QOTD: Small cellar means my pea brain can still keep track of my inventory. I would love to have the space and funding to grow beyond my own memory, though. Besides, my wife doesn’t like this tracking method. She knows my kids’ T-shirt and underwear sizes, but she doesn’t like having to ask me about what wine we have on hand.

GV, I just watched this episode for the first time, guess I’m a little behind the power curve … however, I am shocked SHOCKED at your question of the day. During the entire time I was watching this particular exact precise episode I swear that the inventory gears in my head were cranking & I was wondering how YOU maintain your inventory. My business is designing custom databases, and I was imagining all of the schwag-o-licious ways a custom wine database (WLTV in particular, of course) could come together for maximum cha-ching factor! What are the chances that, over the course of the same identical video, you and I would independently contemplate inventory-tracking. Fascinating. In any event, amazing QOTD, fab episode as always, dynamite crowd, it’s 2am and I should be sleeping but instead I’m enjoying WLTV archives. Sweet! Now, if you ever get around to it, here is my QOTD: when you open a mediocre (i.e., just a hair shy of serviceable) bottle at home to drink by yourself, do you keep it around for a few days to finish it?

GV. props for dropping some mad wine knowledge! As a relative wine neophyte, you have done much to bring me along and at least help me to have more fun with my wine adventures. Keep it coming!

Seghesio is hands down my favorite Zinfandel. I recently attended the Zin Festival in SF and tried to find contenders with no avail. Close seconds are Green & Red, St. Francis, Sones Cellars. I am usually partial to the Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley and/or Old Vine Zins–what can I say, I like big, I like fruity, but not too sweet Zins. Is it me, but were the Zins in 2004 much better?!!!

By the way, Gary, this McManis Petite Sirah is off the hook for the price point! Go SXSW!

GV,
Great episode. Wife just mentioned last week her favorite wine is Zinfidel. She had never told that to me before and I had never bought any since. Will have to treat her to a couple of bottles.

QOTD: Used the Personal Wine Curator and find it very time consuming to enter bottles in the inventory and I only have about 60. With so many people talking about Cellar Tracker, I’m going to have to check it out.
