Wines tasted in this episode:

WLTV San Francisco Party.

WLTV San Fran Party Thread

The wine region of Burgundy holds many wines but Chablis maybe one of the most under rated and exciting wines in the region! Today Gary Vaynerchuk tastes four examples of these Chardonnay’s.

I have found WLTV a great resource and appreciate all you have done, thanks. I am going to take advantage of the free shipping. Can’t beat buying wine from home!

Enjoyed the episode,Last year on Jeopardy they had a question “which one of theese is not a variety of grape” and chablis was on there. I enjoy chablis more than chardonnay because of the minerality and less oak than Ca. chards.
Now don’t get down on Steeler fans! Maybe the Jets will go after Joey Porter?

Great show Gary V. Loved the Duty Roads flashback. One of my best friends in H.S. was kicked out of his history class for standing on the desk and impersonating THE AMERICAN DREAM.

QOTD: I admit it, I have had several (5 or 6) jugs of chablis and/or burgundy.

The JETS- Hey maybe they can pick up Drew Bledsoe on the cheap since the Cowboys have released him.

Excellent show today. So much more interesting than reading dry wine reviews that don’t really say anything to me. Later today I plan to jump into a vat of bee-ridden honey and split an oak log today, then eat at Medieval Times! Wahoo!

Never tried a Chablis jug wine…never seemed particularly tempting! Glad you are going to do a SF party, especially since public transportation is very good to take after a wine party….and I live near a major BART (SF subway system) station..

All’s I’m saying is Lance Briggs BETTER stay in Chicago!! At least the Bears took care of Lovie Smith though.

QOD: I’ve been fortunate enough to have never tried any of that big jug wine. No wait, I did try the “Burgundy” one once, and it tasted like Kool-Aid and alcohol.

OK…I’ll see you later!

GO BEARS!!!!

QOTD: Can honestly say I have never had jug chablis in my life and plan to keep it that way.

So who are the Jets after in free agency??? Hmmmmm……maybe Joey Porter now that he has been released. They could really use Nate Clements but I don’t think they will pony up the $$$$ to pay him. I can also see them pursuing an interior OLineman…Steinbach or Dielman maybe.

Chablis from jugs,and later from boxes. As long as I was drinking and not tasting it was passable.

I have been “off” Chardonnay for several years, but recently a friend brought a white Burgundy to share that showed me that I’m not really an “ABC” person (Anything BUT Chardonnay). With that bottle and today’s episode I want to explore more Burgundian possibilities.

Thanks for the Free Shipping.

Never had jug chablis dude, sorry. I did enjoy a lovely jug of hearty burgundy, however, with the goal of making myself a change jar (that I’ve used for 8 years). You should definitely make the Chicago party over the weekend April 14-15, because I’ll be flying up from Omaha to take the Intro. Sommelier Class — I mention the class because it means there will be at least 79 other wine geeks there to take part in the party. Great episode, Gary. Could you do something on the smaller appellations of the Languedoc — Corbieres and Faugeres?

Grat Episode. I’m too excited right now with the Free Shipping to fiugre it all out. Late to work cuz I’m working on my order!

I went for the Grossot Chablis and it’s already sold out…

I’ll manage to find something

Put me down for Frisco.

Could the JETS use Joey Porter?Joe Horn?

Thanks for the free shipping, Gary!

We love Chablis and agree that it’s still one of those few wines that are undervalued out there. Yep, we love that minerality and liveliness you just can’t find in Cali Chard.

QOTD. I have NEVER bought a jug of chablis, though I have “tasted” it in a few open bar situations where that was all they had. Yeah! Great party!

Thank you for the chablis episode I learned a lot. Even though I missed spelled chablis earlier in my first post.
