   I still want a wristband (or 2)1!!!

   Gary you should do an episode about bad wines!! I can give you a few names. Little Penguin White Shiraz (tastes like over fermented grape fanta and a really bad vodka cramberry!); Jepson Chardonnay from CA (tastes like day old popcorn, green ale, beer, brandy and apple cider together, truly awful and it smells like rancid butter!) Yuck!

   QOTD: what did I do that weekend? Went on a weekend stay with my fanfare band (rehearsal weekend) and played two concerts on Sunday. Not really a fanfare/brassband lke you might know. It’s something typical of Netherlands and Flanders, resembles a British Brass Band, but were twice as large and have different instruments (only brass and saxophones). Were not marching, but more of an orchestra. Just have look at our site: http://www.kfwerkmanszonen.be/ .

   QOTD: long time watcher, first post with a late answer: I go skiing on the weekends, I’m swiss and live near the snow capped alps, great sport, good to be outdoors, and the snow conditions this spring are way better than at the beginning of the winter. one more week of snow skiing and the winter season ends.
   thank you for all your shows and episodes. fun to watch and very educating. not only in wine knowledge, but also you are a great english professors for us foreigners to learn an even better english.
   i like a lot of your episodes. i want to mention one: the german rieslings. what i liked so much is the low alcohol content. less than 10%! low alcoholic wines is the future(or is it: low alcoholic wines are the future?) the germans should promote it a lot more, especially among the women.
   thank you

   Thanks for the heads up on this wine. I seldom trust WS scores on Bordeauxs.

   Great show. Just saw it. What if the wine starts out smelling bad but tastes ok? And you are right..there are thousands of shows left to do so get busy!!! This weekend I spent delivering the paintings I sold last weekend. I sold out the show…38 originals in all. The proceeds go towards my parents memorial fund which provides scholarships to kids at my old parish school. Poor neighborhood but a good Catholic school. I paint to relax from doing surgery during the day. Keep up the great work.

    GV, Thank you for offering and reviewing the 95 Ferriere. I have read about good things about this wine but it has very limited availablity in the USA. I beleive the greedy ‘Roast Beefs’ drink them all. As usual you also have a great price so I’m looking forward to my order.
    My female dog likes to steal the corks of the bottles I’m drinking and chomp them down. You should see one of those once they’re uncork’d at the other end. Not to worry I won’t send you any pictures.
    I’m a Bartender and I always pull the foil sleeves off wine bottles except the heavy foil ones you can cut your hand up pretty bad trying to force one of them off. How can I request some wristbands with my wine orders? Cheers.

    Whenever possible now I pull the foil right off the bottle.

    QOTD: This weekend I consumed far too much wine with my wife and neighbors on Friday night, Saturday the same neighbor and I traded off helping one another with some house jobs, then Sunday had a family dinner (where I brought the wine) with my wife’s family for Passover. Next weekend its my family for Easter and I supply with the wine for that one too

    Working saturday and playing golf Sunday and yardwork. Nothing exciting. The oak monster lives at my house and I keep trying to kick him out but my wife drags him in by the heels and perches him at the dinner table. Can this thing be killed?

    Gary, have you seen the show on the travel channel where the guy goes all around the world eating wierd stuff? What wine would you drink with grubs? suspect a Sancerre but that would just be my preference. Actually am not a fan of Uni, tastes like slimy coffee to me.

    One thing that would be interesting would be to film you doing tastings for the store when you decide what wines to carry. Talk about thousands of wine! And in that vein, when are you going to show your Bordeaux footage?

    Uni is great, beating hearts hmmm but am willing to try it. I’m Hawaiian - so if its slower than me, I’ll usually eat it! My local sushi chef treated me to sea slug and eel. I paired that with a nice guvertz. What a match, but I wonder if a pinot blanc would have been more stupendous. I always rip the foil off and not ashamed to do it.

    Oakmonster v. Iron Shiek in a “no holds barred”……who wins???

    Keep up the comedy, and try the veal!

    As a half-Japanese American living in Japan I was psyched to hear Gary mention his love for the uni. Uni (sea urchin) rocks the house. If seafood/sushi ain’t your thing cool, but if you’re a sushi fiend and you haven’t had uni then you’re missing out. It’s not for all, but that leaves more for the rest of us. Just the word is funky awesome… uni uni uni.

    What about getting some Vayner-wallets Gary? I’m sure I speak for many Vayniacs when I say my wallet has taken some abuse after watching WLTV. In a good way that is!

    Friday: Changed the wine world a little bit by hosting Wine Night with friends and serving the four Rieslings you featured a month or two ago. Paired with good Chinese. Great stuff.

    Saturday: Worked out, attended U of Texas spring football game, went to friend’s three year old’s birthday party which was mostly watching basketball and playing washers, saw The Bottle Rockets (great Missouri rock band).

    Sunday: Slept in, shopped for lawnmower, watched this episode.

    The Scotch tape is my favorite thing in this entire episode.

    The chair looks like the crap’s ass, mentioned previously in the week.

    QOTD: Anderson Valley, with an unfortunate detour through the Alexander Valley. Finally smelled pickle juice.

    QOTD: We brought CJ for a return visit to Georgetown Univ. Great weekend in Georgetown /DC…standing at the top of the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at night w/ the monument reflecting across the “Forrest Gump” pool is one of my favorite places in the world.

    QOTD - in Africa at the moment, taking anti-malarials. Anti-malarials that make me have really weird dreams. Now I’m bound to have a semi-dirty one about a bikini-clad oakmonster…. thanks Gary

    Hmmm… Question for you, G… Were you in a fraternity in college? Watching this episode, I just had an epiphany. I had always thought that fraternities were a big, idiotic waste of time, and an excuse for stupid jocks to get wasted as often as possible. But I just realized something! The hazing rituals do serve one very important, educational purpose… They prepare people for some of the freakish, absolutely disgusting, ‘delicacies’ that society has to offer out in the ‘big boy’ world! Some examples: Caviar (fish eggs), Escargot (snails), Uni (sea urchin), and what??? A bullfrog’s beating heart with chopsticks??? Crimeny!!! That’s a new one on me!!! *shudder* What the heck is wrong with you people???

    QOTD: Absolutely nothing!
