line of the day – ‘we need a Mott cam’

Basically GV could say to Mott – ‘this smells like Bruce Willis’ arse on a Friday’ and Mott would reply – ‘Yeah I get that’. Here it’s ‘sardines’ that GV bowls out there and the Mottster picks it up immediately! Comedy value very high

  • abrams7

    If I did have the time I would probably read CRUSH IT just because you wrote it.
    An your the shit!

  • Mott cam would just be a mirror, that's a great observation Carlo 10! We are watching old “The Office” episodes and “Simpson's” episodes when we're not trying to get all those darn Star coins on Super Mario Wii. I (Andy) listen to Arctic Monkeys, Gorillaz, Franz Ferdinand, and other similar music. Edie listens mostly to country. Pretty much just read the internet newspapers and magazines, not really any books. Great episode, never had a Cahors. We're having ham and pineapple tonight so we're not to sure what wine will go with that, maybe a Sav Blanc or sparkling.

    Satisfied Gary?

    I love Melbac. Never had a clue about the Cahor correlation.
    QOTD1: Me! I would love a Mott Cam. DOit! You can put in a little pnp video block in the bottom right of the screen. Like on skype.

    Reading: I read cnn and tmz online.. does that count.

  • Paul in Paris

    An excellent show Gareth, the best in a while.

    Cahors is a wine I would normally avoid but you have really done the appelation a service with this show – it would be worth looking into these wines to relieve the monotony of the usual suspects – bordeaux/rhone/burgundy etc.

    Incidentally, tried some Vieux Télégraphe 2007 La crau there – delicious.

    Rgds,

  • QOTD: listening to you. Watching you. And reading your book. Seriously Watching This Old House, Reading Crush it, and Listening to 311. (good show)

  • SS_Chris

    Gary, This new interacitive Comments section is AWESOME!! The next step would be to create an online forum…..where there are different sections and threads. think about it…

  • +1 on the Mott Cam!!!! At least put up a mirror so you can see Mott in the reflection.

  • lawschooldrunk

    if you've never read this one before, I won't ruin it for you. Good luck 😉

  • Vinacull

    An exciting EP. Really enjoying Cahors lately and this was cool because one was in an everyday price range and the other a pinnacle from the region with a little age on it. Intriguing TN's Gary. I tried the '05 Monplaisir last month and I loved it. Old world yes, but offers major bang for the buck and will be even better with a few more years behind it. Cheers!

    QOTD: I listen to a huge variety of stuff on the iPOD. Dang nothing specific. I like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, Joe Cocker, some alternative rock, a little pop. I watch a bunch of crap including Bachelor which is the biggest train wreck ever. Cracks me up though. Better shows would be LOST, Gossip Girl, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Entourage. I'm reading my Wine Spectator subscription.

    I have the Pigeonnier Cahors stored away for a special day! Can't wait to try it after this review. I'll make sure to have it in a old school type setting with a cigar 😉

    I've been LISTENING to everything in the Zune Marketplace. I can't believe I just barely found out about how awesome the Zune Pass is.

    I'm currently READING Tim's 4-Hour Work Week Expanded and Updated book and a couple other books on Search Marketing along with all my daily Google Reader feeds.

    I'm WATCHING Wine Library TV, 24, Chuck, 30 Rock, and other random things I find on Hulu 🙂

    And I'm PLAYING Pro Evolution Soccer and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 whenever I get a chance!

    Pretty standard, huh? heh

    Your starting to grow on me Gary, I don't know what it is. I take back what I said about you. You're only a half fraud…Just kidding man, your legit.
    Bourdain's No Reservations and Curb Your Enthusiasm
    I've been on a Phish kick lately. The new Monsters of Folk is outstanding.
    I just finished the D. Brown's The Lost symbol. Its bad. I'm reading Jessica Anthony's The Convalescent; its the literary equivalent of the 2000 Chat Lagrezette Cahors. Just finished Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius; pure literary joy.

    I couldn’t agree with you more. Dylan was the voice of the people and a song writing genius. His songs have been covered hundreds of times, by many many famous singer/songwriters. Laga Gaga and her contemporaries are no talent hacks.

    in responce to pj4533:

    Massachusetts passed new direct shipping legislation in 2006. The new law has a limit on how much wine an individual consumer can receive from and aggregate of wineries every year. Unless wineries can be assured that they won’t be penalized for being the one that goes over the annual limit, we advise them not to ship. Most importantly, FedEx and UPS are NOT shipping into Massachusetts.
