Hadn't seen this one yet ... Nice, and cool to find a wine for 7 bones that delivers. Reminds me of a Chianti I got last year: 2001 Castell'in Villa C. CLassico, € 7 or smth. and really delicious, just couldn't say anything wrong about it. Perfect, succulent, silky smooth, great balance, fresh, crisp, tobacco, earthy, cherry, ... name it, is was all there. In a Sangiovese blind tasting it was also one of the favourites (dunked Frescobaldi and Fonterutolli, isn't that nice?). QOTYesterYesterYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...D: see ep. 108 :D! Yuw.

(10:08 and 10:48 in the original video). Somebody apparently was playing tricks but nobody seemed to have noticed anything. Are there any ghosts in the store?

But, uh, WTF is this 177/108 thing. Can't help it, I love you man, but this is messed up. There's a difference between a killer show and a fake one. (FAKE!) Oh and whenever the hostess asks if you have “Reservations" for dinner, say "Yes, but I'll eat here anyway."

I bought the Coli Senesi. Remarkable? Hardly. Awful? Yes. I don't think you can even cook with the stuff. Don't worry, you can't be perfect all the time. Look forward to your return.

So here's my weird tasting note of the day, tasted a two day old very chilled Greco di Tufo today (from Vesevo, decent producer). Absolute nose of grocery store sugary gumballs straight out of the vending machine. Who wooda thunk it. G-Man come home baby, come home. “A beautiful rock of pleasure and flavor” …. you #$%^ing perv.

Apologies to Gary and longtime WLTV stalwarts for the occasional redundant question(s) I've asked over the past few weeks. With GV gone, I've had the chance to go back and read up on such topics as the benefits of decanting, why GV pans some wines they carry, etc. The early episodes have been enlightening...and entertaining...and humbling.... I had no idea so many issues had already been covered. I should probably go back to lurking for a couple months until I complete my enophilic due diligence and catch up on all past efforts. In the meantime, you're missed, GV. Hope you're back soon! I’m an idiot…or at least uninformed…or probably an uninformed idiot.

Going on vacation and showing old Jet rah rah episodes to take away the sting of not being in the big game yourself. Well its time you stop sulking and start rooting for the upcoming victory by DA BEARS. I hope you're watching as the Bears put the spur to the Dolts and revenge your loss. I admit I'd be conflicted if the Jets were playing. I spent 10 years living in NYC during the 80's rooting for the Jets. But they're not and I'm a Bear homer. Go figure - two Bear fans in a row.
