Gary,
QOTD;I thought I was past chardonnay, but when you reccomended Step Road and a couple of white Burgs, I tried and did a total turnaround. thanks!

It’s crazy, but I haven’t drunk a single wine since I’ve started watching wine library TV. What can I say – exams week.

So now I’m positively in pain with a hundred wines I want to try and no time at all!

I’m excited for thanksgiving.

QOTD: Washington and Boudreaux.

Thanks!! But go read my question on Facebook about doing the Wine Spectator type of education on WLTV

Oh… and thanks again… placed another order, the wife is getting mad at you but I’m buying to give to friends… not for me

I’ll buy for me next time you do an awesome code.

Gary, please don’t wear shirts right out of the package anymore, very tacky. Great show!!

Thanks for the show, Gary! Looks like another Languedoc wine that I am going to have to seek out. I, too don’t see what the big deal about BN is. So it is a rushed wine to celebrate the new harvest. Fine. I can see that. Hearing someone in a wine store say, “I just bought a whole case!” with a huge smile, is puzzling to me.

QOTD: I heard you talk many times about wines that have more of a veggie aspect vs. a more fruity component, but I really hadn’t experienced that until I went to a wine tasting for high end Cabernet. As I tasted several of these wines, I found a few that I tasted that immediately sent off veggie signals in my brain, and I LOVED IT! I found one in particular called Peju Province 2003 Cab Sauv Reserve from Napa Valley that was outstanding!

Maybe you could do an episode on real Beaujolais sometime. It’s a nice wine, I think, when it’s no longer nouveau.

QOTD: I doubt I would ever have tried an Albarino if it weren’t for you. Now it’s my second favorite white wine.

Wow! I love that book! I’m a waitress at a great bistro in San Jose and this book has now been passed around several of our staff members. I wish everyone would at least read her “tips” for diners, which should seriously be published in every major newspaper. If people only knew how much more fun a great restaurant can be when you know how to let the pros take care of you. Relax people! Great food + great wine + great service = experience to be savored, not controlled.

That said, thanks for keeping this up, I can’t tell you what a great resource these shows are for those of us who depend on our knowledge of food and wine for a living!

OK, that languedoc sounds like good fun. Pity I don’t have a facebook.

QOD: Rioja, all day long. Hammond pinot and Noblaie Chinon, both of which kicked all kinds of ass. I’d say Godello, but I’m saving it for a turkey-day aperitif, I think.

QOTD: If it werenâ€™t for your show, I would have never tasted some fabulous white varietals like AlbariÃ±o, Verdejo, Greco, etc. I really enjoyed the Black Pig AlbariÃ±o.
Thanks, GV…sorry kids, Santa won’t be bringing you a Wii this year.

Oh, and the Hermit Crab viognier as well. I really wasn’t a big white wine fan until I saw your review, thought it sounded interesting, tried it, loved it, and came back with renewed faith in white wines and have since found a few more that I really adored.

Thank you for the free shipping, Gary!

QOTD: Pillar Box Red 2005. I loved your description of it a long time back, sounded exactly like something I would enjoy, and it definitely was. ESPECIALLY with it rolling in at less han 10 bucks.

Hmmm… No mention of going over 1000 comments weird. Nice to see that Gary is staying with us.
QOTD: Chateau Picau-Perna Saint-Emilion 2004

Maybe the Wine World can think of something to substitute for Beaujolais – maybe a Rose.
QOTD: albarino

QOTD – Terlato & Chapoutier Shiraz/Viognier
and to a lesser extent, Albarino
Thanks Gary

Yo GV (and Ma):
what’s up with the cracking sound during some of the recent episodes?
kinda annoying…and it’s coming through the site and podcast…
great show!

Good show. Well, you draw my attention to Albarino and Prosecco. Cheers

#100 – The Lurkers only come out when you threaten to quit – and nobody shows up to say thank you for the free shipping? BUSH LEAGUE!!

Gary – great show, Hope the B-day went well, THANKS FOR THE FREE SHIPPING! The Fort Worth Jerks will be buying their Thanksgiving Tasting wine from you – we even got the Thanksgiving wine pack! (I’m getting the wristband – as long as I win the drawing)

Basically every bottle I have bought so far I wouldn’t have without the guidance of wine library!
As I sit here writting this I’m drinking the Villa Fanelli Primitivo Zeta which I actually like more than the Felline Primitivo Di Manduria 2005 which you rated higher – which just goes to show that you gotta listen to the taste profile and not the scores!

Oh by the way – before we cracked open the Villa Fanelli, we finished the Berco Do Infante Estremadura Reserva 2005 which you nailed right on the head!

Don’t worry – we don’t just buy the cheap stuff – we’re just testing to see if our palates can really tell the difference between high and low priced wines. So far we can, but there have been some big surprises. My wife does a better job than myself – I can’t even compete.

Thanks again for the free shipping – that really helps the wallet of a vayniac with a $100 palate and a $10 wallet. (Maybe it’s closer to $50 and $25)

QOTD: Oh, man, 2 dozen or 3 dozen great wines that I would’ve never tried — would’ve never even heard of — if it weren’t for WLTV. But I will narrow it down to one that I truly adore most, the greatest QPR ever, the kickassingest $20 wine in history, Castano Hecula.

Good show Gary. The St. Julian comes from my neck of the woods – the winery is just down the road from where I grew up! Thanks for showing some love to Michigan! QOTD: without WLTV, I never would have tried the Berco Do Infante Estremadura Reserva, and I never would have realized what a love affair with wine looks like! Keep it real.

Nice ep. A wine that was totally off my radar before your show was the Boudreaux Cabernet from Rob Newsom. I have 5 bottles of the ‘04 Cab in the cellar and loved the one we took out to dinner (review in the forums, corked and CT).

Let go of the un-impressed traditions, 100% agreed! I tried Beaujolais one year and didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. Now I know how much value I can get with just 10 bones, I would not waste it on other Beaujolais like wines.. Thanks Gary and the WLTV.—I watch and I learn.. .

QOTD:
Tintoralba Crianza. LOVED it. THanks for the rec!
Now, if you would only ship to WA, I”d be all over that free shipping code! So sad….

QOTD: Faunus Primitivo Di Manduria 2005 (because it was the closest thing I could find to Felline Primitivo) Major steal for $12

Since watching your show I have started trying wines from many more regions.
One of the wines which I tried because of the Wine Library TV is the Mabileau Bourgeuil St. Nicolas.
Love the wine. I enjoyed bothe the 2005 and the 2004.

I also started trying other Loire wines which I am not sure you reviewed. A great one I recently tried was the Jasnieres. Great quality for the price.

Thanks Gary
