second that

I’m in!

I have tried the 2007 vintage of the Carnival of Love and it is most definitely over the top. I have not tried the 09 Blue Eyed Boy, and therefore cannot compare the two. That being said, in most cases there is going to be a lot of fruit in most Molly Dooker wines as I am sure you know. Have the Carnival of Love with steak or some other hearty food if you are worried about the bombastic style, although depending on what you have that might make it worse. Drinker beware of the fruit bomb monster when getting anything from Molly Dooker!

Wow thanks for the info. I was going to ask about allegrini with this wine but it slipped my mind. Good info. I knew I tasted some residual!

did GV make it out of Foxboro alive?

Adam the dorrs happened before WLTV, I am sorry u didnt like Guest week but I will bring it this week!

I think I saw you are from the SF Bay Area. Friend me up!

THIS IS THE VID THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SHOW:

I heard his playoff beard saved him by keeping rabid Pats fans at bay.

get on a plane!

Pick up line:
By the way, how tall are you, I didnt know angels came in your size – lets float out of here!!

Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bodegas Muga is great. I tend to like the lower end, and less firmly/heavily wooded releases, as i believe that Tempranillo has a great deal of character, and doesn’t need the ham-handed wood treatment.

Alvaro Palacios – didn’t have a Priorat from them, but did like, one of their lower end Birezos (Mencia – which I really dig, in general).

Bonarda is just not for me – even when blended- there’s a flabbiness of excessive fruit that just doesn’t seem to go away… But I will continue to look for varietal developement. (Just had a Colome (Hess) blend, last week. It was ok, but just not where my money’s at.

Great show, love to see someone my age this passionate about vino.

QOTD Do you have a map because I get lost in your eyes

Yup, East Bay all the way baby!
Don’t have time for Facebook, if that’s the “friending” you were talking about.
(I blog about wine instead) Gotta a meeting and work on the 30th, but if any SFBA folks want to organize a Wednesday night get together, I’m game. I work in Retail, so weekends generally don’t work for me without several weeks notice. Besides Wednesdays, I’m booked up through late February at this point. I’d totally love to meet up with the local Vaynaics, so whoever is interested: norse.gal@gmail.com

QOTD: Did it hurt? …When you fell from heaven.

That reminds me of a conversation on diggnation where guys debated the virtue of walking up to a girl and just asking for sex. It sounds like the same scenario. If that guy is asking every girl in the bar he is bound to get one taker but, as you put it, it takes a lot cajones because you are mostly going to get rejections. And then no telling what the girl your getting is like. Its all a trade off, thats all.

I’m gonna go off the cuff here and try to come up with the nerdiest wine pickup line ever. Here goes:
QOTD: “I’m spicy like Dijon. You’re Macon me crazy. Let’s meet in the middle and Beaune.”

ha.. and actually some guy named Tony says intro-ing GV on 108

quite an interesting show…apart from the blabla about american football (I appreciate you have a passion, like in my case for – FIBA – basketball, but do you really have to bullshit that much about it???) ;-)) Don’t worry, I just skip those parts!

The Spanish picks, for once, are really good (could you please do the same in future for cava and albariño=rías baixas, for instance?)…and from brilliant wine makers! While Rioja (and the traditional bodegas like Muga or Lopez Heredia) are very good value for money, I always think of Priorat as way too expensive for what they bring, especially in comparison to other Spanish D.O.
For when a wine from Campo de Borja or Calatayud on the programme? I probably sound too critical, as I know the Spanish wines-horizon better now I’m living in Spain and enjoying them 😉

QOTD : I’m afraid I never appreciated pick-up lines, although the mathematical one is cute!

Love love love Spanish reds. Priorat is outside of my price range, but I can still pick at some of the lower-end Ribera del Dueros.

QOTD: (rated PG-13) “Do you sleep on your stomach?” Followed by, “Can I?”

I think I’m going to become a Bills fan.

QOTD: for me its not so much of a pickup-line but more of a physical move I like to do. When a pretty girl walks by, usually in the gym, I like to stick my ass out and do a nice big stretch aimed toward her. Its kind of like a mating call in a way. I would say it works 60% of the time, every time.

That’s a ridiculous line! That’s all I have to say. haha

Great Show! Good Guest today.
QOTD: I never had this used before but my Wife used it on me when I first dated her,, she said she used this a couple of times and it worked for her,,,”So now that you feel confident,, do you know how to F_ _ _???”
I hit the floor laughing.
M~R

GV & Guest – Good dude!

QOTD: Did it hurt? When you fell from heaven! BOOM!

Opener from The Game: “Need a female opinion: My friend just went out to dinner with his ex and his gf is pissed. What do you guys think?”
