    QOTD: I think I’ve officially made a die-hard Vayniac out of my room mate. Fantastic. Merry Christmas, my good man!

    I still haven’t cracked the 4-pack because the family is really small and my husband and I are the only drinkers (I think if we drank all 4 bottles we’d end up in the ER!). But I am really looking forward to them; especially the “old world” Bordeuaxs because I will finally be able to grasp the concept of what makes them different.

    Loved the show – great as usual. My wife and I watched together. Thought the Lavaud was the best of the reds. Still have the white to try. Keep doing the packs.

    Due to shipping problems (did you know FedEx Residential does not deliver on Mondays? Even the Monday beforeChristmas?????) we have not gotten our four-pack yet, but we are saving the episode to watch and taste along – probably on New Year’s now!

    Gary – it was great to see you on Saturday at the store (thanks for the help and tips). Ended up walking out with almost 5 cases (2 mixed).

    Thank you for the great Christmas pack. I hadn’t had a white Bordeaux in years and thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted. The Moulin de Lavaud was a great surprise and the Callac rouge was pretty darn good too. No scores for those last two?

    QOTD: Got the family together on the 25th and had to do quite a bit of convincing and arm twisting (wife, in-laws, her 3 sisters and their respective husbands/boyfriends, 10 altogether). The pack was just the right amount for the tasting and everyone loved the Bordeaux experience. Had lots of great WL cheese with it and a whole leg of Jamon Serrano (one of those that come on the wooden rack). In summary, an incredible evening. Thank you from the 10 of us, from the bottom of our hearts… I’m sure I managed to, at least, get a couple of new lurkers roaming around.

    Gary,

    Watched this episode with my bro yesterday and he was laughing his ass off. It was his first time watching and he’s in.
    I didn’t crack open my Christmas pack though because all of my family was to hung over from Christmas Eve dinner. Bunch of lightweights.

    Hey G – Great show! Theatrics to begin and end, as well as some real solid stuff in the middle. You mentioned balance – hey this was pure symmetry!

    Thanks for everything – I’m enjoying the ride =-)

    Thanks for sharing so much of yourself – my life is richer for it.

    I’m coming your way from Philly for the Christmas pack wines on Friday – save some for me, ok?

    Happy Holidays. A little late, but you know what they say.

    This was a wonderful show. I really enjoyed it. I would love to have tasted along with you but that’s not currently possible (shipping). However, I’m hoping the next time you do a “pack” to have it shipped to my brother’s in California and go down there and taste along.

    Thanks for the “wish list”. It’s a nice feature.

    I hope everyone out there has a wonderful time celebrating whatever it is that you celebrate.

    Great show! Good value from Bordeaux is always worth tuning in for (no arm twisting necessary).

    great christmas pack I had about 35 people over and and 10 of us when off and watched the show it was great, very funny and informative. All together we consumed about 20 bottles that day and several of my buddies commented that you should be on CNBC’s show “big idea”
    Great time do it again some time I’m hooked

    Happy Holidays!!! Saw your billboards on I-78 West just off the NJ Turnpike. I was totally stoked! Who is the “other” Gary? There is a yellow billboard out there near one of yours.

    Loved the Christmas pack. Sat down with mother and father in law. Had them watch a couple of your past episodes and then we had the wine tasting with you at the helm. Great fun on Christmas Eve and got you two new fans!

    Great episode. I didn’t buy the xmas pack, because I’m still waiting for an opportunity to do the Thanksgiving Pack that I bought. (Been busy!).

    Link It Up, Mott – I agree. That should be a T-Shirt! In fact, I’ve created a petition for Vayniacs to sign: http://www.petitiononline.com/bri1970/petition.html

    Gary, THAT’s something for Mott to link up in the next episode. :)

    Great episode, we had our family watch the show all together, (no arm twisting required) and drank the wine all day on Christmas! Very excited about the 2005 Bordeauxz, and have purchased 5 or 6 of the bottles from the xmas tasting show! Thanks Gary.

    Hey, Gary, here’s question for ya:

    Describe the differences between nose/aroma and bouquet. I was using them interchangably until I read/saw/heard they’re not really describing the same thing.

    I think you should do more shows like this, but base at least one per month around one of the Friday-offered “Free Shipping” wines to allow more folks to participate.
