Are the Jets the worst at Draft picking? Qotd - Best Bottle was an Alban Reva Syrah I gave my Dad for Christmas - best bottle I got is a toss up between a bottle of Dom P. for my wedding and a bottle of 99 Cinc Cepages (#2 wine - 95 points Spectator) from my Dad. That was the first wine that made me truly appreciate wine. I have no idea who those people were but it was still awesome to watch the Jets fans reactions – priceless.

QOTD - Best bottle ever recieved - Got to be a 2000 Chateau Rayas. A friend of mine was going to live in the RHone for 3 months and I told him that he had to go to Rayas. He went, and as a thank you for stearing him there, he brought be back this bottle. Pretty cool! Best bottle ever given - Got to be a 1978 Chateau Palmer that I gave to a buddy on his 28th b-day.

happened upon wltv a week or so ago and went back to ep 0 to see em all (about half way done). you and wltv are awesome. best thing on the net, wine or not. what you’ve already done is huge. i’d say you have the vision thing.

looking forward to catching up to the present and future episodes.

best give: gave a bottle of m rothchild to a friend and a magnum of insignia to a client

funniest wine incident: gave the aforementioned insignia magnum to client at his xmas party. he unwittingly added the bottle to the bar thinking it was run of the mill vin rouge and the bartender promptly opened it and started serving it to everyone requesting red. when i saw the bartender with a black magnum i thought no way. horrorified upon closer inspection i of course raced over to get a glass just before it was all served up!

best get already drank: got a chat lafite for my 30th birthday – yum!

best red get still in bottle: one of my brothers gave me a bottle of 94 insignia,

Very clean. Good episode. I think no one should ever apologize for being underwhelmed by a bottle of wine. It's tough to poo-poo a wine when someone else has recommended it. I had several very terse responses for my stepfather who provided unsolicited and unflattering comments about a bottle of wine I purchased for us to enjoy with dinner. The Jets clip was a riot. I feel your pain my friend. Need I say more than "I'm a Detroit Lions fan?" Three number one picks...three wide receivers. Forget that we don't even have a decent quarterback to to get them the ball, an offensive line that can block long enough to get the pass off, or a defense that can actually return the ball to our offense with out 7 points being given in exchange! Okay...here's the question for you. The Jets play the Lions on October 22. Care to predict the score? Gary,

In short, you seemed off balance. Thanks anyway for trying some of the wines that viewers requested, and as always your truth in reviewing is appreciated. It looks like Joe and I are going to continue to wish for the Chateau Pavie tasting, and maybe if we pair it with a magical expression like "Go Jets!" it will be realized one of these days. QOTD: Best bottle I ever gave to someone, in terms of being truly memorable and one of my all-time favorites, was a 1990 Guigal Hermitage, and the price at that time was an astounding $29. Best bottle we received was a 1990 Dom Perignon. Gary,

You're doing a great job. Good information and you're always keeping it upbeat and fun. The Carlo Rossi tasting was HILARIOUS. I don't know why people would be upset about your 1 minute post when you had to head off to be in a wedding. It was nice of you to post any video that day. Still waiting for you to do a blind tasting. When you do it, if you could make sure to go through your entire thought process on how you're narrowing down which wine you think it is, that would be extrememly informative/educational. Thank you for providing this great resource! Gary-

Today you did not seem into it. Was something bothering you? Were you in a bad mood? Did you give the wines a fair shake? Given - 2003 Caymus Select Received - 2 bottles 2002 Joseph Phelps Insignia from my Wife for Christmas last year. Hi Gary,
