    QOTD: How quickly I was turned onto wine. I was so used to sipping the cheap garbage that my parents bought at the stores that I thought Id never like wine. I was into drinking shots and mixed drinks, then got bored with alcohol altogether. A few years later I tried some good wines and here I am with a decent collection ageing and ready to try new and exciting things in the wine world.

    I am sure you have heard a great deal about the previous episode you did on Kosher wines (the choices - if you were going to do 2 from the same winery, why not Golan Heights - i.e., Yarden) so the Castel was finally a choice that begins to show the strides made in making kosher wines. Deinitely 2 thumbs up.

    Thanks for tasting that Castel!

    QOTD: What fascinates me: watching the huge spectrum of types of people out here in my new diggs in LA. So many people trying to make it in the entertainment business, and so little room for success. More daunting than anything else…

    What did you mean by “fake” when you were talking early in the episode?

    In the span of a couple of episodes I go from ignoring Kosher wines to dying to find the Castel - that sounded great and I love the blind tasting idea.

    Hey Gary, congrats on 300 eve show and for lighting the champagne spark in me.
    Had a cava last night and it was great. Also loving you sharing your knowledge about wines and regions, truly fascinating! Oh, pardon me, but that’s the answer to the QOTD.
    My other great fascination is cheerleaders! The world would be a much better place if all the guys battled on the lawn for a football and all the girls battled for best dancer, singer and cheerer on the sidelines. Peace through football brethren!!!!

    Brand new to WLTV and pleased to find a website that treats wine as a beverage that brings people together. Gary, you have the right approach, spaciba. QOTD: What fascinates me? FOOTBALL, but the real football(okay, soccer), not the American gladiator version where the play lasts mere seconds, the game lasts for hours, officials can take minutes to interpret a call from tape, the players equipment could withstand a bomb blast and those bloody stupid cheerleaders. Other than that I rank it right up there with bowling for surefire entertainment.
