    Thanks for the final segment on the Barolo.

    Hi Gary: I’m a huge fan! Keep it up. I live in Houston and try to keep current with Texas wines, but I’ve never heard of Sunset. There are other more representatives wines of Texas than this winery; why did you choose this small winery? Brent

    Hi GV and fellow Vayniacs,

    I’ve been in Geneva, Switzerland on business for the last four weeks and with one week to go, I FINALLY had some down time to watch WLTV so I’m trying to catch up. Nice show on Texas wines. Guess I need to send GV some Ohio wines. :-)

    QOTD: Burgers MUST have cheese. I LOVE cheese!
    QOTD 2: Aqua-man is okay. He was never one of my favorite superheroes, though.

    Gary, I felt like today you were being very fair but also sensitive to the fact that you were talking about a small, possibly family-run winery. You were still honest but still came across very respectful in the way you talked about their wine. I really respect you for that.

    QOTD: Cheese!

    No Way. Boyz will rule turkey-day. Def cheese on burger!! Just found out I passed my re-cert. exam in Vasc.Surg. Opened a Chimney Rock Stags Leap Reserv. 1997. I did the same thing, left the bottle open for 3 days, re-tasted each day. Very interesting!!
    Gary, I agree 200%.Being from Texas, I feeled proud that you devoted a show to Texas wines. I long have felt that they were over-priced. Could never see the econom. reasons for it. Texas wines should be dirt cheap to have more people try them, enjoy them, then slowly raise prices as the quality increases. My only personal favorite is from a fellow physician I know, Richard Becker. He and his wife have a vineyard about 6 miles from my ranch near Fredricksburg, TX. Their wines are worth the price.
    Dude, keep up the GREAT work!!

    Q: CHEESE and I’m cool with Aquaman.

    Cheese? What kind of question is that. who doesn’r like cheese. I mean how can you honestly eat a burger without it. It is unAmerican, both figuratively and literally.

    Can’t say as much for Aquaman though

    Cheese in the burger? Such as a mild blue.
    Aquaman was under utilized.

    Pink rainbows strikes the same chord as arbor mist. Was that the intended market segment?

    Cheese - all types - YES!

    I do remember watching the Aquaman cartoons in the morning before leaving for elementary school; liked it for a very short window of time back in those playground days.

    Great show, and that’s because the last “secret song” section made it VERY interesting.
    How do small vinyards like the Texas winery you reviewed today stay in business? Do local wineries find a niche in their own area and thrive?

    QOTD: With cheese. But I think Aquaman is all wet.
