    If I may piggyback on DF’s comment above, another Trader Joe’s show could be interesting. I’d love to get someone else’s take on the Zarafa Pinotage, for example, since it smells?and tastes?to me exactly like an ashtray that hasn’t been emptied for a while. Am I nuts? (Two bottles, same unpleasant sensory experience; my bet is no, but I’ve been wrong before.)

    QOTD: After your rhyme, a few lines from Doctor Seuss would be appropriate.

    Intersting. As a New Yorker, the thought of supermarket wine never crosses my mind.

    QOTD: Say Hey, (Willie Mays) for the close of the regular baseball season. The majority of the people that read this do not know who Willie Mays even is. It should say, “I need sleep”. or, Got Cheese?(Gourmet Library)

    Gary, loved the supermarket episode. Thanks for tasting wines that I can afford.
    I’m a Louisiana boy and Saints fan and would love to place a friendly wager. I got some crawfish, boudin and cracklins that say the Saints crush it. Whatcha say?

    Haha, I can just imagine Mott damn near falling off of his chair for the first 85pt wine in who knows how many shows.

    You should do a blind tasting again soon.

    QOTD: It would say, Big Announcement … WLTV Tour 2009 (or 10 since it’s getting l8 in the year) … Gary and Mott to come to every major city in the US and they are prepared to nerd it up with the Vaynernation.

    Then from there you could spin it off to other countries …
