QOTD: If you click on my name and go to my blog and see the posting from November 17th titled GV we have a problem, they you’ll see some of what I will be drinking. Or I can just tell you here, I’ll be having the secret GV Thanks 4 pack, which is down to 3 thanks to… ah, it’s on the blog. I will also be starting the day off with Cava Marques de Gelida 2003, dining with Chablis Gilbert Picq & ses Fils 2006 and a South African Chardonnay from Danie De Wet Limestone Hill that the sales guy at Astor insisted, I mean really insisted I buy, plus the GV3, then a delicious gingerbread will be served with Moscato d’Asti Bera Canelli. Then I will fall into a food coma.

PS I added a widget to my blog, entered the contest, I live within driving distance of WL and can get myself there so… pick me pick me!!!!!

PSS FYI GV or mott – the one list of five widget made my computer go wonky.

“And who doesn’t like jockstraps filled with pickles?” Classic. “Think about that fun girl. All fun fun fun…and no conversation.” Another classic. Someone needs to make another montage of Vaynerisms..this episode is key! I’m so glad you had a good episode GV! And way to go France!

QOTD: I’ll be drinking Felline Primitivo Di Manduria 2005, one that you did a show on in October and probably a Riesling, for all of those White Zinfandel drinkers in my family. I’ll try and show them what the wine world has to offer!

QOTD: Blanton’s Whiskey. One of the best. I’m sure there will be some wine, but c’mon. Expand your palate right.

I will be having 2000 ChÃ¢teau Haut-Brion Blanc as my birthday is right around that date, and I want to treat myself. Should be great ! Great episode by the way it was good to see one where most of the wines were really good! I am glad the Jets won, SO DID THE PATS 56 to 10 baby , good for us both! Cheers

I really liked this show! My impression of the great quality coming from southwestern france is probably very close to yours. Good stuff. QOTD: I’m having a wine that I first learned about on WLTV, the 2004 Altos de Luzon, a really lucious Jumilla that I’ve ordered multiple times.
Happy Thanksgiving G!

Love the southwest of France…bringing it hard and often..at least in my household. Anyway I will probably be doing a little Viognier w/ a side of Zinfandel, but now that is on the ropes because I may grab something last minute from the Rhone region….how fun is this!!!!!

Good stuff today Gary. I guess you indirectly answered my question on whether more than 5 wines at a sitting would overwhelm the palate!

QOTD: Sparkling shiraz and then prosecco with dessert

Gravity Hills Zin 2004 (Gary’s fav from last years Thanksgiving episode).

I can’t believe the steelers lost. Oh well, we will still be in the playoffs, and anything can happen once you make it there…

I was going to drink Tensley Colson Canyon 2005 Syrah but my girl doesn’t like it. I do but what can you do? So maybe a zin. I’ve got a couple bottles of the 05 Ridge Geyserville but haven’t tried it.

Man sweat? And how would you know about that? Great episode.
QOTD….2003 El Nido Clio, Majella Sparkling Shiraz, and maybe a Prosecca and a Riesling too.

Excellent episode. QOTD: Probably none, no one in my family drinks wine so I don’t bother. Right now though i’m enjoying the ‘05 Pierre Amadieu Vacqueyras La Grangeliere. Best QPR ever! It’s amazing with France being the greatest wine growing country that there would be any good values there. Especially A region like the Rhone which produces arguably the best wine in the world. Anyone know if a regular Riesling is best or a kabinett?

Some real interesting wines in this episode………France really carried the day.

QOTD: A Mosel Riesling, not sure which one yet, maybe an ‘02 JJ Prum Kabinett or a ‘04 Merkelbach :Urziger Wurzgarten Kabinett.

I’m taking a Domaine Barou Syrah Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes 2006 to the cousins house. But who knows what they’ll have…

So, Gary, I’m grateful for the Minervois and Triennes wines. It’s great to know that such good wines are still available at those prices. I don’t know whether a MySpace page counts as a blog, but I added your show widget to my page anyway.

QOTD? I’ll probably look for one or two of the wines you tried today, but if I can’t find them, I live right near Kermit Lynch’s store in Berkeley.

Gary, great show, a lot of great wines I will have to try! But mainly, Blanca is from Street Fighter, NOT Mortal Kombat!!! Everyone knows that, come on.
