    Qotd - Prosecco early on and then to a nice Champagne. No specific producers, but something I haven’t had before.

    once the undertaker woke up, I really enjoyed the rapport between him & our boy Gary. Nicely done

    Awesome series of shows. I think I already answered a QOTD in a later episode, but I drank Peregrine Pinot Noir, and Duval-Leroy Brut NV. After seeing GV talk about grower’s champagne I wish I had made the effort to find something a little more special. Don’t have to wait until next New Year’s to find some though.

    New Years Eve wines:

    1) 2002 Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay
    2) 1998 Canon-Mieux - a Bordeaux wine from the Canon Fronsac region. It was the fist Bordeaux I purchased in quantity. I was a novice, ut this is a decent quaff.

    How do you like that - I already have them picked out!

    2002 Bordeaux the ideal restaurant wine? Bullshit! Fact is that many persons not experienced in wines will order wines in restaurants because that is what people do. So they won’t probably notice that they just bought an overpriced wine. Thats how the wineindustry works: Dump all the crap into the restaurants. Of course there are restaurants with good and economical wine lists.

    Super-fun episode. I’m a little disappointed that SS tagged William as “Geek Boy”, but I loved the episode.

    QOTD: New Year’s Eve we throw a dinner party for 6-8 of our closest friends. Since I am not sure what we are serving as yet (my wife the “Executive Chef” is still deciding), I cannot say for sure. But I am thinking that we will be having some nice Bordeaux, perhaps a 1995 from the left bank.

    Super rapport between the two of you. Great synergy. More episodes like this.

    Love these restaurant episodes.

    QOTD: Probably a vintage Billecart-Salmon…

    QOTD: Fantasy land time…….Screaming Eagle 1997….just to see of it can live up to the hype……

    I love these “on location” shows! The dude started slow, but came on strong.

    QOTD: Aldo Conterno Barolo Granbussia Riserva 1989

    William Rhodes. He looked a bit stiff on the intro, but he came across really cool (maybe a little bit Matt Damon from “The talented Mr Ripley”), as if there was a mini GV trying to get out. I liked the reference earlier to “Sir Gary”! (and boy can he knoack that wine back) :)

    I’d love to go to that place on an expense account (although I doubt my boss would sign off on the final bill!).

    QOTD - One wine on New year’s Eve? I’m not a big Champagne groupie so I think it would have to be a Madeira or Port, something like a 15 year old or a good Vintage, that I can savour the flavours as the bells ring in 2008.

    U wish my wife was yours

    I don’t know yet what I will have for New Years this year as I am attending a wine dinner at Rancho San Juan near Santa Fe and they will be pulling bottles from their huge cellar for the dinner. If past experience holds will be some amazing wines including a high end vintage grower champagne.

    Hey Gv ~ Gotta be honest, I think I could find just as interesting wines at my local wine shop and actually be able to afford them, $25 a glass is a bit steep and with the reviews you gave, not sure I’d seek them out at any restaurant ? This is one of my big gripes about restaurants and the comments about restaurant wines, if the wines are restaurant style and from lesser known vintages you would think the prices would reflect that, but they never do. So I have to settle for mediocre wines in even high class restaurants and then go home and pop a bottle of decent wine. Enough ranting.
    Still liking the road show though,keep ‘em coming ! liked the Walla Walla Syrah reference)

    QOTD: I’m cracking open a 3 liter of my first vintage of wine, a 2000 Columbia Valley Syrah from Griffins Crossing Winery. Cheers ~ Max

    Probably a GROWER CHAMPAGNE. I think i will choose Pierre Peters, Margaine, Chartogne-Taillet, or Henri Billiot. Great question from the newbie.

    Great episode. I should start using one of those social network bookmarking sites to keep track of the really good episodes.

    QOTD: You know, I wouldn’t have thought of it if you hadn’t mentioned Rosé, but I would definitely be excited to drink the Marquis de la Tour NV Brut Rosé for New Year’s. A local grocer had it for $7 too, so you can’t beat that. I’ll be at a wedding though so I’ll drink whatever they’re pouring.

    I think that was an edit. Did we miss a purple nurple?

    Great episode - thanks Bill and Gary - I like the “field trip” aspect of the tastings and the reference to the hotel and the room where you shot this from. Did Bill say Woody Allen plays piano there ?

    QOTD: I think that I would want to try Krug Champaign. Right now, it is definitely out of reach, but hey, maybe one day….

    QOTD: Still waiting for you to show me something special, the Mrs has a bottle of “J” from the Russian River Valley ready for the ice bucket

    I just want to say that today I actually tasted the vegetals Gary always talks about. Before I was like, barnyard, sure!…dirk, rocks, cave, moss! of course! but veggies? And I eat a lot of those. So today I was really excited that the vegetal component came out to play with me. Anyway, on new years I have no idea what I’ll be drinking, definately bubbly but have no idea…i love the louis jadot rose but i’m always up for something new and i could see myself starting off with something fresh but having a back up….also, your friend is kind of emo. Wine is happy. Tell him to cheer the hell up.

    Hey Gary, good move not letting pussy-boy Billy with the Brylcreme part not spit; you could tell he likes to swallow. Did you notice that he was a bit put-off when you said you would not make-out with him over that wine?
    P.S. Cut back on the speed a little; your pupils were like saucers. Try a good spliff occasionally. Thanks for the variety, but fuck NYC. Try Chicago for a more real experience if you crave the big-city life style.
