    QOTD – I bought a case of Gary Ferrell 88 PN because both my wife and I loved it in a blind tasting. He is still one of my favorite PN producers next to Lane Tanner who is a personal friend.

    Timely QOTD. Bought a case of Bears’ Lair 2005 Merlot yesterday, which replaced the case I bought a couple of weeks ago. Entertaining episode, but could have done without the politics.

    Good show! Interesting dynamic there.

    QOTD: Wine by the case… I mostly buy in quantities of six, for both cost and storage reasons. However, sometimes there is that special bottle, whether it be quality or price, that causes me to go for the full box. Trespass Vineyard Cab Franc is one such wine. It’s outstanding! I also have a few other local Washington wines I’ve committed to as well, such as Whitman ‘02 Narcissa and Barrister ‘03 Cab Franc, for both price and quality.

    Wowzers…. Great show… I buy the wine that my wife likes by the case… That way she always has it around! NZ SB is her thing!

    That was awesome!!!! Great episode… great wine.

    QOTD: I have yet to buy a case of just one wine…. If I buy a case, it’s a mix.

    Great show DK, you are a natural. And Gary, I just heard you talking about the Jets on the radio, w/ Scott Simmon on NPR Weekend Edition- you made me proud to be a Vayniac!

    QOTD: La Castellina Chianti Classico 1997, tasteee

    QOTD: Probably 2005 Bordeaux, still planning on placing an order. Other than that, never more than 6, and usually no more than 3 of any one thing. I’ve been working hard for less than 2 years to train my palate. I’ve been drinking wine for 12 years but only really paying attention and wanting to learn for less than 2.

    Good episode Gary and DK, but boy you were getting me nervous at the end. Alas, your point about the absurdity of interstate wine shipping laws is taken. I’m in Minnesota and used to ship my WL orders into Wisconsin and pick them up there but now have lost even that option because Wisconsin now got dropped from the list.

    Make no mistake about it…any politician supporting these restrictions that says “It’s about protecting minors”, or “Protecting local farmers/wineries” is delivering a line of bull. It’s really about protecting a “walled garden” of distributorships and the wholesaling industry, which is super-powerful and super-corrupt.

    Having said that, I’m concerned, as Gary is, to keep WLTV free of politics, especially with the US election year coming. There is an organization that could really use a boost from the Vayner Nation though, that seeks to help break down all these artificial barriers on interstate shipping.

    Great episode for the weekend send off, DK did a awesome job!
    QOTD I haven’t bought an entire case because I don’t have well enough put together cellar, no real cooling system, put when I do I certainly will.

    PS No drawing because no one cut up all the little pieces of paper for gary to pick from.

    Hi folks no import restrictions here whatsoever, we even can import by barrel or ship load, ok it is Switzerland.

    Great segment….DK was on a roll, god the guy must have been boiling with all those layers.
    QOTD…. have never bought a full case of one wine as there are still too many new wines to taste.

    Wonderful show … nice to have a fun guest!
    QOTD: I liked the Victoria de Longaz so much that it is the ONLY wine I have ever bought a full case of.

    Gary and DK….fantastic episode. I must say that even my kids were pumped to watch this episode. Unfortunately, I live in one of the backwards states that still has shipping laws. Michigan allows for wines to be shipped intrastate, but not interstate. What a croc. It is too bad I do not have access to many of the wines WLTV has and GV reviews. I keep hope that someday it will change.

    QOTD: I have never bought a case, I usually only by a single bottle to taste and then go back to buy a few more to drink or store if I liked it.

    is that your lost twin???

    DK, you are my Daddy! Wow, great job. You’ve scared off all of the mere mortals for sure. We have a similar ridiculous law in Ohio imposed by the distributor lobby that now prevents us from “importing” wine from out of state wineries in order to “protect” jobs of Ohio winemakers…

    QOTD: Valley of the Moon, Cuvee de la Luna 2002 (2001 was even better!)

    Awesome show. QOTD: when I first started getting into wine a few years ago I picked up a case of the 2003 Domaine Grand Veneur Les Champauvins CdR (91 WA, $13). I tend to buy a lot of 6-packs now to drink 2-3 right away and store the rest for a few years to see how they age.

    Very well done, DK! Very good picks too, made up for a very interesting episode. Very good QOTD too. And here’s my answer: 2004 Charles Underwood Farleigh Zinfandel. Bought a case from WL, and now I’m down to the last three bottles. Trying to keep them there for a while

    QOTD: A whole case? Never done that- always a mixed half-case at a time. BUT, if I had to, I guess I’d go with Berco DO Infante 2005 – even I can live with buying a $60 case of a rediculously value-driven wine!
