Thanks for another entertaining episode. I was a little surprised at your evaluation of the 2006 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. I’ve drank this wine (chilled) and found the predominant taste to be a delicious peachy flavor. I really enjoyed it. I guess a warm bottle tastes somewhat different than a chilled one, or grapefruits are starting to taste like peaches to me as I approach 60. Maybe you could rate some white wines both at room temperature and chilled. Might be interesting. Looking forward to trying the 2005 Domaine De La Garrigue Cotes Du Rhone Cuvee Romaine and the 2003 Rudi Schultz Syrah.

QOTD: I guess I’m a sneezer. I’ve recommended Wine Library to most of my wine drinking friends and family members.

Sneeezer….! I’m your biggest fan out here in SoCal…and sharing the news.

..and for comment 89. I reviewed The Prisoner. Lock it back up. It’s a ZIN that really wants to be a Zin but who everyone else doesn’t want it to be a zin…so they’ve added the other 4 juices. I’m not a fan. I have 3/4 bottle vacummed as I enjoy the 98 Parusso Barolo. Now THAT”S wine…!

I’m a lurker (well I was) and a sneezer. Usually I watch you in my video aggregator so no comments and what can I say, I’m lazy. The sneezer part, I’ve told several people about your program when they ask me about how I inform myself about wine. I’m very new to wine and I enjoy your observations. You’re an enganing host and very, very well informed. Thanks for all of your efforts.

Well, this is the first comment I’ve posted and I haven’t told anyone else about your show, but I only discovered you yesterday. So what does that make me? BTW, the Cotes du Rhones sounds interesting. I’m not afraid of a little paint thinner.

QOTD – I’m a hermit crab lurking behind a rock and guess what? I have allergies to se weed so I’m sneezing. A lurking sneezing hermit.

btw – Donkey Kong?

Parker misses wines too. Sometimes, it’s the blond in the low cut red dress that catches the attention when everyone else is in classic black.
huh?

A remarkable effort! Sort of like eating some ladybugs that died in a bucket of paint remover you found in some trash on the jersey turnpike after mopping the blood off your face with a dirty sock that a cat peed in after a gang fight behind the pickle factory……..love ya GV!!

Thunder sneezer!

QOTD: I’m a little bit of a sneezer. I’ve shared the show with friends and a couple of clients. One in particular was so inspired by the way you do the video podcast, that he has started experimenting with his own show.

You know the new pirates of the caribbean movie to the end of the world…i think your getting to the end of my spectrum when it comes to describing a wine,Although my non wino roommate said he knew what a ladybug tasted like.LOL. QOTD-Hermit who sneezes on his friends occasionally, Garys all mine! haha

Great episode! I love not having a specific theme and just doing whatever you feel like. I suppose i’d have to be classified a hermit but i’m working my way out, i’m pretty new here. I’d share the love but I don’t have a single friend who’s into wine at all. I’m 25 and know a bunch of beer, old e, and grey goose drinkers that probably don’t even know what palate means. I’m hoping to meet some people here who share my enthusiasm for wine. I really love exploring the wine world and finding the things I love. I came across WLTV with a random google search and caught the decanting episode. From there i’ve learned so much and realized there’s a ton more to learn and explore. I can’t thank you enough for helping me find what has become one of my passions. Keep up the good work! Go Bucs!

Gary, you drink the whites at room temp? I definitely prefer mine coldish, especially Sauv Blanc. I’m going to ask Dr. Vinny who is right.
Sincerely,

King of the Lurking Hermits (sorry)

I’ve sneezed via e-mail to my work-based wine tasting group and to my fav’ wine store here in St.Louis, MO–and to my friends–but despite all my efforts, I am the only loyal fan out of everyone I’ve sneezed on. I pretty much lurk in terms of e-mailing Gary (I’ve never e-mailed Gary because I hate to bother him, he’s SO BUSY! but I e-mailed his sister in order to congratulate her, and she wrote me a nice personalized e-mail thank you note)

And, infrequently, I post a question in Ask WLTV or I write something in the WLTV Forum.

S n e e e e e z e r ! I pass on your site, most casually, to anyone who cares about wine. I think some are out there lurking now, GV.

What is this obsession with the HD-DVD code? You must have seen it with Charles Gibson on ABC.
QOTD: I’m a major sneezer. My boss almost fired me when I got my whole department hooked.

Somewhat of a sneezer, have told a few folks about WLTV, and some have even watched a few shows, but I don’t think they are the fan that I am. Also a hermit, as I’m trying to finish up my graduate degree and I just dont’ have time to read & post constantly!!

QOTD: I was a hermit for a long damn time, but I’ve become more of a sneezer in the past few months. I’ve gotten most of my closest friends fired up about WL, and sometimes I email links to recommended wines to friends. However, now that WL’s no longer shipping to Nevada, I’m not sure what I’ll become.
