HEY G.V.

WEll i love the integration with Cork’d. I have been a member for a little while and I think it is definitely a good thing.
Like the episode today, my favorite Rose recently has been one from Sullivan Vineyards in NAPA, called Pink Ink, great wine and a cool bottle.
I am psyched to try the Riesling, both my wife and are big fans of good dry or off dry ones.

QOTD – Next week we are headed to Key West for my sisters wedding
the end of June we are headed to my sister in laws wedding in Italy. We are staying for a week and hitting the wineries of the Piedmont which is where the Italian family lives. Pretty sweet huh.

Later

QOTD ~ Summer internship in investment operations. Not wine ops.

What did you expect from the Voga, it looks like the bottle my barber keeps the dirty cobs and scissors in.

Great show! I really liked the ugly fruit reference. Have you ever tried Budah’s hand (a purfumey citrus)? I keep hoping it will turn up in a wine someday.
QOTD: Starting a new job.

What is it about human nature that loves the slam?
I’ll remember your Voga blast long after the other 3 are forgotten — in fact, I’ve already forgotten ‘em.
But your 48-score Voga knock actually makes me wanna taste it — could it really be that bad?
Fun ep, Gar’ – and the new look is lookin’ GOOD!

Reaction to the Voga was just awesome.

I don’t know if you’re done an episode on this, but could you do an episode on “common” wines or wines that people first buy when they first get into the world of wine?

QOTD: I will spend most of my summer work in and around the house I just bought.

Great episode Gary. I am very excited about getting my Cork’d account up and running. Also interested in trying Rose’s that do not suck.

QOTD : A few short trips touring the wine country in Washington and Oregon, and then firing up the chain saw. Been 15 years since my yard was landscaped and it’s time for some demo work on the overgrown greenery.

Loved the episode. Each day I try to read your expressions, Gary, as you’re tasting the wines and trying to guess what you’ll say. Can’t say as I often get it right, but with the larger format, it’s a lot more entertaining. Thanks

And speaking of entertainment … a note to all new Vayniacs. Make use of the episode archives. I suggest watching them in reverse order from newest to oldest, at least until you get back to that classic episode from 01.08.07 (#161 … sad Gary).

I just had the 2005 Domaines Ott Les Domaines Rose this past weekend. I first tasted it ice cold from the fridge and I didn’t like it very much. As it aerated and warmed up to room temperature the fruit was much more evident and by the last sip I really liked it.

Great show!!! I saw that Voga in the store and was thinking about trying it out. Guess it’s a good thing I didn’t.
QOTD: Taking more classes and trying to find a job cause I’m poor.

Great episode.

QWTD – Sanding the deck, Playing some softball, and preparing for #2.

GV – I bought a case of “Sunday Mountain” and really enjoying it. Lemony!,(and I though I caught some vanilla at the very very end, wowwed me.) Should I buy 1, 3, or 12 of Domaine Ricard Touraine Blanc Pierre A Feu?

QOTD: Being a bachelor with my dog while my lady goes to Spain for a month. I figure we’re gonna live it up: spittin’ and fightin’, drinkin’ and cursin’. There’s also some chatter about going with the fella’s down to Georgia to watch the ALMS Petit LeMans in October.

Gary, great episode. I like your honesty, it’s hard to find honest people these days especially on the net. You gotta tell me about your discussion with coach Vermeil, where did you meet him? What did you guys talk about? Wine or football?, I mean c’mon now. QOTD: A mixture of madness, Before I’m back in the US on July 25th, 5 engineering exams, Paris, Venice and Croatia baby. Not to mention all the cheap spanish wine I can get my hands on. Oh what a summer.

VOGA in a strange bottle without a vintage? Shouldn’t that have been an obvious sign that it was fake wine? It’s really fun to watch when WLTV rips apart a bad effort.

QOTD: Chillin’ and grillin’

Enjoyed the show. I always thought that Voga looked kinda funny. Don’t know how sanitary it is to throw change in your wine, but I guess the alcohol kills all the germs. When are y’all going to start shipping wine to us folks down here in GA?

QOTD: – Grilling and drinking wine.
