Sup Gary,
Nice throw down with the chardonnay action, my pallet definitely needs to expand in the world of white wines.

QOTD I will be flying out to Texas (Austin) form Toronto. Let?s see how the Texans throw it down. My wife and I will be visiting her best friend for Thanksgiving and for some black Friday business- Totally pumped!! First time experiencing America thanksgiving, I was thinking of bringing a couple of great bottles of vino (COUDOULET DE BEAUCASTEL 2007 and a TOMMASI AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO 2005)along with great company, and of course my game face 🙂

snnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnniffffffffy snnnnnnnnnnnnifffffffff………

Hey Gary, I loved the show today. I don’t know what it is, but there is something about this time of year that makes me crave the big, over the top Cali chards. I may check out the Dumol Isabel to enjoy over Christmas. QOTD: The only thing I am bringing to the Thanksgiving table are my elbows.

Heading to my sister-in-law’s house. I’m always in charge of the wines. They are not sign. wine drinkers, so I don’t go crazy with high end wines, but will usually bring one very good one for myself.
