I like the new emphasis on food-wine combinations, especially the unexpected ones. Good job!

My wife and I had some of the Radikon whites at a tasting. Very interesting stuff. One of them made me think of decaying dead leaves and the beginning of winter — but in a good way. I’m not sure what food I’d put it with, but I thought it was very intriguing wine.

QOTD. Don’t know. It depends on the food.

QOTD: I am not sure what I’m drinking on New Year’s Eve… I don’t have any plans as of yet. But, I will say that bubbly isn’t my style so I probably won’t drop major change on a bottle of it — more likely a big Cab. !

QOTD: Not a big champagne guy (gives me instant headaches). I will probably be drinking wine, beer and booze. Gonna run the gambit!

Hey Gary,
Is that an “Everything Is Illuminated” bottle in the background on top of that wine rack to the left? Please explain.

Hey man, I always try to leave comments-screw the contests!! I finally bought a decanter and decanted some Pinot (the one from the Thanksgiving pack, which was awesome by the way) on Christmas-I’ve now been converted.
QOTD: We are going to some restaurant/club with friends so they probably will only have crappy sparkling wine!

GV: Thanks for the day after Christmas episode.

QOTD: I’m thinking that we’ll be enjoying our Christmas gift from WL.com. The bottles of Chateau De Braude Bordeaux. And a few bottles of Domaine Chandon – RICHE will be around to bring in the New Year.

QOTD: I have yet to find any champagne here in Serbia that was not a big mass market label, so I am going to have a Prosecco and perhaps a little rakija.

Where’s the sniffy sniff on the steak?
My wife wanted to know

What a guy…….

QOTD: ROAD TRIP….the wifeee wife and I are taking the two dachshunds and heading down the road for New Years and this time without a place to go. No plans, no schedules, no clocks, no care and no idea what we will be drinking come New Years. But, we will be drinking something from a vineyard somewhere in the lower four middle states. Not a big choice I know. Have a great happy New Year……

Yummy episode! QOTD: Champagne! of course! RosÃ© Champagne, I just don’t know which one yet. Will go to the wine store today and buy. I do know that is not going to be MoÃ«t & Chandon this time. Going for something different and new to us.

Gary, the big-ass-glass is perfectly proportioned for the 6-liter bottle. In fact, they both make you seem tiny by comparison. How about an episode on dispensing wine from a 6-liter bottle?

QOTD: I’m inviting cabernet friends to my house for New Year’s Eve. I’ll ice a 375ml of champaign for those who insist.

Wow, didn’t expect an episode the day after Christmas! You really do love us, GV, and I am eternally grateful.

QoTD: Not sure exactly, since I’ll be spending it with my boyfriend’s family and they’ll most likely supply the sparkler…but if it’s Korbel again, I may sneak out and buy some cava or prosecco!
