Gary-

Welcome back and nice episode. I have a feeling the Bordeaux episode(s) are going to rock. QOTD: I really thought I was going to hate the Tower of Terror ride at MGM Studios in Disney, but I ended up loving it to death. I know, it is lame, but my perception was much different than the reality.

Gary,
Welcome back! Nice episode. Never had a Sancere, will have to try one. First time I square danced was not 3rd grade, it was MY WEDDING! My wife’s family from Upstate NY was into that, so we had to do it. By the way, did you know that rednecks are not indigenous to North Carolina? My In-Laws, and I love them, are Upstate NY rednecks. The difference: the food. Down South, it’s biscuits and gravy. Upstate NY it’s Michigans and chili. So that is my perception/reality QOTD.

You finally got me to come out of the shadows; I am no longer a lurker. As a Cleveland Browns fan, I think it was the John Elway’s “Drive” reference that did it. Anyways, welcome home and great episode.

QOTD – Before I got into drinking wine, I always thought wine drinkers were all a little snobby and thought they were better than everyone else. Boy, was I way off. And you helped change that perception. Thanks!

i forgot QotD! my skills @ the NCAA bracket mark an area where perception MATCHES reality. goodness i suck @ this tourney every year. my career is a place where my perception in my 20’s missed the reality by a long shot!

Great show Gary and welcome back. Yes, I do remember square dancing in school. I have even done a little as an adult.

QOTD- My first great $9 bottle of wine several years ago. My perception was that inexpensive wine was fruit juice with alcohol, just something to be tolerated. The reality is that this wine from Spain was REAL wine with structure, tannins, a lingering savory finish, and a variety of flavors. And it was interesting to drink and taste. My perception of wine by price changed forever. Cheers!

Agree with Gary on $10-$20 Bordx wines. Small wineries are facing major financial problems. I would really hate to see them go or get bought by Mondavi/Rothschild/etc or some millionaire who wants to show off to his friends.

OK, so anyone who uses the pink panther theme on his vlog desreves a second comment. . .
GV, I loved your energy today. Not too streesed, genuinely interested in the wines, brutally honest (well, that’s nothing new) – you make me laugh and pay attention at the same time.
If you have to go to France to recharge, so be it! I’m excited to see all the new juice you’ll bring back with you. Thnks, as always.
Go Jets! (yes, I have been reduced to cheering for football off-season. Did you see what those hoyas did to my poor heels?)

QOTD-
I actually thought for a little while that the Jets were a decent football team. Wow was my perception far from reality!

‘Bout time you got back. I’ve been waiting days to download WLTV to my iPod so I can watch at work(I have a lot of downtime). I think I was suffering withdrawal.
