I used to like a rose called Chateau Brissac – haven’t seen it around in a long time. Also hope you don’t get sick with the dimes in the wine – or did the alcohol kill the germs?

QOTD: Enjoying life without work for a few months (summer vacation), going to Italy for a few weeks, possibly making a weekend trip to Sonoma, and going to a friend’s wedding near Lake Tahoe. And hopefully enjoying lots of great wine in our newly landscaped backyard!

I like the new format!

Solid episode. I absolutely love when you hate the wine, those are my favorites. I thought that bottle looked just like Voss and apparently tasted worse.

Good show, love the new format. I no longer have to strain my eyes at 2am when I usually watch. I love that rose, we are selling it a lot at the wine shop I work at. Who thinks that Voga stuff is good? Elena Walch Pinot G. kills that and Santa Margherita hands down.

QOTD: The Garden is all set up for lots of Organic veggies and Herbs. The grill is going to get a workout. Also some camping in Ohio wine country mixed with some fishing on lake erie is the next trip.

Gary,
I think I feel a little out of place. All the viewers seem to be married and have children. Whats a 21 year old to do with years of experience in the industry?

Oh I forgot to comment on the site. I LOVE IT!! Much nicer, better format.

Thanks for all the work that you all do to bring us WLTV.

Gary,

I liked this episode, but I’m not sure on the cat pee adjective. It brings back memories of trying to get that horrible aroma out of my carpets when we bought a house from a cat owner. You never know how you’re going to describe a wine and nobody does it quite like you do. Always interesting.

Anyway, I love white wines,especially a somewhat sweet Reisling or an ice wine.

QOTD: Not sure as of yet. I hope were moving. Have a great weekend and congrats to Erik & Amy.

Hay Gary – I know people give you grief about pronunciation (rightly!), so here is another one: “Polish” as in ‘the people from Poland’, not “Polish” as in the stuff you shine your furniture with! In South Australia many areas now in the heartland of wine-making were first settled by Europeans – as distinct from the British – and “Polish Hill” certainly refers to Poles (ie, people from Poland, not glorified posts!)

QOTD: Gettin’ married! :O !

man, those guys who requested that “PGC” review must be hurtin’! Anyway, couple things: Are you that it’s “POLISH” Hill (as in the Eastern European country!). Could you add another dimension to your reviews, such as sweetness and dryness? Sweet up front, dry on the finish? I’m just sayin’. Oh, and cool about Cork’d, but brothah, you gotta pony up too! Let’s see YOUR stash on the site–what’s in YOUR cellar??! Again. I’m just sayin’, yo. Great show. . .

Is it just because summer is coming or is there resurgence in RosÃ© wines? Everywhere I look on the web and written media someone is reviewing a RosÃ©. No complaints (I had a great Malbec RosÃ© a few weeks ago) Iâ€™m just curious if this is a seasonal thing or swing in the US market.

2Â¢: Iâ€™ll be glad to add my comments daily, itâ€™s just that sometimes I canâ€™t watch the episodes until a day or two later. Does that still help you?

QOTD: Iâ€™ll be working to pay off my property taxes, but Iâ€™ll still enjoy a glass of wine each day!

the Voga is like the student who spells his name wrong on the ACT and gets counted off for that….it’s that remedial (so it appears). good show though. i’m kinda the opposite from who you were callin out. i get overwhelmed in the discussion boards but have posted on the episodes more regularly (starting to atleast). keep up the stellar work and i’ll try to make the jump over with the big dogs here soon.

GV, giving you my 2 cents…

Great show as always, summer whites? ok, some of the wines look really nice, how about some summer reds now?

I’ll be looking into Cork’d!!

Yes, summer is almost here!

What’s up with rose lately?
Everyone is talking about it.
Even the latest WS is dedicated to it.

Summer… summer… summer…

I guess I have no plans. Hide inside with my air conditioner blasting on full? Perhaps a zoo visit?

Great show, I am new… found my way here from Diggnation.

GV,
I can’t possibly read all 230 comments because I’ve still got an episonde or two to watch tonight, but I do have to say that this episode had a deep-seeded truism within:

Money does NOT make anythign in life better. Even bad wine. And it certainly doesn’t make anything in life that matters better.

Nice job!
I’ll take a t-shirt, but I will never say ‘dat.’ So I guess I’ll have to pay for it.

Elliot Essman is right! Drunk! Don’t let the stigma of alcoholism get in the way of proper conjugation of verbs!
