QOTD: I’m looking most forward to having my girlfriend come down from Toronto next month. We’re going to have a little raspberry wine, have a nice dinner…

A WLTV first on this show: Gary DEMOLISHES a horrible wine. (I’m just sad it had to be a Pinot Grigio…)

Real comment: Do you think anything packaged like the Voga – weird bottle, weird closure – will ever be more than some wine-like beverage made for the Bartles & James drinker?

Don’t hold back, Gary. Tell us what you REALLY think about the Voga Pinot Grigio!

Wow, half a bottle of the “Pierre A Fen” to wash out all memories of the Voga? (next time use quarters, it couldn’t hurt).

QOTD – Stankin’ working, BUT, only 2190 days, or thereabouts until the youngest finishes college.

The wife doesn’t seem to find you too annoying but the dog puts her paws over her ears when you come on (she’s a lazy lab and can’t take all the excitement)

Don’t take this the wrong way but I think you’re cute too in a manly man sort of way NTTAWWT.

I agree with Colin, nice rinse after the Voga. Should have just got a new glass.

QOTD: work, basketball outside (hopefully), going to Italy in July for a week, drinking wine, love the rose, maybe decide to go into the wine industry?!?!

My two cents: Good episode, maybe due for a blind tasting episode on summer wines, or blind tasting episode on rose. Karantes Rose from Languedoc is excellent imo.

My 2 cents: I like pink stuff too.

Question of the day…. Hopin’ that summer in Northern England this year stays warm and dry enough for evening BBQs with plenty of Tempranillo Rose….

Just checking in and wow, I’ve been gone a couple days and the entire website improves! Looks good.

I’ll be back later to add my two cents regarding the reviews. Summer whites work for me.

Bought some of the Grosset and Ricard. Looking forward to trying both. I’m liking the new look of WLTV for sure. How about a sparkling wine or Prosecco espisode being that summer’s almost here?

Gary,
Fun episode. Great idea to do summer wines. Next time, can you do some Arneis? I think they are fantastic summer wines. Go great after a round of golf!
QOTD: This summer, it’s Hilton Head with the family, our Tour of NY (from NC to NY and back) and hopefully, lots of golf!!!
Got to go, I’m off to sign up on Cork’d.

QOTD: I am going to try my best to be playing a lot of b-ball and sand volleyball.

This episode is full of funny lines: Funk de funk, this wine is HORRENDOUS, good ol’ fashioned american currency, cat pee, and zingy, zangy, tangy, wangy.

Oh man, I commented three times already. Can we fill up our $.10 quota in one day?

And by the way my wife digs you and the show. We typically listen to them at home together. In fact we were trying to find the compilation show done my a fan of all your way out wine descriptions.

I know people use it, but I can’t stand that cat pee descriptive – everytime I think about buying a Sauvignon Blanc, I think cat pee, and put it back on the shelf!

QOTD: I am going to Mexico for vacation and drinking LOTS of wine.

Great episode! You really tore up that Voga wine. LOL, but that is exactly what is useful in the reviews. I am looking forward to seeing what comes with all the new integration. Thanks!
