  • QOTD: Juno. No question about it. I hadn’t seen it and it was so funny. When she told the dude, “Get a whiff of those sparklin’ top notes,” I almost peed myself.

  • Paryb

    Nice show man, I said the EXACT same thing when I had the NOBILO a couple weeks ago, I said quote “This wine is like a charicature of itself” Seriously, it’s like someone took New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc concentrate and mixed it thick!

    QOTD: Best flick lately? Watched Forrest Gump the other day for about the millionth time…that movie never gets old.

  • John Farrin

    Yeah, good to have you back.

  • Sacha

    Would have tried the chardonnay first. Like especially austrian Sauvignon Blanc of Umathum with the “vino-lok” glass closure.

    QOTD: Fried green tomatoes.

    Good show, Gary & congrats to Misha Ava, Lizzie and finally you!

    Nice to have you back in the office. I’m curious if the Nobilo winery is owed by Frank Nobilo the golfer? Congrats again on the new edition to the family. How about an under $20 Reisling episode in the near future? Thanks.

    QOTD – We just watched Benjamin Button. Very long but pretty good.

  • Dr T in NC

    Nice to see you back. Sorry I can’t help on the QofD!

  • Pittsburgh Alex

    Thats going to be a long time before that hospital wrist band falls off.

    QOTD: I don’t know if Lizzie would be down with this, but the Seven Samurai was best movie I watched in the last eight weeks.

    Don’t blame yourself- you are most likely right on going against Wine Enthusiast. It seems to me that the Enthusiast ratings have been suspect recently. Not sure what going on there, maybe they switched over to 125 point scale and didn’t bother to inform anyone.

    QOTD: City of Industry, not supeterrific happy hour, but held my interest, and I am a sucker for a hiest movies.

    QOTD: If nothing else… please rent Season 1 of The Wire (warning R rated). It was the best show ever that few ever saw. This show brings the Thunder and will rock your world. Oh yes, you will be using quotes from the show. It is that smart and well written.
