    Nice show! I really like many of the white wines from Campania. I will send out your birthday gift as soon as I receive one from you, as my birthday is today. Seriously, happy birthday (I’ll say it early as I’m sure I’ll forget) and thanks for another good show.

    Gary – sorry about your Jets. have a different proposal. buy the Bengals. we need a new owner. plus, as the owner you could change their name. like the Tiger-Jets. sounds odd I know but being ahead of the curve is always risky. think about about the mascot possibilities… green tiger stripes… a tiger w/ a Jetpack… how in the world could a tiger w/ a jetpack lose to a dolphin? just sayin. thinking that the Jets might need a bit more focused brand. jets are played out. but, tiger-jets?

    I agree, the Falanghina can be nice. They don’t carry too many in my local wine shop, but the one I had was memorable.

    QOTD: What am I getting you for your birthday? You’ve been away for a while, so maybe you’re worried that your book tour disappointed your regular viewership a bit. Well, for your birthday, I’m committing to watch every show this week (and maybe even comment) so you feel good getting back to your wine show. Cheers, Gary.

    Happy B-day!!
    As always, thanks for the insight, I’m always looking for something different to try… especially in the white wine category.

    QOTD: Sorry, I left your gift in my other jacket.

    Happy Birthday

    I get you three sacks on Sunday

    QOTD: Another Jets loss, and another, and another, until massive public disgust sets in and becomes so great that the price tag of the franchise drops to an insanely low bargain basement price and you come in, pick up the pieces, and lead them to winners of the SOO-PAH Bowl Baby in 2011!

    And, oh yeah: I am so with you on Falanghina. It rocks. Maybe the best bang for the buck of any varietal I have come across.

    Great to have a real show, again! Sorry I missed the super offer on CW. Looked great, but just couldn’t do it this time. Hope another blockbuster comes by soon.

    QOTD: I have an idea, but it will take some time to put it together. Stay tuned.

  • QOTD: I’ve giving you comments for your birthday. I had been a lurker for soooooo long, leaving only a comment here and there, that now I am officially not a lurker anymore.

    Those wines sound very interesting. It’s too bad they aren’t carried at many places.

    34 is NOT old, and neither is 44, all of which you’ll believe when you’re 54. Happy birthday, Gary, and welcome back. We’ve all missed you.

    What am I getting you for your birthday? A joke:

    A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers.

    The engineer finally said, “What’s with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!”

    The doctor answered, “I don’t know, but I’ve never seen such ineptitude!”

    “Here comes the greens keeper, let’s have a word with him,” said the pastor. “Hey, George. What’s with that group ahead of us? They’re pretty slow, aren’t they?”

    And George replied, “Oh, yes, that’s a group of blind fire fighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime.”

    The group was silent for a moment.

    The pastor was thoughtful. “That’s so sad. I think I’ll say a special prayer for them tonight.”

    The doctor too. “Nice idea. I’m going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there’s anything he can do for them.”

    The engineer said, “Why can’t these guys play at night?”

    QOTD: Selfishly I’m all about my birthday which is Sunday.

    I enjoyed a Falanghina after you talked about it earlier this year or maybe last year.
