    Wow 2 looks back? got me wondering what the looks back will be like for episode’s 2,3,4,5,6, and 700. Really nice office bathroom btw Gary, I figured you were rich but wow, do you run Grand Cru Chablis thoough your water lines in there?
    Would love to see a vin jaune episode and/or a charbono tasting one by episode 800 my friend.

    I can’t be the only one to comment on this but – that was a much nicer bathroom than I would have expected in GV’s office. Marble tile? I guess with as much liquid as Gary consumes, you want that to be a relaxing spot! ;)

    Susan #207 Dont worry its not my fault the voices made me do it, doesent everyone hear the voices

    One book I liked was…. “Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier” by Andrea Robinson, it gave me a good knoledge base to start from.

    not having #100 posted yet is costing me more work time this week than if it would of posted already, as I am checking every hour or two for #100

    Thanks Paul…yes, Cathy and her brother do a wonderful job!
    They have been in a wine family for years and years!

    They are selling their Pinot grapes to Red Car this year….can’t wait.

    BrandonM, you have a very talented cousin if she owns the Farm House Inn. Fantastic restaurant and the wine list is excellent. Prices reasonable, too.

    Looking forward to the end result of the voting.

    AND CAN’T WAIT UNTIL #100!!!

    Denise – I found these two books to be informative and well written:

    Oz Clarke’s New Essential Wine Book
    Wine Style: Using Your Senses to Explore and Enjoy Wine by Mary Ewing-Mulligan

    I also have a copy and find valuable the Jancis Robinson Oxford Companion to Wine. It’s like having a dictionary on your shelf, a good “go-to” book.

    On an entertaining note, I found the following two books worthwhile:

    Bacchus and Me: Adventures in the Wine Cellar by Jay McInerney
    The Accidental Connoisseur: An Irreverent Journey Through the Wine World by Lawrence Osborne

    Gary-
    I hope you are planning to record the 100th SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!
    Gary – we miss you!
    Were you waiting for 200 comments before you did the 100th episode?
    Just curious.

    Gary’s Gravitar should be a picture of him in mid-CLANK!

    Why doesn’t Gary have a Gravitar?

    I don’t know whats wrong with the 2004 Sebastiani wines, but I just opened anathor bad bottle of Carneros Pinot. Not sure whats going on here….I’ve never had Sebastiani dissapoint so much in a vintage before.

    Okay, it’s not quite a Chinon but here’s a ‘00 Ch de Fesles Anjou Rouge VV which is seriously green (maybe even slightly corked?) but really not bad with pizza. Most interesting, but I liked the Baumard red better.

    kind of like Vaynernation. has a good flow, nice one Sue. I just opened La Forge Merlot, tastes “mediciny” and “bitter”. I think I’ll move on to something else.

    Wow! I just finished the 04 Bodegas Arrocal Ribera Del Duero. GO BUY A CASE! Right Now. What an incredible mouth feel. Silky through to the finish. Balanced. It was the best $12 bottle I have ever had.

    thanks for the walk down memory lane, the frog’s leap episode still cracks me up. . . “just not (long pause) drinkable” it’s classic!!! Gary one more thing, “I WANT MY WLTV!!!” give it to us baby! episode 100, stop holding out!!!

    Enjoying a 2004 Klopp Ranch Pinot Noir from Merry Edwards….mmmmm Nectar.

    It’s getting me in that sour spot around the jaw…but in a great way…perfect.

    Julius / Rick E / Rick McQ – Thanks so much for the wine ed. info! (Excuse me for being out of this loop for a few days…i.e. delayed thanks.) Thankfully, I actually have access to some of the finest wine courses offered (!). I truly am interested to know specifically what wine BOOKS Gary (or anyone else) might recommend. I have my favorites but am always interested in recommendations and am interested to know if my favorites rank in those recommendations. (I’ll tell you mine, if you tell me yours.)

    Thanks again!

    Enjoying a 2003 Pio Cesare Barbera (gotten from Pio himself? during the tasting at The Library)while watching the Yankee game…. kids asleep…. no NY Giants loss this week (bye week of course)…. anxiously awaiting episode 100…. LIFE IS GOOD!

    From a fellow Vayniac in Vaynernation! Congrats to Gary on the 100th episode!

    Kudos! Sir Brian Woolley Thank you also for all your hard work in the SS. It’s a cool tool!
    Brandon M: When do the polls close? No dangling chads, I hope.

    To all who know something about Chicago:

    My hubby and I will be headed to the Windy City first week in Nov.
    Never been there before. So excited to go!

    Will try to see King Tut exhibit (1400 S. Lake Shore Drive – Field Museum)
    and “Wicked” Oriental Theatre, 24 West Randolph

    I don’t know where either of these places are yet, nor do we have tickets, but I do hope they’re
    near good hotels and the good Chicago food/wine/blues experience.

    You all are so full of information and great advice..I was hoping for some directed my way.
    1) Where to stay
    2) Dining…Of course good wine is the pre-req ( I do have SS Chris’ data)
    3) What to see (If I get my way, we’ll be there Thurs. eve through Sun night)

    Any tidbits that might be helpful. I could buy a Frommer’s book, but I figured you all would be more helpful. If I can’t get Wicked tics, we’ll just have more time for wining, dining and music.
    Thanks all
    The Countdown to 100…can’t wait
