lines of the day – ‘There’s a little bit of stinkiness going on, like a pig farted on a farm’. and ‘a lot of guys are wearing eyeliner now, Mott’s been rocking it’

Chilean Cab bit of a boring category for me but GV entertaining as usual.

    Straight down the line complete agreement re: Chilean wines. I came away with respect for Gary’s wine sense. Now, if we could just lose the expression “sniffy sniff?”

    Good Show Guys !!! Just got the Concha y Toro …. can’t wait to try it!

    AotD: Halloween 1978 as Peter Criss – last time I wore make up (and liked it).

    PS – I like my ‘chicks’ to wear “Jerkins” facial cream …….

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, you finally got away from California and expanded our and your palate. Chile was nice Now, since you are in South America lets head south east a little and try some Brazilian wines.

    QOTD: Try to avoid wearing any, but sometimes when I wake up from a night out with my Rugby team, I may find myself nicely dolled up.

    GV – come up for the pats jets at foxboro – my treat.

    Nice show. The chilean wines definitely bring some great QPR these days. Can’t wait to see what the “cooler” thriving varietals can do there.
    I had a Montes Alpha Syrah the other day that was great. It needed about three hours to open up though as, of course, I was drinking it pretty young.
    QOTD: Terrible question. Worst one ever. Makeup is the worst invention ever. The pretty girls don’t need it and it makes the not so pretty ones into con artists. Enough makeup can fool anyone. Oops

    Well, I’m not just leaping to try Chilean wines after that episode. I’m sure I’ll eventually find one I like, but not yet.

    QOTD: Nobody should wear makeup. Well, maybe if they are performing in a play or on TV or something.

    QOTD: I fully admit to putting a little foundation/coverup/whatever on the rough areas of my face for my wedding day. Even the groom’s got to look good on that day, right!

  • Monique M

    Your “Oak Monster” reminds me of John Goodman’s monster character in Pixar’s Monster’s Inc.( at least the one scene when he tries to be scary.)

    Thanks for the Chilean coverage.

    QOTD: A bronzer and spf. Less is more. Over-makeup-ed people are a scary thing when it’s not Halloween.

    Good concept for a show and the results weren’t bad for that price point. You are obviously tougher on these wines than WA or WS usually is.

    QOTD: No way that Mott wears make-up – and neither do I

    I am totally afraid of the “Oak Monster”, so I’m not gonna try that one… but I’ll keep an eye out for some other Chilean selections.
    QOTD: I’m a mascara girl all the way, add some sunscreen and lip balm and I’m ready! Unless it’s too hot, then I’m only going with the sunscreen.

    QOTD: Don’t go out of the house without mascara & lip gloss minimum

    Thanks for your oak-comments; good show, as always. Btw, commenting on comments in last two shows: I love the Variety of shows.
