Great wines, crazy hat and an inadvertently blurted out swear word (handily pointed out by Mott)

  • I love Barbaresco, also a huge Brunello fan.

    Superbowl: Indianapolis vs Eagles; Eagles win 27-24

    (I’ve been wrong all year with my predictions, so hopefully I’m wrong again)

    I ordered some Sangiovese from Gary on Tuesday. I have decided that January will strictly be Italian. Gary, I have a Barbaresco in my cart now. Tell Cindy to help me add another before I hit submit.

    Hi Gary, I couldn’t agree more. My wife and I just popped a Di Gresy Gaiun Martinega Barbaresco from the fabulous vintage of 2000 and fell in love with it.

    I’m in Viking Land so I’ll have to go the them and the Chargers. Chalk this one up to a first Viking Super Bowl wine in something like 5 appearances. Vikes 36, Chargers 14.

    Bring back Sniffy Sniff McGee.

    I need to try Barbaresco. You’ve opened up my palate in 09. I try more wines because of your information and sharing. I can’t wait to be exposed to even more varietals in 2010.

    Thank You

  • Barbarescos are wonderful, most are still nasty old world stinky wines that need age. I like it.

    Game predictions: Canada 5 USA 3 in tomorrow night’s much anticipated World Junior Hockey round robin match. This is awesome hockey once it gets past the crappy teams in the round robin, any game between two of Canada, USA, Russia, and Sweden will be excellent this year.

    We’ll have to budget for some Barbaresco, it’s been a long while since we’ve had any…
    QOTD: not a clue, I mostly follow the other football, so we’re focused on South Africa in this household.
    Are you coming down with another cold? As I recall, you pop on a hat (indoors) when you’re not feeling well…
