    Bill was probably the best guest speaker yet. In his calm manner he handled GV’s spasticness in a smooth way, and definitely held his own in the witty remarks dept. Most others try to match GV’s nervous energy and get amped themselves not showing their true personality. Great job to both of you. Keep it up!

    I liked William. True, at the very beginning of the show he did seem to display a discomfiting lack of affect and I thought he might have a few neighborhood teens locked in a spotlighted bunker in a one-family home in Yonkers, maybe even forcing them to dance in his self-choreographed MTV-style videos, plying them with some bottles of 2002 Bordeaux lifted from The Carlyle, but then by mid-show, I thought differently.

    I feel like the lesson of the last two shows is that “restaurant wines” are less than desireable wines, or at least not the most desirable wines, that restaurants buy up at bargain prices and then sell them for larger profits. Anyone agree?

    Oh, sorry. QOD: the Agrapart “Les 7 Crus” I picked up there last year. Have to have some champagne, because otherwise it can be hard finding an excuse to crack some as what are you going to do with a whole bottle otherwise if it’s the middle of the week or something?

    QOTD: Send off ‘07 with a BOMB, something Aussie would be fitting. Maybe an older Two Hand’s Lily’s Garden.

    Hey, that’s my SUPER FAVE 1990 vouvray!!!!! I’ve been picking it up for about $20 at a local wine shop, and we have about 7 bottles in our cellar. (had to pause WLTV because I was so excited, but now I’m going back to see if it gets a good review) :)

    Hey Gary, it looks like WL carries the Vouvray Aigle Blanc Poniatowski for $20 bones….are we really talking about the same wine you tasted at Carlylse ?

    Their tables are barely enough to contain you. En fuego, dare I say.

    Hold up … is that ‘90 Aigle Blanc the same as the ‘90 Aigle Blanc at WL?
