    Chad Ochocinco will quiet the fire hat Jets fan (says my son and Sport Center).

    Please explain the Azienda Agricola (spell?) on the first label?

  • Great show, Gary. Love it when the wine is the focus of the show. Sitting on a ’98 Giacosa Barbaresco, wondering when I’ll open it. Maybe Jan 1, in honor of the New Year.

    New Years resolution – think more Italian wine in 2010. QOTD – I’d love to see a Patton vs. Brett battle, but think it will be Patton driving down the field in the 4th Q to beat the Eagles 24 to 20.

    QOTD: The Pats!
    The scores of their games give me indigestion, I can’t even fathom guessing a score.

    Heard great things about Barbaresco. Unfortunately, my budget doesn’t allow for it.

    chargers beat the eagles 27 – 19 – Mcnabb pukes at the end of the game again… Rivers acts like a punk again… As a giants fan I sit in the corner and drink way too much

  • Great show Gary… As wine guys, it does not matter how long a wine is open because we have the chops to know what it will bring. Trust you on your scores.
    As far as the Super Bowl …

  • First, great show and most of all, thanks for not rubbing my nose in it on national television of your boys whipping up on my Colts. As I said before, congrats on the victory.

    I will go out after work today and pick up a bottle of Barbaresco though I would order from you but doubt you have “same day delivery.” 😉

    QOTD: Colts 34 Cowboys 24 (I can’t believe I said Cowboys)

    Happy New Year!!! 2010 has to be better than ’09

    Cheers!

  • M – “Azienda Agricola” is just Italian for estate, chateau, or whatever you want to call the place where you grow grapes/produce wine.

    the other nite i opened a bottle of ’98 punset barbaresco for my dad and his wife. it was a stubborn bitch. it took 2 hours in the decanter to smell anything from it. afterwards, it was a pretty big wine that smelled like flowers all nite long. i was blown away about the contradiction between the nose and the palate.
    super bowl, dunno
