Liked the brief tour of WL (kind of like Benny Hill with samba music). How about the full tour as a kind of holiday open house deal? The place is immense, and would be fun to see the whole space.

QOTD: I usually get wines at Central Market or World Market. Occasionally I’ll pick something up at Kroger (it’s about a minute from my house) but it doesn’t really have the best selection of complex wines.

QOTD: when I actually do shopping, I go to the Albertson’s on Live Oak Ave and Santa Anita Ave in Arcadia. But in Princeton … well, since I don’t really have to do shopping, I usually buy my snacks at the Princeton U-Store since I have an employee discount.

Too bad on the PV G-Man. But then again 02′ spain was pretty rocky..? And the NORA, come on that’s
a crowd pleaser. I’m not saying there’s a wow factor there, but for an entry level foray into the Albarino -it works.

QOTD: Harris Teeter,Lowes, Fresh Market, and when I get a chance A Southern Season. But I long for the days of Wegmans in my past.

Gary I am so proud of you for going oh-fer on the picks! In your own place, too. Humility is a gift!
QOTD: My wife does the food shopping @ Food Lion, WalMart, or Lowe’s unless it’s a special meal and then I do all the leg work. I do all the wine shopping at Lowe’s or my local wine shop, Priscilla’s. What do you do with the greenpoints, Passthecab?!?

Wegmans in Ithaca, NY (HI RIESLING RON, 10 comments or so above!) Gary there are at least 2 Ithacans, you need to answer my “Ask Gary” question about Finger Lakes wines. Anyway, Wegmans would be the best grocery store in the world if they sold wine (they literally everything else- what gives?)

See Gary, Im commenting and there is no contest!

I live in Lincoln Park in Chicago, for everyday I go to the local grocer called “Big Apple” but then we try to do a big shop at Whole Foods and then cab it back home. It helps that a huge wine store is right by there!

Do you really think you’ll find wine in MADISON WISCONSIN????? !!!! But you won’t get any from WL because you don’t ship to WI anymore!!!!! OK, Ok,,, i’m over it already… at least they haven’t disconnected the internetz and the opportunity to watch.

QOTD: Giant Eagle, Trader Joes, and on days like today…i grab a few essentials at a hole in the wall market near my apartment. They were out of bread and their milk expires tomorrow…so i just got a couple mega millions tickets instead.

QOTD: Specifically? Superstore, Italian Center South, 99 Supermarket for asian stuff and weird meats. And my dad’s – cause that’s where we store all our game meats and garden root vegetables.

Great show and nice to see even you go 0-3. I do it all the time.

QOTD: Eastern Market in DC, Whole Foods and Harris-Teeter in that order.

Cheers except the Cheaters won again! Are the refs getting paid off?

Gary, GREAT episode, promise I won’t be a lurker anymore! I’m glad you did this episode, I often feel lost when trying to buy a bottle I haven’t tried. As a HUGE Albarino fan, I can tell you that the Black Pig is AH-MAY-ZIIIIINNNG! MORE PLEASE, I WANT A CASE!
