    I always love the episodes with your father, he is quite the individual. It would be fun to ride the range and listen to his stories. You may quite the source for the history of wine in that region.

    QOTD – Sorry, do not follow follow football but will say that when I see that your Jet’s have won it does bring a smile to my face, knowing that you are happy.

    Sasha is the best!!!!! Grace and I were in Napa at harvest time in 2007 and you could tell that it was a good year. The vineyard managers and winemakers were all excited. No surprises and the ability to plan their picking – priceless!

    Gary — BRAYLON EDWARDS. What are YOUR thoughts?

    These shows with your Dad are the absolute best!!! Sasha rules. My favorite part was when he was listing the things that would be delicious with the Caymus. Awesome.

    QOTD: Jets 24 – Dolphins 10.

  • Gary,

    Your old-man is gold. He just adds great value to the show…He is a gem!!

    The Caymus looked mouth-watering and the Plumpjack looked pretty good also – It seems these two vino’s would do pretty well in few years time.

  • Game prediction: After his third drop, Braylon Edwards calls Sanchez a little B—h for not putting the ball in the perfect spot. He gets ejected for fighting his own team but is happy because the game is in Miami and he really just wants to get to the clubs as soon as possible anyway.

    Miami 17-10
