I like when he hits his glasses with the wine glass while smelling the wine! LOL

Bring on the alter-ego! Can anyone say Black Spiderman? Great episode, although I will have to wait for my wife to publish her research before we can afford them.
QOTD: 20% white, 75% Red, 5% heffevizen.

QOTD: I’d say 75-25 red-white. I’d drink more whites, but most of the family likes the reds. And I really like the pretentious Gary.

QOTD: Right now I’d say I’m pretty close to 50-50, mostly because I’m going through a pretty strong Viognier phase right now, and also rediscovering Petite Arvine. Usually it’s probably closer to 70% red 30% white, or 80% red 20% white during the winter.

point taken. Nice to see you mix it up.
QOTD – 93.76% red and 6.24% white. do the math, it works out.

Hilarious! Really makes you appreciate the “regular” Gary.

QOTD: Probably about 99% red and 1% white (I haven’t bought it, just tasted it)

Thanks for doing the Corton tasting that I have been waiting for since Wine Library TV started. I’m still looking for one that has a viscous mouth feel. Please let me know if you run across one. QOTD: At home its 50-50. My wife puts out a glass for me when I arrive home.She alternates the reds and the whites. It takes me 3 days to knock off a bottle. She only drinks a little because she knows her place. When we go to a restaurant that allows me to bring my own wine its almost only red; better chance for a match up. When we go with others I bring both. I usually bring wine for the owner of the restaurant. Its usually at least 10 years old but not my A list stuff. Jerry the 2THDR. I was away Friday so didnot see this until late Sunday.

ROTFLOL this is the best episode yet!

“Me, with a whole lot of ME, IM changing the wine world… AREN’T I!”

Oh and I’m about 2/3 red to 1/3 white.

QOTD: I’d have to say about 55% red, 5% rose and 40% white….all in all it depends on my mood…as for the show…a fun watch…

75/25 looking at the whole year.
would love to see sir gary and “jerk-off” gary square off in a french vs rest of the world varietal tasting.
given that this might cause some severe psychological damage, i’ll settle for seeing how sir gary ranks the rhone, loire, bordeaux and burgundy wines against each other. could imagine him reveling in the pinot and the bordeaux, while he pumps the loire whites through his bidet.

QOTD:
65/35 reds in the summer;
80/20 reds in the summer.

Enjoy the very excellent pipe. Nice touch.

I’m probably 75/25 in favor of reds. At home I’m about 50/50 since I eat more white wine friendly food. When I go out and order wine, I’ve gotta be at least 90/10 reds.

I tend to drink about 85% dry red, 10% dry white and about 5% mixed desert wines (mainly sauternes, auslese and port).

Great week of shows, just got caught up!!

QOTD: Used to be 99.9% red, these days it’s more like 70-red, 30-white, largely due to WLTV helping me expand my horizons. Thanks GV!!

Scottymatt
QOTD: 60% to 40% red to white in the spring/summer months (seasons), 90% to 10% red to white in the fall/winter months (seasons).
Great show Sir Gary-fantastic insight in a wonderous region!!!

QOTD: I am at 95 to 5 red to white at the moment, but trying to become more balanced…

Sir Gary,

An outstanding episode of Viniferous delights. I will endeavour to save my pounds and pennies to be able to afford some of these one day. Remember it’s easy to get pounds… you just have to divide that lowly dollar value by 2

Releasing hounds?, boating in the Himalayas?? OK, rolling with you so far….Yowzers?, nah, don’t think so.

QOTD – Probably on about 60% R & 40% W for drinking (70% 30% in the cellar).

QOTD: probably 30/50/20 red/white/rosÃ© on average for the whole year, white and rosÃ© mostly in summer, red mostly in winter.

Fingerlaker
QOTD: 97/3 reds to whites(mostly fingerlakes whites).

I forgot to tell you!
I’m a fan of “Sir Gary”.

MrTC
QOTD: 65% red & 35% white

There’s no theme to the reds, but in the white there’s a tendency towards sauvignon blanc and champagne (I live within 1-day round-trip distance from Reims).
