QOTD: If i have a bottle open and not watching TV or with friends then i do sometimes watch WLTV. Also sometimes watching it can make you want to pop a cork or crack a stelvin!

QOTD: I also usually watch (OK, mostly just listen) at work, so no. I do sometimes when I’m at home, but even there, not usually. I drink wine over dinner or dessert 97.62% of the time.

Hey there G. Just going through the archives and realized I had not tried a Cote Rotie. Will definitely now!

QOTD: I always have a glass while watching WLTV. Normally after work, I pop a bottle and pour a glass of wine, let it sit, play with my German Shepherd, then go hit the gym, come home, cook a nice dinner, have my wine with dinner and watch WLTV. Always makes for a great ending to the day. Cheers!

Fish cheese!? No thanks, id be gaging. I have to make a plum sauce at work and it gets fish oil in it…. YUCK! I cant stand the smell. It probably harks back to when I was in 3rd or 4th grade and ate some dried squid. Fucked up my fish palate forever, I think. Ive seen the Cote-Rote wines in stores before but didnt know a thing about them, thanks again for hammering some knowledge into my brain. QOTD: I watch at all times of the day since Im trying to catch up to the current episodes, so I usually dont plan a wine pairing with the show.

Gary came out big for this one and I just don’t taste what he’s talking about. I thought it had a flat bitter cherry taste to it, with a sour dirt undertone – I threw away half of it. It may be just that this winemaker’s sensibility doesn’t agree with my palate, as I have had several poor to lackluster bottles from Guigal and don’t plan on buying any others.

Dang right I drink wine while watching.

As a matter of fact, I had the Espelt Saulo last night while watching, and I gotta say, our pallets didn’t jive on that wine. No biggie, I’m going to roll into a bottle of Terlato & Chapoutier Shiraz/Vio this weekend. So I watched this episode to see what I was missing out on by not buying the $55 Guigal.

Excellent – a REAL Cote-Rotie episode, although I have to admit, whenever I hear Cote-Rotie, I think of “Sir Gary”.

QOTD: If I watch WLTV at home in the late evening, then I am often sipping some wine. However, I often watch in airports, in a hotel room, or at work during lunchtime and the wine option is, um, not available.

Wow. Microformats appeared on this site Kudos for that!

QOTD: Not every single time, but most of the shows, I do enjoy with a glass of wine.

QOTD- YES! My own Finger Lakes Vincent maybe a Cab Frrrrrrunk from Brickstone Vinyards with a Beemster cheese WITH WLTV.
Need to check out a Cote Rotie after I fill my tank and pay the phone bill.

Boooh yeah THUNDER and another exciting EP! We are all about the Cote Rotie and Hermitage. Just can’t afford to drink them very often. Gary I fully appreciate your comments on Guigal. They are one of those that people love to bash because of their high volume production, but still is one of my all time favorites because the wines generally show so well — from entry level CdR through CDP up to Hermitage and Cote Rotie. Hopefully some day I have a chance to try one of the single vineyard La la’s from a classic vintage.

QOTD: Sometimes. Tonight it was a 2005 Littorai Pinot Noir Les Larmes Anderson Valley. You are a visionary. The future is WLTV. I’m convinced that it will one day rival the traditional networks and cable channels.

I’ve been dying to try some cote-rotie for a long time know. The price just kind of holds be back. Now at least I have some guidelines to use. It’s so weird to me that syrah can be so earthy and austere in the rhone, and make these nuclear fruit bombs in Australia. I know you’re probably freaking out with the vikings rolling the jets tonight.

Cotes du Rhone is fabulous in 2003, so heads up for that. Question of the day: of course I always drink wine with Winelibrary-TV Tonight a simple 1996 Bordeaux. Aged well, but I am running out of them.

QOTD – 50/50 – depends on time of day.
