  • Dear Helen,

    I’m going to offer you some constructive criticism: It’s time to take your game to the next level. If you’re going to be a winemaker one day, you have to bring more to the table than just being cute. I am convinced you are smart enough to develop tasting notes and memorize retail prices. In fact, I’ll bet that if we see you again soon, you’ll have developed a whole arsenal of relevant information about your family’s wines. Good luck – we’re cheering for you!

    That game Sunday night was awesome. I really hope they repeat next weekend.

    Rookie coach and rookie QB taking it to the play-offs? Fantastic.

    Sorry, she was a terrible guest. Yes, she’s cute, and clearly she knows it, but come on! She’s planning to start a line of wines and she can’t give any kind of tasting notes? Is she just going to throw darts when she starts tasting her own production? Great hair, but then absolutely nothing else. Growing up in Napa Valley doesn’t grant real ability, I guess. This was not good.

  • Only things that come to my mind are the guest is a true “Valley Girl” and at least twice she said “I never pay for wine.” My question, one would assume she was brought up with a “silver corkscrew” my QOTD is: “Have you paid for anything” hence the reason she doesn’t know any price points. Wow, cute will only get you so far.

    QOTD: I don’t think it really matters who rex Ryan brings in to teach a player how to slide! Please. I can’t believe any “athlete” doesn’t know how to slide!

    Congrats to the Jets. It should be a good game in Cincy.

    Cheers and above all GO COLTS!!!!! Oh right, we can’t lose, we’re on bye. 😉

    Love the Buehler as well as another family owned winery Chappellet. Those of you bagging on Helen really need to get a life. This was probably her first media experience, not to mention it was probably sprung on her. Much like wine I’m sure she’ll get better with time.

    QOTD: Sanchez never had to learn to slide because he was playing in the PAC 10! So it was probably a good idea to bring someone in to help him out.

    Hope you had a wonderful New Year GV!

    Hey Gary
    Helen, great show. Gary good to have you back. I definately want to see that cab tasted blind.
    Try some A to Z or Waterbrook reserves if you would please. These are my current value faves. I am curious how your pallet reacts to them.
    My prediction is not too well. But still. I would like too see.

    Hmmm. Based on body language alone, I wouldn’t have guessed she was 21+. I second Dale Cruse’s post – nicely put.

    QOTD: neutral. I follow the other football.

    Looking forward to the 2007 Cab double blind! Be sure to follow through on that one! 😉

    Hey Gary, glad you’re back. I enjoyed listening to your review of the HDV chard. I have heard alot about it. Hey Helen, your cab sells for 25 bones. Get in the game.
