    i’ll kick joey’s ass at bowling…hehe. I’m with you gary, I hate that wines from all regions are starting to taste the same. I’m a huge lover of wines such as brunello and it pisses me off when i drop $75 on one and it tastes like a freaking shiraz fruit bomb. When a wine is made well it can retain its terroir and still have profound jammy fruit. Keep up the great work.

    Yo, I’m in Japan so how about a WLTV Ninja league? After a “match” who’s ever left living will get a case of wine or “something”. Shoot, that’s a “fantastic” idea. I feel ya on the all wines moving to the same taste tip. But homie, oh don’t you dismay cuz there are tons of heads like all us Vay to the Niacs that are down for trying different tastes. We’re the new generation (well at least the coolest part of the new generation) of wine drinker that will change the market. Right now everyone has a woody for oakyfruityvanillyfruityfruitfruity in a bottle so all the winemakers hop on the band wagon. So, you get a bunch of homogeneous wines that please the masses for a while but in the meantime the “cooler generation” starts drinking wine from India, China, Texas, my mom’s bathtub and all these interesting places and we can put those places on the map. Two hopes I have for the wine world: more organic/biodynamic/ecofriendly wines and fewer people insisting to drink wine with food that really is made for beer. Wine and french fries…nope! Wine and fried chicken, c’mon.

    Sign me up for hoops!!!!!! I can play point guard or shooting guard and can be a shut down defender on whoever is the hot hand on the Total Wine team. Is it just a wine store leagu or will we play the 7-11 guys as well? I will be there with bells on. Let me know about tryouts.

    Sensei,

    You kind went off track on the Casanova di Neri and did not give it your rating? I am sure your not going to agree with WS if you do not think it tastes like a true Brunello, but still curious what score you would give it? My Sweetheart bought me three bottles of the 2001 Casanova for Valentines Day. (god I love that women!)I am pretty excited about owning them and putting them into my collection. You sounded like it was a very good wine with great flavors and silky?? Can you also give me your opinion on how long I should wait before popping one of these?

    Glad you said that about the Neri. The Tenuta Nuova wines did never weigh up to my expectations. They even come close to Banfi for what they are. Comp. with Syrah nails it. I am not to fond of these new tendencies in Tuscany. I think a lot of growers throw the true capacity of their terroir, but also the characteristics of the varietals (like I said about Chianti) overboard. Shame.
    C ya.

    GARY,
    DrEdwardo is correct in comment #62…you never rated the Casanove on this episode.

    You rated a 93+ in the SnowBowl EP….whaddya got?

    Need it for the SS.

    Perhaps you can have an alternative contest for the CA trip…whomever ever creates,submits and maintains the best WLTV SS. :-D

    How about free shipping on wine orders over $100. You rock HomerJ. Try some Long Island wines, they are getting better. But stick with Merlot and cab franc as opposed to my fav, pinot noir.

    “She’s into pinot…”
    “Perfect”

    Gary, Would love to join you for BB but knees are shot. How about a WL golf outing instead/in addition to at Baltusrol, that is if you have the connections. Golf in the morning and wine tasting in the afternoon… now that beats a day at the office!!!

    QOTD: NO free shipping!!… would rather have repeat of Black Friday coupons!!

    Can’t you just get rid of all the losers who just pos: “hey I’m number 2″, “wow Top 10″ etc….
    Out of 111 comments, we must have 10 comments on wine, 20 on people happy because they made it to the top 20 (what a miserable life you guys must have) and the rest is like reading a teenager magazine (yes right you can dunk, beat federer at tennis bla bla bla bla).
    Can we have a filter and at least just keep REAL comments??

    Like 'em Rounded and Aged

    No knock on your athletic prowess, but anyone that was inpressed with your ability to intercept a slow moving wine glass has said more about their athletic ability than yours.

    Thanks for the heads up on the Le Gay. Will give it a try.

    Global warming scares me too….maybe not as much as “Fake 92-94 Parker” Shiraz.
