    The idea of eggs on the nose of a wine makes me want to gag. Is that really the essence of Burgundy?

    Gary:

    You get called “the Ryan Seacrest of Wine”, and you’re not sure if it’s a good thing!? Of COURSE it’s not a good thing! If it makes you feel any better, Gary, I’ve always considered you kind of “the Brian Dunkleman of Wine.”

    Great show. An experience at La Tour D’argent with a 20 year old Nuit St. George burg is what really launched my wine journey. It was transcendental. I’m still chasing the dragon.

    Gary V,

    If you’re going to mention les Santenots, you should’ve told them the reason why the vineyard is regarded as Volnay and not Meursault, is that by law Meursault can only produce white wine. Another idiosyncracy of Burgundy is that the 80 owners Clos de Vougeot are splitting roughly 75 ha of vineyard. Man, I love that region.

    BTW, my answer to the QOD: I gotta go with Einstein. Great disheveled hair. After that, probably Enrico Fermi - nice Italian boy.

    Great clip Tim! The two-buck chuck was not quite a 90, 89+ points. :D

    Of course it’s me. I really wanted to get a black hairpiece before doing it to make it look a little more accurate but in the end I was too lazy. I also had planned on doing this for the time between the 99th and 100th episode but never got around to it.

    TimF!

    Hilarious WLTV Spoof!!!!!! You and I even made the questions of the day!! I just about died laughing. Nice VaynerNod and VaynerClank too! I kind of wish he had gagged on Two Buck Chuck, but that was a riot!

    Gary, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. You’ve made the big time!

    Marc T (comment 85)…thanks for the info on the 2000 and 2001 Dead Arm. I haven’t had a chance to go into my storage and check which bottle I have. Either way, Gary, you don’t need to try that, not that you would pick that out of these billions of great suggestions.

    Great…if I have the 2000, I’ll bring that home the next time I’m having an Aussie Shiraz style of dinner, and if it’s the 01, I’ll just forget about it for a little longer.

    Thank Marc.

    And Go BEARS!!

    Gary,

    I loved the episode. They are the most serious wines on the planet. Yes they are an expensive crap shoot, but like you said they’re worth every penny when you hit a great one.

    I like Tony S. would pick Burgundy as well if I had to be stuck with one area for the rest of my life.

    Also, did I see Big John Studd on the table in episode 100? I Iron Sheik and Hillbilly Jim were there.

    Bear Down….5 and Oh yeah!

    Holy smokes… cage match! Vayniacs vs wine librarians! $50 a ticket $100 for VIP. This is crazy people, I am sure you could make both t-shirts, couldn’t you? I for one think Vayniacs makes more sense because it reflects on the host of the show. Like for fans of Bob Barker (price is right) you wouldn’t name is fan club the price is righters…you would have something involving his name to show that you support what he is doing.

    Though wine librarians does come off snobby, I would still wear the shirt. Mainly because people would ask what it is about and I could direct them to our wonderful obsession. Regardless we need to remember that this is about fun right? As long as people are paying for the shirts what difference does it make what it says on the front/back

    Oh well, Gary you have your hands full.

    Here is a question for all of you.

    Recently I purchased a $30 bottle of wine and a $10 bottle of wine for bbq that I was attending with some great friends. They were both Cabs and we were looking to see which one we like better. The most frustrating thing in the world was after decanting them for about 2 hours the $10 bottle tasted like a champ while the $30 bottle was more suited for watering the plants. So here is my question to all of you Vayniacs/wine librarians. Have you ever had a situation like this that you were so disappointed that you were turned of from the $30 bottle’s maker for quite some time? I don’t know if I will be purchasing from them for awhile…however like gary says…it might have been the bottle.

    Drink on!

    Gary, Great episode on Burgundies! Have been waiting a long time to hear about some good Pinot’s. Will give them a try soon. Just one note, when will they be approachable? Keep up the great work Gary….

    Good episode todayGary

    Your QOD: How about the Montgras Cabernet Sauvignon / Syrah Blend 2005 or the Domaine Magellan Syrah- Grenache 2003? As much as I would love to see you review extremely expensive bottles of wine, I want to get your thoughts on wine that I can actually afford.

    Kudos on getting Elaine Bracco. She was one of the judges on the finale of the show “Top Chef” and they featured her wines during the competition.

    Questions:

    As to today’s episde. Why is there such a delta, in terms of price, between Burgundy and Pinot Noirs from other regions of the world?

    Another question. Say your on the run, and not near a wine store. You find a liquor store that has a decent amount of wine in many varietals, but none made by producers you recognize beyond the “training wheel” brands like Turning Leaf, etc. What is your suggestion for finding/picking out a nice bottle of wine when you’re in a pinch?

    Last question: What producer, or producers, do you think do the best job producing multiple varietals? You’ve had several vineyards on some of your earlier shows.

    OK…I will do ONE mass email to everyone, including Vaniacs, and those that bounce will be taken out of the vote.
