QOTD— I would run through the woods naked and would be yelling telling everyone about WLTV……..

I’ve had the Montes and the Silva and hands down the Silva beats the crap out of the Montes.

Gary, You NEED to come to Virginia and do a show. I already told you… I’ll hook you and the wife up with great spa packages on the house. Please pretty please….it would be fun! Besides, you love to give your adoring fans new and interesting things to try, right?

QOTD: Well, my husband and I want iphones pretty badly BUT I am waiting till the next generation so all the bugs are worked out and some of the hype goes away. In the meantime, I will just be green of all those who have them!

I’ve got to keep reminding myself that a value is not a value if you don’t enjoy the wine. Usally an extra 5 bucks is well worth it. When you do find one like the Babich SB, its like hitting the lottery. Thanks for that pick.

QOTD: I would love to buy one at 95% off on the secondary market when people discover that they suck…and if you drop it once it will shatter…and that they are stuck with 100 dollars a month for 2 years…..and that the battery life is approximately 22 minutes!!!

Another great show. You’re a lucky bastard getting an iPhone. Some good themes lately, though I’d really like to see another obscure varietal/region show (it seems you haven’t done one in a while). Perhaps Valle d’Aosta or Jura? Seems like they have good values coming out of them lately.

Also, you’re correct, Flight of the Conchords is awesome. The best is when Jemaine sings “Can someone please remove these cutleries from my knees.” You should have them guest on the show and do a New Zealand tasting:)

Interesting episode. I have definitely looking for a few more value wines from areas of I have not explored before.

QOTD: I would sign a two year phone plan and at most pay $100. I would defenitely say that the iphone is a modern masterpiece of technology and design. But I don’t have much use for using the internet on my phone or listening to itunes on my phone. At least not enough for that much money.

I am sourounded by computers and technology most of the day. The few minutes I am away from it is precious, I don’t want emails and viral videos interputing that. But maybe that is me.

QOTD: What would I do for an iPhone. Um, laugh at the people who clamoring for it since these same features have been available for years. Apple just seemed to market it. Have fun…..today’s toy is yesterday’s technology.

hot chocolate & a few squished lightning bugs on your hand… I sense a t-shirt design

QOTD: as long as it didn’t include paying $500, jail, or losing my job, I’d accept a dare

“nobody critiques the pizza you eat?” B.S.! I live in Chicago! We have the best pizza on the planet.

Have been looking for a good example of Carmenere – will seek that out, thanks.

QOTD: nothing. Keep ‘em. I’ll pick one up for free next year as part of some new offer from ATT, T-Mobile, etc.

Good episode Gary – what happened to the lighting, though?

Hey, when are you going to taste Virginia wines? White Hall Vineyards has been rocking the house the last few years.

QOD – Don’t want one.

Is it just me or is Kahuna just a little out of line? Bi-polar perhaps. YO GV!!!! That clown is dissing you.Ban his ass!!! He probably makes these posts from his blackberry!!! Or maybe he thinks he is the OAK MONSTER!!!! And he is tired of being picked on! qod.I will wait for the iphone2

QOTD: an about face and march out the door, the latest trends and fads do little for me. I’m not one of the “me too” crowd, I’m still using a portable cd player every day. All I own is an iDONTREALLYCARE attitude for Apple stuff in general, the world is already too dumbed down and I find pandering to the lowest common denominator insulting and condescending.

Of course, my outlook doesn’t force me to make value judgements on others either, everyone’s experience is different and everyone has something different to float their boat, I don’t judge nor care to be judged.

(P.S. – I THINK I’M TURNING INTO KAHUNA WITH TACT!!!!!!!!!!!)

QOTD; I’d destroy it in no time, maybe if I was a suit … Happy Independence Day!

What am I going to do with an iPhone? I can get a case of good Bordeaux for that! Actually, I can get a case of cheap Bordeaux too, probably, and I love me some cheap Bordeaux. And by the time it worked for VZW anyway, everyone would have one, it’d cost $50 and the Bordeaux would be ready to go.

Speaking of which, there’s an idea: great under-$20 Bordeaux. Can’t never have enough of that. Maybe even the white kind.

right on Kahuna! people are sheep.
I second the shout out to Mike and Sue, Thursday was FAB

QOTD: I’d buy wine instead. I’ll buy it when the upgraded model comes out and they’ve worked out the bugs and it’s on special from ATT for $150.00.

QOTD: save money for it. What do I want out of a phone? Long battery life and a great signal worldwide. I’ve gotten pretty close… so I won’t be switching just yet. Maybe if some amazing third-party apps come out for it…

Cool show and hope to get ou to the Wine Library on the 5th.

QOTD: nothing at all

qotd-absolutely nothing. waiting for prices to drop and potential glitches to be fixed…already heard the OS-x system drains the hell out the battery. Money better spent on wine, just like so cal and others said!

Yay! SF glass!

Gary, I went out and bought the June 25 issue of TIME, but I can’t find you in it. Am I blind, or did I get the wrong issue??

QOTD: My opinion of the iPhone is mixed. In a way, I’m indebted to the thing for supporting my family (my step-dad worked on some of its patents), but I’m not really very eager to own one. Of all the cell phones out there, it’s really the only one I’d want, but I’m not a big fan of cell phones in general. In fact, for now, I’d rather not have a cell phone at all. So, in short, I wouldn’t do much of anything for an iPhone.

QOTD: I would rather buy more wine

There isn’t much I wouldn’t do for and iPhone, probably wouldn’t trade my 23 year old bottle of pappy van winkle.
