QOTD: Run Lola Run – Awesome German flick. Kicks total ass!

Gary don’t ever wear that shirt again on camera. I got vertigo from that one. Nice tight show. How about The Big Labowski DUDE!

Recently rented When Harry Met Sally. Absolutely classic rom-com, and it is timeless

Why do some of you say “I hate oak?” HOW CAN YOU BE A WINE DRINKER AND HATE OAK?!?! Oak is absolutely necessary in making good wine, whether you’re and old world or new world fan. If you don’t like oak, don’t drink chardonnay!

The way you described both the Chilean and the New Zealand wines lead me to believe that I will like them, so they’re on my To-Buy-List. I’m going to pass on the third wine, because I’m not a CA-Chardoney fan anyway, indeed it’s a rare Chardoney of any kind that I care anything for.

QOTD: Tripletts of Bellville, Burn After Reading, Bandits, and Big Lebowski–you gotta see them All!

Back in action and in great form…but of course.
Taking it to the Toloso and going all viral on it.

You are definitely in a good place right now and it is shining through.

Some very interesting SBs coming from the Limari and Elqui valleys in the northern Chilean regions.

QOTD: Good wine movie we just watched again recently — The Secret Of Santa Vittoria

Welcome back!
QOTD: Forgetting Sarah Marshal and Underworld 2

Damn, alot of peole like Clint Eastwood. I think I’m gonna check out Gran Torino tonight. Big ups to whoever it was in the comments that reccomended “Play Misty For Me”–Awesome flick.

A double feature of Jonathan Nossiter’s “Mondovino” and Federico Fellini’s “8 1/2” made a real nice movie night a couple of weeks ago.

One Tempranillo from Abacela (Oregon), I cannot remember the vintage, really hit the spot one hot evening.

Being recently introduced to “The Thunder Show,” I will say you express a personality that would go over the top if not for your honest humility. You certainly have the charisma for continued success and I extend blessings to your family and friends. May your cups always be full.

Woah talk about disappointment, two wines down 🙁 … oh well, it can happen.

QOTD: I almost feel embarrassed by this but, a Carly Pope movie I had not heard about called, and I’m not kidding : “Young People Fucking”, It was OK, relationship fumbles basically.

Great to have you back and putting up shoes. I understand how the dear Misha (a phenomenally gorgeous baby) would be distracting from about everything else, including perhaps, water and breathing.

We watched “Burn After Reading” relatively recently and really enjoyed it. And the old Muppet Show DVDs are always good for throwback fun.

Feh. Putting up shows that is. Duh. Wine business, not footwear.

the forum is down … is this Sarah Cooley’s revenge?

guess we’ll have to go over to Kahuna’s forum … 🙂

Great episode, proving once again that you make the show and not the wines, though the Simone sounds like something to maybe buy a case of for the summer. Great to see you back in full force after a much deserved break, congratulations. I like the idea about the bracelet, at least for your situation, other hospital visits may be less memorable. I’m with you on the witch too, what is a witch supposed to smell like, let’s see if anyone has any insight into this.

QOTD – I’ve been playing with AppleTV a lot lately, and a lot of times I’ll find myself watching a dozen trailers, not being too impressed with anything or it just getting too late and I end up not watching anything, but recently, I’m going to go with Yes Man, and as a side note the book is even better and completely different

“Picnic Bird”!! haha!

Don’t you hate it when wines don’t meet your expectations?

QOTD: I am a HUGE movie watcher, so I am going to go with Akeelah and The Bee with Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne.

p.s.-sorry for slowing down on the comments. I’ll work on it, promise 😉

I was shocked to hear how little you thought of Tolosa’s Chardonnay. 75? As a previous comment indicated, that’s pretty harsh. Here are my notes:

QOTD: _Tell No One_ (Ne le dis à personne) See the original French version before Hollywood ruins it with a remake. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362225/

QOTD: Bringing up Baby

What does Mott do when you’re chillin’ at home with Misha? No links? No love? Poor Mott, all dressed up and nowhenre to link.

Good to be back to watching you, still have to watch the last episode with your special guest. 🙂 Glad you are enjoying fatherhood. My husband says it just gets better. We were gone for a couple of days and up until eleven last night playing with trains, up at 6 because my little guy just wanted to hang out with daddy after being gone. Good stuff. As for the wines, will have to check out the Sauvignon Blanc. Love grassy and herbaceous, especially under $10.
QOTD: No Country For Old Men, Scary good.

QOTD: Not a new release, but Master & Commander in high-def, baby. The story lacks a little focus, but it’s decent. Mainly, though, it is visually stunning. Great shot of the Galapagos, great sets and costumes, really fun stuff.

Meanwhile, I’ll have to seek out the Tolosa and see what I think. 75 v. 93 is about as big a difference as we’ve seen on the show.

GARY!!!! Trust me! Rent “In Bruges”, staring Colin Farrell. The most underated movie in a long time. I don’t think your little lady is old enough to watch it, but just get her some earmuffs. You will not be let down….

‘Rat Race” if you are in the mood for laughter-‘ Bride and Prejudice” if you ever wondered what Bollywood is all about, and finally the ultimate classic for really deep nonsense ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’.
On different note watch ‘Mondovine’ with the directors comments on.

August Rush. I know you like music and you’ve just had the baby. This one will tug at the heart strings and lift you up all at the same time. Plus, I bet Lizzie will dig it.

Speaking of music based movies, I also like Cadillac Records. Beyonce finally lives up to the hype.

QOTD: “Sweeney Todd,” because we recently saw the play. Gives another dimension to the color RED! EEEEUUUUWWWW!!

Speaking of “other dimensions,” Gary, bet your “poopy” bouquet has taken on a new one, too!
