    GREAT JOB DK! Set the bar high for future guests and that’s a good thing for the wine world. We all need to bone up on our wine education. And football- HS!

    QOTD- I do have an affinity for some oak – Shaw Winery in upstate NY East side of Seneca Lake – bought a case three weeks ago of 2005 Cab Sav.(french oaked for 18 months) I purchase many cases made up of a variety – that was the first straight case in a while. Gotta roll big for something you love!

    DK – Nice job. Gary’s right, you did set the bar high for future guests. Between the Ravens sweatshirt and the four t-shirts, you must have been cooked by the end.

    Good job DK.

    QOTD: Since im in the CKC my case purchase was Gravity Hills Tumbling Tractor Zinfandel. It is a very rich with great chocolate and strawberry flavors and rolling in at $13 a bottle before the case discount it is a must try for you QPR people and my fellow CKC members.

    One of the best WL episodes in a long time. Been a great week. DK, very cool and really brought the thunder. I unfortunately haven’t bought a case of anything yet. Look forward to the wine what makes me buy one though.

    one of the best shows- super genuine. You guys had good chemistry.
    we need more vayniacs as guests
    QOTD- some kind of Bordeaux that I can drink a bottle of every year and see it change for the better.

    Great Episode. DK killed it, it set the bar high for any future guest hosts.
    QOTD: I’m on several winery mailing lists, so a buy a mixed case of Turley Zin’s
    and a case of Quilceda Creek which I split with a friend every year.

    Gary and DK…What a week on WLTV
    Can we get Sasha and DK together too.

    QOTD: Never bought a case, but a lot of “six packs”

    Good luck getting the laws changed, maybe now that Vayner-Nation has been alerted to the issue, there will be a groundswell.
    QOTD: I’ve never bought a case.

    Another classic episode! This week is bringing ‘07 to an end with some serious thunder.

    QOTD: I’m with the crowd—never bought a case—but I’d looove 11 more bottles of 2005 Glaetzer Amon-Ra. That there’s some good juice.

    Absolutely one of the most enjoyable episodes. Its a shame the guest was so shy and afraid to speak out. Jerry the 2thdr

    Great show! Good job, DK!

    QOTD: 2000 Thornton Pinot Blanc. This was the final harvest as the vineyard was lost to a disease. My wife really likes it, so we felt compelled to buy a case (I think we left them with only 2 bottles) since we wouldn’t be able to get it anymore.

    Loved the show!!! both of you took wine and entertainment to the next level. Awesome!
    QOTD; I have never purchased a case of any one wine, but my brother purchased a case of 2001 Muga Reserva Rioja, and we split it between 3 of us brothers, I still have 1 bottle.

    You’re right Gary. DK scared me. I can’t hang. Great job!! QOTD: Never bought a case because I don’t have anywhere to store wine. After watching the cellar show, I hope to rectify that soon…

    Great job!
    QOTD: 2001 Cafaro Merlot

    QOTD: 2002 Havens Black & Blue, 2004 Punto Final Reserva Malbec (times 2), 2005 Pasodoble

    DK was on fire!! Good job…Do not have the $$ to buy cases of a favorite wine…Max. I bought was 6 bottles of Comte de M Ch Kefraya 2000 (48$ and that hurt but was worth it). Cheers

    Great job, DK! I only hope that I could be that good on WLTV (if I ever get that lucky!).

    QOTD: Never have bought a case of wine. I really don’t have that kind of money, nor do I possess any kind of power to make my wife agree that buying that case was a good thing.

    DK, superb job as guest. I tend to rant about state liquor laws as well. Fortunately, for me, Texas is awaiting the outcome of pending litigation to determine whether its new draconian law will be enforced. I hope not, but I’m not optimistic. The thing that really upsets me is that the bill sailed through the state legislature with little notice or input from the public. The only comments came from businesses that directly benefit from consumers not being allowed to purchase wine from out-of-state vendors. Winery direct sales are not affected.

    That was fun Gary, I take back my earlier comment about not liking guests on the thunder show.

    QOTD: I’ve never bought a case of a single wine, even at different times 4 bottles has been my max on any single wine. There’s just too much good wine out there to try.

    Earlier tonight I actually did consider it. We drank the Felline Primitivo and it was awesome. WL is sold out (was $12) so I was looking elsewhere online and considered a case since the the discount brought it down to $13 per bottle. With shipping it would be $17 so I’m going to have to give it a pazzzz.

    alright, after watching religiously every day for the last month i am finally posting a comment!!!! im 19 years of age and im starting to learn allot about wine, and i gotta say that without gary i probably would have lost interest. but now im hooked. wine is fun! and im super syked at the approach the thunder show crew is taking toward the wine world. i actually ate dirt the other day ;/ anyways, thanks guys.

    QOTD: i have never bought a case of wine…yet. but i like zin, any recommendations ??

    I like it! GV this is an awesome idea. I can’t wait for my turn. Although, I can’t imagine anyone topping DK. (plus he picked two 91+ point wines.) What a show!
    QOTD: 2005 Morgan Pinot Noir.
    A few cases of ‘05 and ‘06 Bordeauxs as well – based on good tastings of earlier vintages, but that’s not quite what you asked…

    Episode 351 with your father now has been replaced by this one; great show.

    QOTD: Some of the ‘05 Boreaux Futures, Ch Sansonnet/Petit Bocq/Branon and others. Will cellar them for years to capture their full potential. Oh, the Vaniac Cab also. Have to be a supporter of WLTV.
