qotd: I work at a family owned restaurant, and that family pretty much did. They had a list of about 250 different wines when I started there. I knew nothing about wine, and fell in love with wine after working there and wine being so much a part of that place.

QOTD: On my first trip to France, I really started to like wine and got to enjoy my first reds (before that I found them too tannic and the like). My interest kept growing since 2003 and then in 2007, my mom showed me the article in Time about WLTV. Needless to say, ever since then I’ve been been a Vayniac. Your advice and knowledge has really gotten me into the wine world now. I’m focusing on wine for my French Master’s degree!

Good episode – but I thought the Falesco was better than the DJ – both were good pizza wines in my opinion. The cola aspect of Falesco demands food – but it’s still an 88+ wine.

Hey Gary – our first fight, does this mean we’re in a serious relationship?

So many things to comment on:
1) Keep challenging the punks that question you. IN fact, get them on the show and blind taste them to show them how stupid they are!
2) Show rating – Hmmmmmmmlet’s say 91, could have been 99 if you wore a Jersey from a proper team like the Raptors!
QOTD – A Friends wedding got me into wine. Her dad is a huge wine guy, like 1900 Chateaux Margaux wine guy, and he opened a 1998 Wolf Blass Special Selection for all of us newbies and I thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread.

I’m a serious *accident* so my brothers are way, way older than me. Lucky for me one of them was seriously into beer and then moved on to seriously being into wine (with an occational beer). He turned me onto the wine thing from a young age… not as young of an age as you though, Gary.

Had some of Falesco’s past vintages and thought they were pretty good for the price. Have to see the difference in the “04″. Opposite with Norante: wasn’t to fond of the past ones will see the newer ones are like.
I use to drink what I thought was wine a while back; Sangria and steady at that(LOL). Until, I met (at that time)my future Father-in-law who made his own wine. Being from Europe(Portugal exactly) and being raised and allowed to drink wine in those days from a very young age. Even with breakfast(nasty). Anyway, the first day I had met him he put his bog’ol gallon of homemade wine on the table and said; “Do you drink wine”? and I said: “Sure”!. Boy, was I in for a surprise. From drinking white sangria to this, my socks and shoes nearly flew off and my hair stood up from the first sip. I reached for the 7-up to calm it down(and I guess sweeten it) and in-turn insulted him. He said “you’re ruining my wine”! So for two months I drank his wine like that and he shake his head. Finally, came the day, where I got the strength to drink it without the 7up. Wow! Was he happy. “Now that’s wine”, he said. Indeed, it was! I enjoyed it so much that I even took part almost every year stomping the grapes in his basement to make the next years batch!
After a not so good batch one year. I started to buy store wines and make a little wine cellar! When I went to show my father-in-law the wine cellar he could barely look. It was like Kryptonite to him! It was hysterical! After a while, he broke down and started enjoying store bought wine too! So, I thank him( up above) for introducing me to the wonderful world of wine! In honor of him, this year, I will most likely make my own homemade wine! Hopefully, I can make a good wine and be as proud as he was! – Ron
