   Kansas is going to DESTROY this year. We got screwed in the first round the last couple of years, but this year, we’re #1 in our division, we just won the big 12, and we’re ready to BRING IT!!! Unfortunately i’ll still be in France for the victory celebration

   QOTD, I’d trust the exact opposite of my own intuition (Seinfeld, anyone?)

   Entered the NCAA tourney baby!

   I trust my wife’s intuition the most. She’s right pretty damn often.

   And just as an aside, you damn well better be doing WLTV this time next year. Now that I can’t buy from you guys, this is all I have!

   Thank you for sharing about your Grandad. Isn’t it strange how a scent can dredge up such long ago memories? Happens to me all the time.
   NCAA Brackets: My FAVORITE time of the year. We’ll be at Rounds 1 & 2 in Lexington and the St. Louis regional. I can’t wait!! Go Bucks!!

   QOD: My late Grandmother was very intuitive. Also, our dog and horses seem to know that something is about to happen before we do; especially when trail riding and a snake is near.

   Gary-
   Another fabulous ep!
   Didn’t know about the whole
   “get tired of tasting cab thing.”
   I NEVER get tired of Cabs.
   Loved hearing about your grandfather.

   Great episode Gary!

   Loved hearing about your grandpa. Funny how certain flavors can trigger specific memories for us. For me, watermelon always brings good memories of my Granddad. We used to sit out on the back porch with huge slices of watermelon, and he never cared how messy or sticky I got. He was the world’s best watermelon picker and had the thumping technique down to a fine art.

   QOTD: I only trust my own intuition, and it has almost never steered me wrong.

   Hi Gary,

   I have been posting in the forum for a few days now, but this is the first time that I post a comment for an episode. Just wanted to confirm that I will destroy you in the NCAA challenge and that I have Georgetown going all the way.

   QOD – Is this a trick question? Of course that I trust MY intuition. Oh well, and when it comes to wine I trust yours a little too.

   Good selection of wines. The Cali Syrahs are really coming on strong. I love them.

   The UF Gators will rule the roost again at the NCAA– too much talent. I have to say though that Georgetown is playing some pretty good ball right now, so watch out for them. Ohio St will be like their football team… destined for a serious meltdown in round two or three.

   QOD– I don’t trust intuition. Only good judgment based on long experience and hard work.

   Gary, As a matter of interest is the Arnot blend co-fermented or blended and is the viognier the same vintage as the shiraz?

   QOTD: Intuition is what enables a women to contradict her husband before he says anything.

   Nice episode like usual. Invaluable.
   QOTD: Mine.
   Thanks Gary.

    Thanks for telling me about four up-and-coming wines I can’t afford right now, Gary! By the time I can buy them, they’ll all be ‘old hat’. But, at least I can say, “I saw a guy taste that one! He says it’s great!”

    QOTD: Not really sure I could point to anyone in particular… I know that I keep finding out that I should trust my own intuition more!

    Roocccckkkk Chaaallllllkkkkkk Jaayyyyyhawwwwwwkkkk
    KKKKKKUUUUUUUUU!!!

    Kansas all the way! I’m opening that Vielle Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape for their first round game on Friday and the nicest bottle I can find for when they get to the championship game. And a huge Syrah for the 15th via suggestion from Gary.

    Unfortunately, I can’t see anybody beating Georgetown this year unless there’s a miracle if I think logically. Eh. Go Hawks.

    QOTD: Mine. I’ve got one wine rep who I trust, only because he dogs wines that he brings in to sample. “It tastes like red raspberry, lightly oaked …. but I don’t really like it.” I love his honesty ad he is usually on. I’m starting to trust GV too.

    Top 55? Weak- gotta get back on top like last Friday.
    Thank you again, Big G. for showing a few under-the-radar wines.
    Also- great Grandfather reference and, almost as important, GREAT BIG WHEEL reference for the younger crowd- I have many a fond memory of cruising the neighborhood on my prized big wheel and “peeling out” until I wore a whole in that plastic wheel!
    ANYWAY- I remember my Grandfather (Pop-Pop) who used to say that he “swallowed a basketball” when rubbing his pot belly…it took me a while, but I finally realized that it was a joke. Also, he enjoyed his “happy hour” when he’d enjoy a glass of wine in the evening which deffinitely kept him young. Ahh- content old Grandfathers- may all of us guys be fortunate enough to get to that point some day.

    QOTD: Well, let’s keep this tribute to Grandfathers going: I trust(ed) “Pop-Pop’s” (my Mom’s dad) intuition the most. No matter how old he got, he always read the news and kept up with current events so that he was always in touch with the world- never out-of-touch. He stayed sharp as a tack in his elderly years, and stayed young at heart regardless of the effects of time. Here’s to Pop-Pop, and to the wise old man in the lives of all of the WLTV family members.

    Top 101? Geez Gary, you have to reach back to that Richmond-Orangemen game to suggest that you have Final Four ‘intuition”? My god man, you weren’t even potty trained then (I know, I know, I’m assuming you are by now). You became a legend not because of the pick, but that somehow you knew that that Richmond wasn’t on Staten Island. Oh, I did enjoy the episode, as usual.

    QOTD – anybody but mine (my stock market results will to prove that).

    Someone already pointed this out, but Gary made a rare mistake on the price of the Neal; it’s about $28, not $45.

    I was somewhat pleased to see the Pinot review from Rosella. I’ve got a PB I’ve been looking at from that area and was hoping to get a sense of what comes outta there. Not sure this really helped, but it gives me a little food for thought.

    QOTD: I’m selfish, so above all, I trust my own intuition. If I find someone with better instincts, I’ll change that assessment, but so far, I’m it!

    That’s right! Don’t go Grapplin’ with a Gopher! Big Ten Champs and soon to be NCAA champs (March 15-17)!

19. March 12, 2007

    Jason R.

    Lars – I am a Gopher fan as well. At least we rule the roost in Wrestling this year.

    Intuition – MINE / Only mine – But I do love researching and trying new things

    QOTD: Mine and my fiances, I figure if we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together I better trust her intuition. Are you also a part time psychologist?

    P.S. I should have the tournament won by the sweet sixteen!

    so happy to see you taste and like the Neal Cab. One of my favorites. In fact, I was just out to a group dinner in NYC last night with Mark Neal, his wife and Gove, the winemaker. Great, great people, making excellent, fairly priced wines wines. In fact Mark has not raised the price on his Cab in like 7 years!

    I hope you start carrying their Zinfandel, its one of the best I’ve had.

    Dom

    Did I hear incorrectly the price of the Neal cab? You said $45 and it’s actually $28? Gotta get a couple of those.

    QOTD: Who’s intuition do I trust the most? I trust only my own.

    Go Terps and Hoyas!

    thanks for an episode on hot new wines. my favorite episodes are when you go out on a limb and throw your opinions hard.
    question : had the 2004 Loring Rosella’s Vineyard. same grapes as the August West? different lots? etc.?

    i’ll post this Q. on the forum as well.

    QOTD : mine.
