Great show, love the trash talk about labels likewise with good labels bad wine. QOTD – Do a show on Chennin Blancs “The most under rated warm weather wine.”

Good show. Love your enthusiasm and I love the fact that there are solid, drinkable wines out there that everyone can afford. I sometimes despair when I see all of the wine at $30 – $40+ per bottle. Thanks for pointing out some of the good, inexpensive choices for us. Maybe all tasting should be done with a bag over the bottle to avoid allowing the label to interfere with your sensory evaluation??

QOTD 1 – I would like to see a comparison of well-made, (90 point?) red wines made from different grapes, perhaps syrah, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and zinfandel – all from the same region – California for example. How are the wines different? How are they similar? Are there regional characteristics imparted to all of the wines by the soil or the growing environment that influence, but don’t override the character of the grape used to make the wine. That sort of thing. This is something that appeals to the wine newcomer like me, but might be a little boring for the long-time Vayniacs.

QOTD 2 – I rarely feel in control.

First off, I didn’t have any problems viewing the show, second- great episode! It’s always nice to hear respectable wine connoisseurs showing appreciation and sharing their views on the good $10 bottles.

QOTD: I’d say either go with the South Africa episode (I’m partial to anything African as Kenya is my home) or else, perhaps an episode on how to do/plan/make/layout a home wine cellar (that is, if you haven’t done an episode like that yet).

And yes I feel poised and controlled.

Another great episode. Thanks as always for bringing value to the table with a diverse and interesting group of wines!

QOD: I’d love to see you taste some of the obscure-varietal wines that Tom Ciocco has covered on the WL Terroir blog recently: Godello, Ribolla Gialla, Baga, Chasselas, Fer Servadou, Blaufrankisch, and Marzemino. He even has links to them in the WL store on each post, so I know you’ve got ‘em:)

QOTD: I second the idea of a South African tasting. Get some nice minerally Sauv Blanc and Pinotage (which I don’t think Gary has reviewed before).

OR, how about an entire episode devoted to dessert wines like Sherry?

Another Top 100. Enjoyed the episode, but must say I haven’t done well with GV’s selections of recommended under 10$ wines. Batting about 250. So reluctant to try any of these — but I probably will.

how about and episode on beaujolais. i’m not a big gamay fan but i’ve heard some folks talking about the 05′ vintage. i would also love to see an episode on some of the dry reds and whites coming from portugal.

QOTD: Greek wines. I dare you to find a good one, cuz I sure haven’t.

Thanks for the budget buy suggestions!

hmm, for some reason, iTunes is downloading ep214 instead of today’s.

I subscribe through iTunes and am having a problem also. The file SAYS Episode 217 Gary Vaynerchuk’s Best Deals Going, but when I play it, it’s actually Episode 213. I’ll try watching through Viddler instead.

QOTD: I second the dornfelder episode suggestion!
I love learning about little-known grapes. Because you can be assured that I know next to nothing about them. The only reason I’ve even heard of Dornfelder was from the WL website. . .
Maybe you could call it a Wine Geek episode. Maybe get a fellow wine geek to cohost.. . .?

okay, two comments in a week,something must be wrong (or it was the personal email from Mr. V himself).

my idea for a show this week, value Brunello. Sure, it is relatively easy to find great BdM in the $50-60/bottle range. How about $20-40/bottle? Is that possible?

Gary, now that would be a great, value added show.

QOTD:

How about sweet wines other than sauternes and vintage port? Maybe a sticky from Australia, a Quarts de Chaume, a colheita, and a vin santo?

QOTD: Since this will only be the third time I ask, try the 4 YARRA YERING wines!!!!!!!!!! Thanks GV!

QOTD: How about a vertical tasting?

Maybe something that has really varied weather each year, or the first few years of a winery that’s just starting to “learn the ropes” or “find its niche”?

Why not try some mead tomorrow because you like honey so much.

WHAT?????
Allright maybe this is a case of bottle variance, but I could not disagree with you more on the Sunday Mountain S.Blanc. I tasted this as it was making its first entrance into the North Carolina market, my experience was over the top acidity with a full on load of urine. I’d like to say maybe it was corked but that’s a little difficult, unless Stelvin himself was involved. Anyway its a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

QOTD:Spectator’s Critics Darlings Pinot Noir:Kosta Browne,Siduri, Chasseur,and Shea. Come on G-Man you know you wanna. Let’s do in the hype together. Have us all ask ourselves is it worth it?

QOTD: Its gotta be the big berry jam fest with a medley of syrah fruit bombs

How about an episode on wine from Spain, I am not sure if they make white wine too but that would be interesting. I would like to break into Spanish wine but don’t know a lot about it so that would be nice. I will not be heart broken though if you do it on other stuff though. This was a great episode, it was rainy out and it was nice to curl up to the computer and watch another great wltv show.

Third time is the charm, able to view another great episode. I like the topic today of very affordable wines.
QOTD- Grenache! I have been drinking alot of grenache and grenache blends in the last month or so, I would like to know more, or you could just suggest some and I will probably end up ordering them.

Gary, I would love to see you try some nice 2005 Pinot’s. Maybe some run the gammit from Santa Rita Hills all the way up to Oregon. Grab a Sea Smoke, Siduri, Patz & Hall and a Kosta Brown, let us know how the 05’s are doing. Or, do a Cali Cabernet 2004 tasting, let us know your thoughts on that wonderful vintage. Maybe go from a $20 bottle to a high end guy (or gal) like a Caymus or PiÃ±a, something 92+ WS. That’d be rad. Or even better, show us MORE footage of your Bordeaux trip and do some barrel tastings!!!!!!! I liiiike, veery niiiiice (BORAT).
