    Thanks for airing and taping this one. I liked that the crowd was so well behaved, not intrusive and obnoxious like so many (all, it seems) other crowds have been, especially San Diego. Thanks, Omaha people, and thanks, Gary and Chris.

    You’re in Omaha, where was the guest apparance by Jarvis REDWINE? OK at least you tasted half red and half white, you should hae been wearing a black shirt.
    Gary, you are so right on the whites, had a Picpoul de Pinet last night that was really nice when I got back from a quick errand before dinner.

    QOTD: steaks, but really Nebraska football

  • The lost episode, how intriguing…… Were you using a better camera? It looked really good, and I’m not just talking about the girl.

    KAHUNA, nicely done, and so speedy, BRAVO!

    QOTD: Mutual of Omaha insurance. Those commercials ran on every break during The Wild Kingdom when I was a kid. The song has been stuck in my head for 30 years.

  • In.Vino.Veritas

    I live in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am pissed I missed you while you were here in Nebraska. I blame Mot for not linking it up.

    At any rate, you are right: Nebraskans serve whites too dam cold. And as east-coast guy, who all of his great-grandparents came from Spain, thank you for introducing Latin wines to Nebraska. Your cojones are in the right place.

    When I think of Omaha I think of a neighborly purgatory.
