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

    Great show! I love Malbec but have never seen Cahors in any of my local bottle shops, probably because I didn't know to even look for it hehe. Heck do we even get it in Australia?

    ONE LIFE ON CHANCE!!!

  • Cahors, still my favorite Malbec – nice, dark-fruited, leathery, unspoofy. And they have a Twitter, too – @cahorsmalbec – but what's with the funky ringed stems?

    Unfortunately, the price of the Cahors I used to be able to reliably find locally (Clos la Coutale) has shot through the roof of late – they're wanting $20 for it in Omaha now! I'd love to hit that stuff for ten bucks a bottle again.

    If you want everyone to see Mott, you should ustream more often.

    L: Fucked Up, from Toronto
    W: catching up with S2 of Mad Men (no, I don't watch f—ing Lost)
    R: I only read books on planes and in airports, and the last book I read was Rabbit Hole, the next play my theater's putting on.

    Or

    A cruise based around your new book “Crush It” – I will get my Cooley Jar out

    Or

    A huge NY/NJ WineLibrary party – a blow out bash for the NY/NJ crew- in fact do not rush this one spend some time thinking about it so you can really plan it out well

    Just a few ideas for you;)

  • Vineares

    Oh man…you have no idea how good that it is to know. I'm working towards becoming s Sommelier and it's pretty hard figuring out where to go and what to look at just starting out.

  • Which schools are you looking into for training?

  • Mott cam, YES!
    Blueberry pie homemade with self picked from the forest , yes, I've had lots. Make them myself! . Cahors not that much, but absolutely positively, sure thing, now 😀

    Interesting show. I admit I've never had Cahors before, thanks for dropping some knowledge on me 😉 I don't have a Facebook account and haven't planned on getting one either, this may change my mind.

    I honestly haven't given it much thought. I only got into wine about a year and a half ago and then decided I wanted to go for Sommelier 3 or 4 months ago. So I'm completely open to suggestions.

  • It depends on where you are geographically, but we attended the Sommelier Society of America, and International Wine Guild respectively. There are, however, a handful of institutions around the country that could get you where you want to be.

    Hell yes Mott cam!! Props on the Oklahoma reference. Too bad wine can’t get shipped here though, otherwise I’d be all over Cinderellawine.com.

    Good episode, gonna go get a bottle of Cahors tomorrow if I can find one.

    Will definitely try a Cahor. Listening to Sugarland, reading your book and watching your shows. What's wrong with me?

  • How is that book so far?
