   Groundbreaking EP Gary. Love the pelting fruit on the perfume sprayers. QOTD: We invariably drink wine throughout the dinner period, and finish after the meal, so I guess the percentage would be about 70% with food.

   The breakdown is probably 60% with food and 40% without… SS Chris… I owe you one the score sheet is big for me. Thanks for keeping that going! Is there anyone interested in an episode where we learn about the benefits of decanting? I’d like GV’s take on how to decide about decanting a wine you haven’t had before.

   Thanks for introducing us to a new, better Chard. I may have to start drinking it again. QOTD – 90% food, 10% no food.

   80% without food / 20% with food.

   I do love the “whether you like it or not” at the end of your sign-off as a permanent staple on the show. Keep it real and stick it to the (few) whiny nay-saying complainers who have criticized this show… whether they like it or not.

   QOTD: I’m probably a 60% with food, 40% without food type of Vayniac.

   QOTD: 90 with/10 without

   PS– I almost always drink at least half a glass of the wine before eating though.

   I’m very happy you did this episode. I appreciate a traditionally oaky California Chardonnay when I taste one for being well-made, but generally don’t enjoy it much. I have this problem: I don’t like my wine to taste like butter! Big Chablis fan. Will definitely give the four vines a try soon.

   Regarding sniffing, I recently stuck my nose so deep into a glass of red (Tempranillo I think) that I actually inhaled the wine by accident, then sneezed red wine all over my shirt. I had to explain that one to my wife.

   80 percent with food, 20 without.

    QOTD: Typically, 100% of Chardonnay with food, though I enjoy un-oaked chardonnays alone. Otherwise only 30% with food, 70% without.

    Great to see naked chardonnays shining and making a great splash! Wonderful show.

    Chris

    Probably 90% without food.

    QOTD: 70% with food, 30% without food

    Almost all my wine is without food. Even when I have wine with food, I taste the wine alone before the meal.

    Sorry I am late to the game G!
    I had to be on the road for work…….

    QOTD: 75% food, 25% with out

    Hehehe… when I saw the title for the show, the first thing that came to mind was “Naked Grape Wines”: http://www.nakedgrape.ca/ Thanks for yet another awesome show Gary!

    QOTD: 75% with food; 25% on its own. The ratio shifts depending on the time of the year, as I drink more white wine on its own during the warmer weather.

    Good show Gary,

    Wine with food 95% of the time, and I have wine at dinner 80% of the time. Actually, if I am drinking wine, I’m going to have a snack; especially if I’m tasting several wines.

    WOOOOOW. I take off for a day and come back to over 400 comments on WLTV.

    QOTD: 50/50. I love wine. I love food. I love wine with food. I love food with wine. I love wine without food. I love food without wine (Still looking for that good pairing with scrambled eggs. just kidding). I think that the two go hand in hand and have the ability to bring out the best in each other.

    QOTD: 85% with food, however i would like to increase the percentage of no food, as in a good glass of dessertwine on its own. Perhaps when my kids get past the baby-era.

    I actually met one really old-school wine-buff oenologue professor a couple of weeks ago. He claimed not to be ostentious about wine but he was an example of the definition of a wine-snob. He had never used Intenet but still thought that it was a bad place for experiencing wine. I instantly turned into an hermit. We’re changing the wine world.

    Beautiful show Gary! More to add to the list of wines to try this year…365.
    QOTD: wine had with food = 85%

    QOTD-100% of wine I start with food: 45% I finish with Food, 65% I sip long after the food is gone!

    Great show Gary-good fun and educational.

    Great show, looking forward to trying the Four Vines.

    QOTD: I’m a “with food” sorta bloke. Not including the wine I drink after the meal is over, I’d say 90% with & 10% without.

    Great show!

    I am a HUGE bouquet fan, Gary! As a matter of fact, I am usually the only one at a wine tasting that does a long sniffy-sniff before tasting the wine. If they only knew what they were missing…

    QOTD: About 95% with food, and 5% without. I strongly believe that the right wine really kicks up the flavors in a meal. Food also helps it not go to my head quite as fast…

    Susan

    Inching toward 700?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!??

    GAry, the Kim Crawford Unoaked Chard led me to the NZ Sauvignon Blancs which I now adore and are hands down my favorite whites. Thanks for the e mail. The more mango the better as I am also a mango-head

    QOTD: 75% with, 25% without
