Wonderful show. First case was very recent. 2000 Columbia Crest Walter Clore Private Reserve. Picked it up for $19/bottle, a steal.

2005 Bodegas Arrocal Ribera del Duero ($12.00)
2006 Earthworks Cabernet Sauvignon Barossa Valley ($9.00)

I am a wine lover and I live in MD. I hear Dave’s plea and will e-mail the Gov! Can’t get my shipments from wine clubs, have to send them to DC or VA. BTW, favorite wine by the case, Geyser Peak Sauvignon Blanc, it’s the perfect appetizer wine in the summer and it’s a steal at $9.99. Love the Thunder Show!!!

Great show boys

QOTD: It’s interesting how many people haven’t bought a case of wine before, one of the great joys is watching a wine change over time … Anyway if I had to buy one case it would probably be ‘Grosset Polish Hill Riesling’ – probably the greatest value wine in Australia and a drink that ages and changes remarkably with time (which is what your looking for in buying a dozen bottles to age …)

QOTD: 1997 Fontodi Chianti Classico Riserva “Vigna del Sorbo”

Single-vineyard reserve. Unreal. Have two left.

Serious show!!! I live in Va, and work in DC, both states/districts you can get good vino, but the states next door…no way. I think that the other states would want to do as DK said, cash in on the Alcohol tax cow.

Gary: suggestion, do more of the restaurant travel shows!! Will R. is my boy, nice choice for the establishment

Great show today.

Good luck Maryland – if I lived there the wine laws would be driving me crazy too; hopefully we’ll see Wine Library shipping to WASHINGTON STATE again soon as well (hint, hint).

Last wine I purchased a full case of: found a great price on FOLEY 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley, La Cuesta Vineyard). Bought a case after I sampled a bottle and later found out the winery no longer makes this particular wine.

Watch out Gary !!!!!!!!!!

Your guest certainly brought a ton of lightning to the “Thunder Show” !

Simply great ! I have the exact same Bitch about archaic laws here in Massachusetts preventing wine lovers, from opportunities to buy wine where ever they want !

The lobbyist protecting the distributors and retailers have a hold on the politicians; that’s the real bottom line ! I know we’ll be the last state to open the doors.

Fantastic show—— bring on more unknown guests. Have not made a whole case commitment of one wine yet. I still like to mix it up.

Never bought a case. Never fallen in love with a wine that much.

Great episode. Bye the bye Gary, if you ever have me on the show, no way I am letting you slide on setting a bottle in front of my head the whole episode. I will move them. I don’t look good with a wine bottle growing out of my head.

That is a lot of T-shirts. Guess it’s cold in NJ. What no Lurker shirt? Terrible. That would be the first I would wear. It’s funny…like a kick me sign.

Being a CKC and new to the wine world, I haven’t had the opportunity to buy a whole case of anything. That might be a nice wedding gift when my girlfreind and I take that step.

Gary just exctly what does “liver fat” smell like (episode 362)???…Actually, not only have I never smelled liver fat, I have never seen liver fat ?? Did you lose your nose when the Browns beat the Jets?

#1; COLOR-cloudy dark; NOSE-this is interesting; mustiness; cherry & raw hamburger meat w/ pepper; fortified PORT action on the finish (caramel, butterscotch); and a Kirsch component; TASTE-one of the most massively rich, explosive cherry pie w/ hints of bacon; secondary flavors of bacon & liver fat; big cherry explosion; hints of white & black pepper; oregano action on the mid-palate; as smooth & complex a fruit bomb as I’ve had in a long time; an imaginary blend of Chateau Beaucastel CDP blended w/ a rich & elegant Colgin Cabernet; a hedonistic Old World, structured & balanced fruit bomb lovely & massive wine; little Frangelico/ Baily’s component on the very tail-end (& a little heat too); the perfect harmony between Old & New World; I love this wine; one of the best CDP’s I’ve ever had w/ a little CaliCab Vanilla-love; a monstrous effort; still tasting the cherry along w/ a little secondary lavender; GV-95

Fun show. Some serious wines there. Maybe just a bit TOO MUCH football chatter for those of us not into Jeets or Tiitans. Haven’t bought a whole case of one wine in a couple decades, last being a case of 1981 Ch Angludet, a case of 1982 Ch Angludet, 1981 Ch Priere Lichine, and 1982 Ch Priere Lichine, BUT a recent whole case from WINE LIBRARY of 2005 Cour d’Argent with FREE SHIPPING. Lots of half cases: 1982 Cos d’Estournel, 1982 Gloria, 1982 Gruaud Larose, 1982 Montrose, 2003 Malescot St Exupery, 2000 Clos du Marquis, 2004 Malescot St Exupery, 2005 Malescot, 2000 La Louviere, etc, etc… including Ch Pesquie Quintessence (Ventoux) from free.winelibrary.com. GO SEAHAWKS!!! and Happy Holidays.

Tiny apartments don’t have room for cases, sadly. Everytime I have a wine I like, I say “I’d buy a case of this!” but I imagine once I have the space I’ll be pretty selective.

Great Show!!
QOTD: 1st case I ever bought was Hogue Genesis Cab 2001 @ Stars in St. Louis

Oh how the mighty fall, those poor ravens just gave the hopeless dolphins their first victory of the year. At least DK got to try some sweet wine, you should send him a bottle with a giant dolphins logo on it!!

QOTD: Have not had the chance to buy an entire case of one wine yet. I would have to say that if I did, it would be the Vayniac Cab of course.

Myu first case was 2002 Robert Biale Thomann Station Petite Sirah, and I still have 3 bottles left ….sniff, soon it will be gone.

GREAT show! Who is this guy?? Great guest. (Me next, me next! So I can rant about the sucky PA blue laws!)

QOTD: Never bought a case of wine, but have been tempted…being a CKC with a credit card is a life of high adventure…

Great show Gary.

QOTD: Never bought a case of wine. Mostly due to lack of storage for it.
