Classic episode. Should I be looking for free shipping on the Voss/Voga wine in the future? I know someone I’d like to send a case to.

This summer I intend to play softball as often as I can with my family, go to Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA (early August), watch lots of baseball, lose 30 lbs and drink enough wine to make me forget I’m 60.

OMG – I am dying over the Voss/Voga “wine-like” drink. “lets give it 50 points, it gets much for just being wine – wait lets score this one 48 points….” ) GV have to say I love when you taste horrid wines as it debunks the “seriousness & stuffiness” of wine tasting.

QOTD: I decided to take the summer off from school and enjoy the weather as I need to destress.

Breathe easy gary – here’s a comment. Good episode. High energy as usual.
Love Goya juices – enjoy the taste of “can”.
As for white zin . . . that’s what got many people started. An enjoyable, fruit forward wine without the astringent acidity of poorly made wines.

Man, that Riesling sounds awesome, and that Voss-lookalike Grigio sounds awesomely bad. Thanks for the whites, hopefully we’ll see variations on this theme throughout the summer. QOD: This summer it’s all work work work- making dreams come true (hopefully).

Sorry for my lack of comments lately. I was boycotting this area after the Jets traded up to take Darrelle Revis one pick before I thought the Steelers were going to get him.
QOTD: Hopefully spending lots of time with the family (including the in-laws)

I know that you often ask for suggestions for wines to taste and I think this recommendation may be something that can finally bring the New World fans and Old World fans together. Vayniacs unite!

GV – Best of luck to you in selling that VOSS cocktail.

QOTD:

Summertime plans include lots of baseball, travel, wine tasting, concerts, and being outdoors. But for the majority of the summer, I’ll be pushing pills at the Ã¼ber-hip Big K Pharmacy. Yeah yeah, I’ll be spending my summer at the local Kmart store,(do they still exist?!). If I see little punks bringing toys from the dollar store and trying to return them at my counter, I’m going to laugh and deny them of their $6 profit scheme…what kind of “kid” would do such a thing…Gary?

Gary, your show is awesome! My fiance got me into it and now I’m a fan. I love the summer whites theme. I drank a bunch of Gruner Veltliner in March (H&M Hofer) and it matched the season perfectly. A very springy wine in a big green bottle.

Question: How long do you recommend cellaring pinot noirs? We have a 1999 Husch Pinot Noir (Knoll vineyard) that I think we need to open soon. What is a good vegetarian food to eat with it?

Plus: We love Cork’d! Been on it a few months now and we have several reviews. I’m glad you got involved with it! Looking forward to good improvements.

cheers!

Ooo, a 48-pointer. I would buy that for someone I hate, but I don’t hate anyone that much. I hope your mouth isn’t permanently scarred.

My 2/10 cents:

- gotta agree w/ you (about girls that don’t wear makeup)

- I know it’s too late, but just for good measure… GIMMIE DAT T-SHIRT!!!

- you know, I’ll have a tough time giving you a full ten cents if you don’t do any more episodes this week

- QOTD: I’ll be spending my summer reviewing trigonometry, catchin up on my reading, and taking a social-science seminar class… and drinking wine, of course.

Yeah the forums are a bit difficult to find.

Awesome episode, I’ll bet $100 in nickels will get you even more comments.
VOGA, I’ll make sure to stay away from the crap, it’s probably a WAL-MART scheme to take over the wine world. The rest of the wines looked interesting.

I need to get aquainted with the cat piss.

QOTD: Sweating my ass off in Florida.

WOW! Having Vermeil on was cool, BUUUUT…..this was waaaaaaay better. Definitely one of the best I’ve seen.
1) I too love the pink.
2) I love when you hammer a crappy wine. Wow! Do the producers or distributors call and harrass you?
3) LOVE the cat pee. I just ordered a bunch of the Sunday Mountain Sav Balnc. (From wine library)
4) 5 minutes before you showed the t-shirt, my wife wined, “he’s really obnoxious. why do you watch that?” Hmmmmmm….is there a vaniak tatoo I can purchase??
5) I love corked and am delighted that you are expanding it.
Congrats.
QOTD: this summer…..I return to indentured serivtude (Surgery residency). My wine habbit will suffer. Ouch.

How did you know that my wife thought you were annoying? She still wanted to see what the T-shirt looked like and eves drop while I watch your show everyday.

QOTD: BBQâ€™s, coaching the kidsâ€™ soccer and baseball teams, swimming, golf, fishing, oh ya and drinking wine.

I think you are hurting for a link to the forums on the homepage. It is about time. Time to bring that community seamlessly onto the homepage. Come on, you can do it!

QOTD: This summer my girls (wife and 2 daughters) are going to stay with the grandparents in Los Angeles while I work, do some home projects and try lots of wine. I’ll be making a Wine Library pilgrimage while they are gone.
