Qotd – Showket Sangiovese 1998 at 15 bones. Best US sangio I have come across. Bought a case after sampling a bottle. I am like you though DK, I seldom buy more than three of anything. In fact, of my 300+ bottles I have 180 different wines.

Gary I love the guest idea! You are great with people and it is going to be interesting to see how different palates compare to yours.

Great effort DK! You really brought the thunder. Hard to believe we are still trying to repeal prohibition laws.

QOTD: Never have and never intend to buy a case or more of one wine even though I have bought 100 hundreds of wines.

What’s up people????? I just bought a case of Robert Mondavi Reserve 1999. I opened one of them, and it was filled with Black Cherries and leather. It can easily last another 7 years!!!! PEACE!!!!

This episode rocks. And I’m not even a football fan. Great job DK!

QOTD: I lease a Chicago apartment, so I don’t have a personal wine cellar. I don’t want to buy a case of anything until I have someplace stable to cellar it. (Well, unless I plan to drink every bottle within a year.) When that happens, I’ll buy a case of—yes I’m gonna mention it again—2001 Gloria de Ostatu.

Future WLTV guest-hosts: Fabulous! DK will be a hard act to follow, but I look forward to the next guest.

Pomerol: That stuff is my bank account’s kryptonite. I’ve tried to lay off the Pomerol (and Saint Emilion) for most of the year—you know, trying more new things than drinking the things I know—but it’s hard to stay out of the Bordeaux aisles in wine shops. And see, now you’ve given me an excuse to try some ‘05 Pomerols in the $40-60 price range. Like I really needed another excuse. My bank account says, “Gee, thanks Gary. Thanks a lot. Feh.”

Sleeping pills in ice cream: Funniest story I’ve heard in the last 24 hours. Even funnier than the Sasha bread addiction story. My father is also a hardcore bread addict. Your father and mine must’ve been separated at birth.

I live in Pennsylvania, so when it comes to laws like that, I don’t have them. I feel the pain and I think it’s time for some Law changes.

QOTD: I am 22, so I just recently have started getting into wines, most thankfully because of WLTV. I have yet to Purchase a case of wine, but I do promise that when I do, I’ll make mention of this episode when I post it in a comment.

DK really brought the thunder today. I enjoyed the episode quite a bit.

QOTD – Of the 1,000 or so bottles of wine I have purchased (since starting to keep track on cellartracker), there have only been three full cases of wine purchased. Two from Stevens Winery in Woodinville (Viognier and Syrah) and another from Robert Karl Winery in Spokane.

Excellent job, DK! Great passion!

QOTD: We bought a case of Campo de Borja Borsao for something like $4 a bottle about 5 years ago and it did not disappoint. Recently I purchased a case of 2005 Jessie’s Grove Jessence, which is a blend of Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne. (Gotta admit that I helped make it!)

Great show. I guess the soap on the nose was enough to fill a box for DK to stand on. Get that message out there, man! I can’t even buy alcohol before noon on Sunday here in the TX. Old ass liquor laws are ridiculous. And for the sake of saving some of my soap to wash myself with, I’ll stop there. Thanks GV and DK

QOTD: Out of curiousity, I bought a split of 2002 Rudd Oakville Estate red. It had been rated 96 points and I had never experienced a wine rated so highly. I opened it with my french coworkers and we were all taken by this wine. I went out and bought 12 half-bottles.

The other wine that I bought a case of was the 2003 Chappellet Napa Valley Cabernet, which is delightfully plush.

Of course, the best case value I ever bought was the 2001 Savannah Chanelle Pinot Noir Armagh Vineyard (half-bottles) for $80 (ie: $6.70 each). The full bottles had been selling for $28 each at the winery. I still have 4 left. These are amazing right now. I’m kicking myself for giving away some as gifts.

QotD: Last case I bought was 2 cases of Stryker Patty’s Patch Zin. I got wine club pricing and I have given most of it away for Christmas, but saved a couple of bottles for Me.

QOTD: I’m a CKC and as a result, way too broke for cases.

DK: “Mott link it up!”.

Welcome to the Birth of the THUNDER VAYNIACS!

Way to go DK! Total pwnage over so many episodes!

Gary…How about some FEMALE VAYNIACS on the show!…MOTT! LINK THAT UP TOO.

About time someone campaigns against draconian liquor laws. I’m from EU and I’ve enjoyed living in the US but as DK says, you cannot get 95% of the wines on WLTV or many other interesting choices. So in that respect I’m looking forward to getting back home. Although then I won’t be able to get CA wines, not sure I’ll miss out much though.

QOTD: No cases since being in the US because the choices in AR are so limited. But in France; Domaine du Mourchon, 2004 to name just one. It is available in the US but not sure where.
