HB to your Mom. QOTD – anyone.
BTW I defintiely enjoy old world style wines. You need to get more into the shop and try them on WLTV for us! :0

I love to drink wine with Rafaela (coment 75). I wish we could drink more and more.

QOTD: My Fiance, she is the only person who listens to me blab about the wine of choice.

My wife or my friend John. Great episode. I wish it were easier to come across good Bordeaux by just walking into a wine shop and grabbing one. But then…all good things are worth working for, right?

Gary,

Saw you Wednesday on Uncorked (MOJO channel) New York show. This may be old news but it was a surprise to me to be channel surfing and find this show. I see it is on again tonight at 11:30 ET and tomorrow at 10:30pm ET. I liked the over/under contest. Two out of 3 not bad!

QOTD: My middle son who likes watching WineLibraryTV!

Dan in Kansas

QOTD: My wife.

This show is having a profoundly negative effect on my bank account. 🙂

QOTD: My 9 year old daughter! She has the best nose of anyone I know and tells it like it is.

QOTD: My dad. A fellow novice who likes to enjoy it for what it is.

QOTD: It really don’t matter who’s there to drink wine with, I just love sharing with people. I will have to say though my gf, she’s been with me through it all and is learning a ton. Gary, you come a close second! LOL

And what the hell was with calling out Mott cause he was crying! LOL maybe girls looking for the sensitive type will start callign now!

My Girl DARCEY is hands-down my favorite person to drink wine with. She has a great palate, is always willing to try something new, likes what I like (which seems rare among wine drinkers … or is it?), and LOVES ME!

What more could I ask for?

Thanks Gary!

QOD – My neighbor. He’s providing a good challenge. He reeeeaaally wants to find that $6 wine that proves the bigger price tags are not worth it. So I try his “Pinot Evil” and then pour us a couple glasses of $20 Pinot with the price tag hidden. He’s slowly coming around. I look forward to the day his palette is developed enough to appreciate a 10 year old $50 Brunello.

Big Gary bringing the Thunder with The Bordeauxs. Nice! QOTD – My Wife of course! What? do ya want me to get in trouble and say my Buds? : )

My wife is my favorite person to drink wine with because we do everything else so well together. Her tastes and mine differ but we have worked through our wine differencees and enjoy going form winery to winery or just sharing a great bottle. We have a large wine tasting group that meets every other month and I learn a lot from them and enjoy their company as well but it isn’t the same.

Yes!! First an old world episode and now a Bordeaux!!! awesome! Thank You!

Happy Birthday to Mama V! And, here’s to many more! *cheers*

QOTD: Myself! 😀

I’m now convinced to grab the Ferriere that I’ve been walking past every week at my LWS, my wallet thanks you again, GV.

QOD: My fiance. Even though she says she doesn’t like wine, it always makes me chuckle when I pour something nice and her eyes widen a bit and she says, “Hey, this is pretty good. I think I can drink this.” I’m still searching for the bottle that blows her away and makes her a total convert, so I can do an evil cackle and say, “Told you so!”.

Love Bordeaux.

QOTD:
wife or myself!

QOD = My pops

Love the old world episode Gary. Keep them coming.
QOD: My girlfriend Ashley! I was BIG into wine and started teaching her, three months later her palate is better than mine. I’m so jealous

Great episode. Love Bordeaux, especially St Emilion. Looking to expand my horizons with Margaux, Pauliac etc.

Had the Chat Martinens on the possible list before the show … not anymore … deleted it after watching your comments / reaction. Trust your judgement after trying the Larmande 2001 based on your recommendation, it was great.Thanks !!

Already have the 2001 Ferriere on order so cant wait to get it. Might even get another.

First QOTD – easy answer…Mrs. Grasshopper!! We love to drink wine together..

Speaking of Grasshoppers…..Sensei, you equated old world wine to dirty grasshoppers…stepping on grasshoppers….tasting grasshoppers! DEAD grasshoppers……THE HORROR!!!!!

Just kidding…was pretty funny, still pushing for you to take a drug test! Especially if you are stepping on and then tasting insects!!!!…..:)

Love ya man!

Grasshopper

QOTD: That would be Badger Rick, my dearest husband. In fact, I don’t even open any bottles when he’s not home, since it’s just not the same.

Otherwise, there’s a motley crew of us who all seem to congregate at our local shop’s weekly tasting about noon every Saturday. It’s fun to share opinions and learn a thing or two. Just like we do here at WLTV!

QOTD: Becky! Great friend who enjoys a good bottle of wine. Helped me turn from the sweet wines and develop a taste for Merlot and Bordeaux.

QOTD: my girl. She is quite headstrong and never gives in to some connoiseur’s opinion. A few months ago she dunked a glass of La Mordorée 2001. She didn’t like it, that’s all and nothing was gonna change that, even all the other tasters going crazy. Love that.
