   Loved the episode. I can’t afford anything you liked which sucks. I would love it if you could have a guest on the show from the Champagne region.

   I think I detected a mild intoxication towards the latter part of this episode.

   A sparkling wine episode with 9 tastings and no Prosecco?! What about the ~Zardetto Zeta~? I like the touch of sweet the regular Zardetto has and am very curious about the Zeta, but haven’t gotten around to trying it. Also, if you come across the Drusian Prosecco through a distributor, give that a taste and you’ll want it in your stock.

   Great QOTD: But I am biased. I watch WLTV in iTunes, not in a browser. I usually let two or three episodes pile up so that I can watch about an hour worth of WLTV at once. I typically watch it during lunch time during the week.

   Great episode. Keep them coming.

   [...] The Sparklers Our first sparkler on list is Castell Roig Brut. This is a sparkling wine from Spain that sells for $10 a bottle. Gary Vaynerchuk, of Wine Library TV fame, likes this wine a lot. In his recent video on sparkling wines, he rates the wine 89 points and states that this sparkling wine will be all the rage in 15 years. I say get some now while it’s cheap. [...]

    You Bear hater. It’s -on-, Vaynerchuck.

    You and your Jets can go watch Rainbow Brite will Urlacher and the Bears are guzzling their Krug after The Big Game.

    Gary,

    Thanks for another champagne episode! Like you, sparkling wine is my favorite “beverage with alcohol.” Glad to see you liked the ‘02 Gimmonet (even if you didn’t pronounce the last syllable of the name!). When I was in Champagne a year ago, people were saying the ‘02 vintage was going to be a good one; let’s hope so, as we need something to buy after all those ’96s. And to answer Ben N above: yes, the ‘96 Veuve Clicquot is excellent now; I’ve had several bottles and loved everyone of them.

    One final note to Gary: I know you think the nonvintages of the big houses, like Clicquot, aren’t worth the money, given the other choices out there (like some of the smaller growers you’ve praised), and I agree with you. But I wouldn’t want folks to think that the more expensive vintage champagnes and prestige cuvees from these same houses aren’t up to snuff, because they are. E.g., the ‘96 Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame is awesome; one of the best champagnes I’ve ever had.

    QOTD: on your web site.

    Thanks for this great video blog. Happy New Year to all!

    Gary,

    Great review of champagne/sparkling. I have the NV clicquot brut chilling in my cave. I hope it wows me more than it did you–will definitely share it with friends and family! QOD: I watch WLTV daily on my laptop with my 2 1/2 year-old son. We sit on the couch and I kid you not, my boy acts out everything that you do, but instead of a glass of vino, he uses his sippy cup. He even shoves the cup in front of the screen so everyone can see the “color” and later turns it upside down to “dump out” the excess juice. And yes, every time you sip, he sips. It is a pretty cute sight to see. jp

    Hello Gary,
    No doubt, I thought that this was a GREAT episode! Thank you for your nice comments regarding my family’s Champagne. To answer Kahuna’s question, the Champagne Pierre Morlet Millesime 1999 can easily age for another five years. The wine is mature enough to enjoy now, and should reach its peak within a year.
    Happy and SPARKLING Holidays!
    Luc Morlet-

    episode #151 is the first WLTV I’ve seen, i watched it on my MAC desktop at home. It was informative and fun to watch! Great time to rate some bubbly. Would love to see what you think of some the other big names you mentioned (Dom P., P. J. “Flower”, Crystal, Tattinger, etc… I love the value of Cava sparklers myself. Since were on the topic of bubbly… Moscato di Asti is another wonderful fizzy treat. It is well valued at around 10$ to 20$, super fruity aromas, sweet and effervescent. Usually too sweet for the Brut die hards but well recieved by most others, especially the ladies… in fact, even grandma will like it.

    Gary!!! Great episode. My favorite so far. QOD: I watch on my computer.

    Great huge episode Gary – I wonder what part you’ll get in the next Copolla film?

    Veuve is one of my favourite grand Marques (Pol Roger and Billecart-Salmon are my absolute favs) – definately payed the club price for it several times – though about £60 in the UK!

    Awesome episode! QOD: I download it thru iTunes and onto my iPod. Then, most times, I dock my iPod and watch the episode on tv, most times in my bedroom, and sometimes on my 40″ LCD XBR Bravia in the living room. Sometimes I watch it at work, on my iPod. I watch 100% of all episodes; Concepcion watches the show about 70% of the times. I save every single download in a file named WLTV in an external hard drive.

    Nice episode. With the build-up, I thought you were about to pan our local Gruet, but then you rated it higher than I do. The Blanc de Noirs is the inexpensive Gruet I rated at 87.

    I rated the Korbel at 81. I took the tour. They were good folks, very generous with the tasting, but I’m sorry, the wine just isn’t that good.

    I can’t wait to try the Morlet. Thanks for the tips.

    This is a lot more fun when you don’t spit too much.

    I don’t spit, either. Wine, that is.

    Dude, you crack me up.

    Tell Liz I said “Hi.” Both of them.

    E,
    I tried the regular Cristalino, again like seltzer but with a bit of strawberry like acidity. Def. not 90pts.

    Gary,
    Rediculous…Beyonce? once you go black bottle? Beep load? Histerical. Ditto on the Korbel; no yeasty/brioche, just seltzer to me. Nice ep. I’d say a 94, greath length and complexity.

    QOD: Sneakily (on any computer I can find on campus), my gf hates it when I watch. Beats me.
