Great show! A lot of fun. I loved David’s rant and t-shirt modelling.

QOTD: Never bought a case of a single wine. I like to experiment.

What a week—a variety show every day—another great guest for Friday and some great banter and rant—The Pasodoble Red was a great 12-pack—everyone have a great weekend—-

QOTD: Haven’t bought a full case of wine…yet…

Never bought a case of wine, but it’s pretty obvious why you showed this show today instead of Monday.

You were afraid that this show couldn’t be contained until then without reaching the Vayniacs and getting its message across. Which probably is a reality. I still don’t see how you weren’t sweating bullets with all those shirts on, and you made me feel bad for thinking you were a little husky at the beginning of the episode when it was really just the shirts.

Lurker mode off.

Great show! Slowly getting caught up on old episodes as well, but today’s may be one of my favorites so far.

QOTD: Pirramimma 2002 Petit Verdot.

fun show. Different intensity.
Hard to buy a case of one thing when there so much out there to try new.

WOW What a great episode! That DK guy is great, and so articulate on camera. I think Id be a stuttering mess if were sitting next to The GV.

QOTD: Never bought a case, but I think Id LIKE a case of that 2004 Chateau Clos L`eglise Pomerol

Great ending! I was have expecting a t-shirt with GV’s mug!
QOTD: Well, I just bought a case of Brunello from a winery called San Polino in Tuscany…..tasted while visiting in November and just arrived yesterday:-)I have also pre-ordered a case of Vayniac Cab and I am hoping it’s going to rock my world!

It’s the start of bi-weekly, Vayniac Guest Couch Friday. Long title for that feature, but sounds great! Are the west coast Vayniacs going to be representing? I don’t expect Gary to fly somebody out twice a month, but it would be fun. But I have to say, today’s guest star holds his own with you, Gary. He really does. Well done!

QOTD: If I had to invest in a case of wine, it would be Duckhorn Goldeneye Pinot Noir 2004 from Anderson Valley, California. Just terrific stuff.

By the way, true story: I was talking about WLTV with someone and when I said Vayniacs, he asked if I said “Veiny C___k’s”. On behalf of all Vayniacs, I handed him a beat down. Our honor is intact, and he will think twice next time before …. nah, he probably won’t.

Way to go DK, that was outstanding.

QOTD: The only thing I’ve ever bought a case is the Sam Smith Winter Welcome, man that’s good stuff.

RAWK N ROLL. i know there is no “politics” on WLTV, but TJ was the ambassador to france, wanted to change the american palate from whiskey to wine, why not change the governor of MD too. Pennsyltuckey needs a face lift too. is it the original 13 colonies here?
that bottle of pomerol looked good. i must say, just because it has pomerol on the eh bottle, doesn’t mean it is 100%. over the past year, i had some disappointing pomerol. the rough thing is that when it is good, it is sooo damn good.

QOTD: i bought a case of Chateau Quercy, St Emilion, 2005 this summer from the chateau. i still have 4 bottles from a case i bought of the 2001. will be saving them for another 3 years and maybe open one every year after or so. tasty tasty.

The co-host did an outstanding job! You guys worked well together.
Also, awesome QOTD, so here goes…

QOTD: Someone above mentioned Jusin Isosceles. I’d agree, but will go with a better value and go with Justin’s “The Orphan.”

I tend to no longer buy cases of wine.. the wife thinks its time to have a wine party and alas… i enjoy less and less of the wine that i purchase.. tho i do enjoy sharing (some).

thanks for the Wegmans love yet again.. we need to get you up here to check out our home in Rochester :}

That was fun! Not sure I need it on a regular basis, but maybe it would be different if it were me (or you or you get the point). I’ve yet to buy 12 bottles of the same wine, even when I’ve visited a vineyard and bought a case there (always mixed).

OH, and great show. I’m a new viewer who has been trying hard to catch up, and the surprises keep it interesting. I am trying to immerse myself in wine knowledge, and this show prevents the burnout I had when reading.
