entered the military. Super bonus if you can name Slater’s pet chameleon… Artie!

    QOTD: It always ends with Saved By the Bell Trivia.

    By the way you were describing the second wine, I was expecting higher than 91. Great episode!

    Thanks for the wine content. I was thiiiiiisssss close to grabbing some of that CdP and glad I did not. Really getting into Cali. Syrah.

    Tim F. has changed!!!!!!!!!

    QOTD: Replaced by a handpicked Ian D. w/occaisional appearances by G. WL will not give up the show. GV is a businessman and knows what turns the wheel. You turn off WLTV, you turn off the money machine.

    Loved the episode!
    I always enjoy watching someone shake the foundation of the
    system you have nearly every episode.
    Great guy though.
    And I have noticed you downing the wine here and there.
    Stick with your system.
