    Hey Gary,

    Love the more accessible/budget conscience wines that the majority of us can find in our local markets that you have been tasting.

    QOTD: You say Omaha, I say Omaha Poker!

    QOTD:Corn (hey how about that bourbon show?)

    Dear Gary,
    I have been a long time fan of WLTV (since episode 300ish) and I agree with the other commenters that the show was way cooler around that era because you had less guests and you didn’t care what some nit wit commenter said about you being too loud, or that your a drunk russian, or that you promote your book too much. Who cares what those people think!
    After observing the show lately I think you have turned down the volume a BIT. I, like most WLTV followers want you to turn UP the volume and make no comprimises. Lets get back to that natural energenic Gary that appears to be coked out but isn’t. After all if we didn’t like your personality or character we wouldn’t have watched for so long.
    Sincerely Marshall

    QOTD: I say Cornhuskers. I know that that U of Nebraska is in Lincoln but “Cornhuskers” was the first thing that I thought of when I heard Omaha. It is what it is.

    I have that malbec in my “cellar” with other malbecs. I haven’t had it yet but it’s popular and I felt like checking it out.

    QOTD – Two things:

    1) The Counting Crows song. “Omaha, somewhere in the middle of America…”

    2) My college roommate had a teddy bear named Omaha. “Omaha, somewhere in the middle of Larry’s bed”

  • Catching up on episodes hence the late reaction….but Naia kicks ass & in my book runs circles around all the Ruedas I’ve tasted. Elegance, freshness, minerality and charm…not 88 points. Must’ve been the fact that it was colder than what you’re used to. Give it another shot when you get the chance, your friend, Paul
