QOTD: Ususally not as I tend to watch it in the afternoon – before I normally open a bottle. Sometimes when I’m catching up on episodes on the weekend, I do get to drink wine while watching.

1st – Happy Birthday to GregO! Cheers Mate! {glass lifted to the North}

2nd – Great Show Gary! As always informative and inspiring.

3rd – Come to Buffalo, go to Ontario and I am sure we will find a way to convene a quorum of Vayniacs. Cleveland will be represented.

4th – QOTD: more than 1/2 the time yes. Sometimes I watch while at the office, most often after the kids in bed. so yeah, wine is a factor.

QOTD: Never had a cote rotie, but someday when I make more money and my student debt is smaller. Sounds like something I would enjoy.

QOTD: I drink wine while watching WLTV like 25-30% of the time.

QOTD: nope. I have a few times when I had a leftover glass worth but that’s about it.

Gary- Cote Rotie sounds like another area I’ve never had but have to buy. Really great show Mr. VaynerChukin’

QOTD- At work, no. At home, pretty much always. Tonight it is the last glass of ‘03 Seghesio Zin Cortina after steak on the grill. Life is good!

QOTD: Definitely! I always save episodes to watch until the evening, after dinner. It’s part of the ritual for me!

QOTD: Depends on what time I watch it. Right now I’m finishing a bottle of Kalyra Pinot Grigio; my wife isn’t really helping out and so I’m polishing off most of it.

Oh yeah, while you’re getting ready for a trip to Idaho, how about going to the other state that starts with “I”? We’ve got our own Iowa grapes and Iowa wines; I wonder what you’d think (to be honest, I’m not a fan in general, but you might be).
August 15, 2007

Marc
QOTD: Usually not. I usually watch WLTV while eating one of my two-to-three dinners for the night (I’m trying to put on some weight). But maybe 10 percent of the time I’ll be having a glass with that dinner.

Great show on an interesting region.

QOTD: Almost always and today I was trying your recently reviewed Four Vines “Naked” Chard. For 8 bones, it can’t be beat.

Can we get the gravatars back?

Cheers

A Cote Rotie episode, I have been waiting for this since the start of WLTV!! I have spent $50 plus on wines, so it is not the cost, but for some reason have just never pulled the trigger on a Cote Rotie. I am now motivated to try one.

QOTD: not normally, I tend to watch stop-and-go while I am putting the kids to bed

I drink more times than not while watching WLTV.

QOTD: Only once out of maybe 7 or 8 shows. Also, did go out and buy a bottle and re-watch a segment.

FYI: per wikipedia, “On June 5, 2007 it was announced that Warner Bros. have optioned the rights to make a CGI animated feature film based on the ThunderCats cartoon. It will be an origin story expanding on the events of the first episode.[1]” Better buy your dolls before the market bumps.

Those wines look and sound amazing, gotta get me some of that love.
Gary, L.A., Saturday night, don’t be tired, there’s too much wine to drink.
QOTD: Never, always watch it at work. Even though we do drink wine at the end of the day at work sometimes, I’ve always watched by then.

Cheers!

Great show, I’ve always wanted to try a Cote Rotie but just found it a bit too expensive.

QOTD: Nope, haven’t done that yet.

QOTD – Almost always no. I just don’t really drink while staring at a computer screen. Once we get the WLTV DVDs I’ll start drinking while watching.

Gary,
I just discovered WLTV last week while vacationing in Napa and am absolutely delighted with your videos and insight. I am a relative newcomer to wine, still trying to taste enough to even know what it is that I like or dislike; your videos have demystified for me the things I’ve read but only partially understood in WS and similar magazines. Yesterday I watched the two episodes of your visit to Bordeaux and found them fascinating and especially informative. I am looking forward to future episodes!
Thanks,

Nice, Cote Rotie is quickly becoming one of my favorite regions.

QOTD: Being on the west coast, I usually watch the show at work. I do need to open a bottle and catch up on some missed episodes though.

QOTD: Always.

Great show.
