Nice ep. Another grape that I was not aware of. Gonna have to recheck Jancis Robinson again. I do not recall her mentioning this grape.

QOTD: Ironman, Captain America, Dr Doom, Thor (bringing the thunder?), or Lancelot Link? The memories.

QOTD: How could it be anyone other than Superman? Tall buildings in a single bound. By the way Gary, excellent Von Erich wrestling reference..thought you were going to break out with the iron claw as a tribute. Gotta love what this vlog exposes us to in terms of wine types. It is yet another I need to seek out.

Favorite superhero has to be Supes himself, the Big S. Even though he’s probably the most boring, he would be the most fun to have his powers. Can’t wait for Superman 3: Superman vs. The Oak Monster! Because you, and a little bit of stuff that has nothing to do with wine, and me, … we’re changing the wine (and other stuff) worlds, aren’t we?

Spiderman, however I did not like any of the movies I also really like Dr. Doom but he was not a hero, haha. I mixed it up this last weekend I served a Austrian wine and a wine from Sicily .

Big G. I’m hitting you for the Second time today, because I didn’t leave the QOTD. Green Lantern all the way Not some of the spin offs, but Hal Jordan baby!
In brightest day, in blackest night no evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evils might, beware my power “the Green Lanterns light”.

Gary when are you going to do an episode on wine from different planetary systems or galaxies???

This is completely off topic, but when the hell are you going to do a Southern Rhone Episode? Most notably CDP. I think Southern Rhone has some of the most interesting wines at reasonable costs.

What a fun episode! You always break us into different varietals, and that’s a lot of fun. I commend you for your incredible effort of leaving so many episodes recorded for us. You deserve a lot of love, Gary, and a lot of credit. I enjoy wine challenges and taste offs. Do more of those, Gary. QOTD: AQUAMAN! BTW, snakes do swim in the ocean. In fact, they’re prolifering.

QOTD: Buffy

Nice to know there’s other whites from Italy, yay! And that it’s not the same as Tokai from Hungary because that’s exactly what I would have thought and hence probably never try. Clarity!

QOTD: My fav was always Daredevil but I did really dig The Thing too!

A little shout-out to the flying von Erichs… nice. QOTD: Rorschach from Watchmen. Not actually a ’super’-hero, but he has — how you say? — terroir.

Although The Tick is pretty boss — good call, Netmynder.

QOTD – Lots of ‘em when I was a kid — Captain Marvel, Superman, Batman, Plastic Man, Wonder Woman, Mighty Mouse, The Phantom, Mandrake the Magician…..

Later on, I fell in love with Lindsay Wagner as The Bionic Woman.

Some years after that, I passed her on an escalator – my heart started pounding all over again.

QOTD: Green Lantern. He’s got a frackin ring (read “commitment to truth and justice”) that can produce any damn thing the man wants. Gotta love that. Plus he’s juuuust pus..wimpy lookin enough for us to believe that if we had a super magical ring we could become him too.

Coming out of lurker status… I’m a HUGE X-men fan, so this is tough. I’ve been battling between Nightcrawler and Wolverine, but I’ve got to go with my man Wolverine. Gary, love the show, you make finding new wine enjoyable. Keep it up.

QOTD – Lawrence Taylor, andif you don’t think he is a super hero ask Joe Theisman.

I have an Italian Buddy who says Tocai Friuliano is the best wine in Italy. Honestly, I have never had it but it is on the list.

Easy – Superman – I kept hoping he would swoop in and kill the bad guy in the Texas Chain Saw Massacre movie. Never did. Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…

Fun episode — you’re holding up well, GV. I’ll have to look for some Tocai Friulano to try.

QOTD: The Tick. Spooooooooooon!! (and yes, I have action figures)

QOTD: I think it would have to be Hellboy. Wierd and disturbing, but as played by Ron Perlman, sort of riveting. I think about him from time to time.

Tried an Insolia a couple of months back. I liked it. it would have paired nicely with salmon or chicken for me.
QOTD: Spider-man. A regular guy during the day with everyday problems that puts himself on the line everytime he puts on the mask. With great power, comes great responsibility. Although Spider-man 3 was that good. Spider-man 2 is one of the greatest superhero movies ever.

QOTD: Batman. I like the fact that he has no supernatural powers, yet he still is willing to risk his ass for the well-being of Gotham’s denizens.
