Considering that I am the baby in my fam – I’m loving the love you gave to the first wine! It sounds more like my personality and recently transitioned taste prefs.

QOTD: Hanging with friends and working. Tried a great Pinot Blanc yesterday, ready for some Portugese love tonight!

Cheers all!

QOTD1. I’ve had a number of wines from the Languedoc-Roussillon, and from a few of the subregions (e.g., Minervois, Corbieres, Fitou), but I don’t think I’ve had any specifically from Faugeres.

QOTD2. Working. Preparing for class. Dreaming about wine.

Hey Gary-
Classic Lazy Friday ep.
QotD – To be honest, at my work I’m run the “tasting lounge” and, for Valentine’s day, I have decided to pour some Champagne and American Beluga and tomorrow I’m pouring Roses from all over the world paired with Brie and Proschuitto. I’m pretty excited about it!
Plus I’ll probably be bugging you at GaryVaynerchuk.com!
Take it easy!!!

QOTD: I’m doing what any normal person would do in Minnesota when the temperature is supposed to be around zero with a -30 wind chill. I’m going golfing on a frozen lake. http://www.wayzatachillyopen.com/

QOTD: Not a whole lot GV. I had to go to Buffalo (2 hr. drive from our college) with my Girlfriend for the weekend to take her to her Massage Therapy appointment.

Loved the 404-Error by the way!

Have a good time in Boston!

Yes, G, you are correct, you should an Ambassador of some sort for the Languedoc region. I can attest to picking up more than a few per your reviews.

Enjoy Boston and good luck w/all the Pats fans who are gonna ride you big time.

Never on the Faugeres.

I’ll be relaxing, studying for an accounting midterm, and probably watching some NCAA.

Chris Rock in Baltimore this weekend…..

So much for giving up buying wine for Lent — Gary, you are tempting me……Faugeres is a real hidden gem. Great show — have fun in Boston.

I will be working all weekend and trying to stay warm as sub zero temperatures approaches.

Faugeres? Nope…..Nada….Never even heard of it! I’m not real sure I could get into a sardine juice/black raspberry combo, but you always manage to spark my curiosity. I’m afraid I’ll miss something if I don’t try it.
QOD: We have a cause for celebration this weekend. One of my sons became engaged this past week! We’re looking at a Valentine’s Day, 2009 wedding. This weekend, my daughters, my future daughter in law and I are going shopping for wedding stuff and on the way home, we’ll pick up a bottle of bubbly and have a party when we get home. (plus watch our fav, college hoops!)
Cheers!!

QOTD: Work work work for me. There is the 22nd Annual Tough Man contest going on at the fair grounds in T-Town this weekend. Maybe they will all end up with broken jaws or heads and I will get to see them in all thier pain and so called glory while I am at work….

Working all weekend Selling Wine and educating my customers as usual. Great show GV Big fan of Faugeres and the whole Languedoc-Roussillon Region. BTW, tell your dad never to mix Politics and Wine when asking the QOTD. Same thing with Religion…very personal issues for most people. Have fun in Boston…see ya in Seattle in April..if all goes as I plan!!

QOTD: a little work, and having dinner with my boss sunday, to whom I will prove there is great wine under 15 dollars with a certain delicioso spanish red from Rioja!

I’ve figured it out Gary. You need to do 2-3 shows per week. Bottom line, you are going to burn out. Slow down, get creative, enjoy your fans. Resveratrol is king. Live it Bro!

GV digging the Faugeres love, I gotta seek this out,sounds like it’s right up my palate alley.
QOTD: Spreading the Thunder show at two wine events this weekend for Valentines day, plus running in a 5K fun run on Sunday around Green Lake in Seattle, “Love Em or Leave Em” fun run.

Can’t wait ’til Tuesday !!! Pick me,pick me (I feel like I’m the kid on the playground in grade school hoping I don’t get called last). Keeping my fingers crossed. Cheers ~ Max

Gary, Happy Friday!!!! A great week of episodes.
QOTD- Dinner with friends, 3 couples one does appetizer, one does entree, and third couple does desert. Along with the portion of the meal we decided that we also need bring a wine with our portion of the meal. We have the apps this go around so it will be interesting. I am thinking of a white wine just because everyone tells me that they normally don’t like the white stuff but every time I break it out they like it. Have a great weekend.
