    GREAT PINOT EPISODE..

    Always looking for some good Pinot’s. Being a Burgundy lover the Evesham sounds like a good buy. Keep up the great work Gary and let your passion be your guide…Alan

    Gary, did you know you can anagram “Jets” into “jest” as in “Surely you jest” or “jest”ers?

    Gary,

    Thank for the Oreg”u”n pinot show. Really didn’t mean anything by the poll. Glad to see you’re responsive to the masses, though. Keep them coming.

    My favorite teacher was Ed Schroth a biololgy teacher. He was influential in my career decision to pursue a medical career and subsequentl becoming a medical oncolgist. I still keep in cotact with him.

    GV – Thanks for the Oregon Pinot episode (pronounced Oar-ohh-joihnnez). Love Pinot and perfect timing with Thanksgiving coming up.

    TampaSteve – great dad story. I’m going to call mine in Chicago as soon as I’m done typing this.

    QOD – my folks. Like GV, my parents are off the boat (from Germany), started with little, learned a new language, and sent my brother and me to college. They even taught me the finer things of our heritage–like Jagermeister, Blue Nun, and Spaten Bier–long before the usual introduction in college. Of course my drinking problem may be an inadvertent side effect, but you take the good with the bad…

    The best teacher is experience with new cultures.

    Great episode. You pegged the Evesham flavor profile. I just had a 2005 Evesham last weekend, and it is even more toward the earthy side, with a drier, more muted fruit. This is definitely a Burgundy lovers pinot, and this is one where I agree with you 100%.

    My favorite teacher: my dad. Dad was a teacher/principal for more than 40 years. He loved it and it showed.

    QOTD:

    We have various teachers in our lives. Like everything else, my favorites keep changing.
    At this point my favorite teacher is Gary Vaynerchuck because he is very passionate about the subject and I really like the subject!

    With this out of the way,
    Gary, great performance on the radio. You sounded really confident.

    Great episode on Pinot. I am not a huge fan of this type of wine yet perhaps because I didn’t have enough exposure to.

    Suggestion about the intros (great intro in today’s show, btw):

    How about a contest with several categories (the funniest intro, the scariest, the most informative, etc) with prizes (something small like bottle of wine) to the winners in respective categories?

    You can run a contest for a month or so and then have a poll among forum participants.

    E-
    yes it was the cuvee terroir.
    WS had this to say: Floral and cherry notes up front here, quickly followed by iron, green olive and herb notes. Nice focus, though the earthy, leafy notes on the finish might be a bit much for some. Drink now through 2005. 85 points.

    I assume the tasting was predicated on a price point, because absent were some outstanding Oregon Pinot Noirs; Ponzi, Siduri, Sineann and Soter to name a few. Maybe on a future tasting.

    QOTD – My 5th grade teacher, Mr. Forester, was so good (and everyone in the class thought so) that we had our parents put “pressure” on the school to have him be our 6th grade teacher. He had an uncanny ability to instill a desire in each of his students to reach (or surpass) his or her potential.

    Great Episode. QOD: My most influential teacher (besides my wonderful parents of course) was professor TerBest. He changed my course in life in during my freshman and sophomore year in college and I don’t regret any of my decisions since then. He also showed me that it’s alright to be a dork as long as you are true to yourself. My wife and my daughter are my best teachers. I learn something new from them everyday, they are awesome.

    Tampa…that story got me all choked up…your a great guy and I am glad that your doad is doing well. Hello to all of my fellow stupid kingdumb family….If you need me, I’ll be at the door throwing the lurkers out to the curb…lol

    QOD: My 10th grade math teacher Mr. Golden….he was the first person to actually try and be a friend as well as a teacher. I loved that guy, and if he’s watching…let him know that he changed my life. Thank you Mr. Golden…and thank you Mr. Vaynerchuk…..Gary, your my best wine teacher

    Gary: Thanks for the Pinot show! Your description of those Russian candies cracked me up.

    QOD: Due to my own personality flaws including huge authority issues, I did not really ever have a teacher that I thought all that much of. My 9th grade soccer coach, Mr. “Whitey” Holck at Roosevelt Jr, High in Westfield, NJ, was a real class act and a guy I respected. I also thought my 4th grade teacher, Miss Nott (Knott?) was really hot until I found out that my mom set her up with my uncle! Ruined everything for me! I just know he slept with her, dammit!

    Gary, great episode – love Pinot both old world and new. Been watching for a few weeks but this is my first post. Looking forward to trying the Evesham. I really enjoy the format and the show. Thanks and keep it up.

    I’ve had some great Oregon Pinos, but have not been pleased with the last several I’ve bought. I’ll have to try the Evesham.

    Teacher… Mrs. Sutfin, 2nd grade. Hard ass old lady who you started out hating, then respected, and by the end of the year loved.

    Belarus could probably do with a new president, last I heard …

    cgf: was the Joguet a Cuvee Terroir? I had one of those earlier this year and it smelled like a garden hose. An OLD garden hose. Still good, though.

    QOD: it may be cheap, but I’d have to credit my dad for teaching me by the time I was 10 that zinfandel is supposed to be red and that riesling doesn’t come from Johannesburg.
