QOTD: 2001 Silver Oak Napa Valley Cabernet tasted on Valentines Day…what a dissapointment! I used to bow down to silver oak gods…boy has my pal changed. This wine beat me silly with a 2 X 4 and then try to splash a bucket of vanilla in my face to wake me up…yikes!

Thanks for putting up shows even though you’re gone this week!

QOTD: I’ve got a list of about 30 wines you’ve reviewed that I can’t find anywhere. Every new wine store I go into in the Tampa or Miami area brings new hope and new disappointment. I’m still able to go on genre and find some good stuff though.

qotd: couldn’t find most of the wines (that you’ve tasted in the show) at lcbo in toronto…soooooooo disappointed

WOW …. tough day. I can’t help but wonder if some of the disappointment stemmed from the hype and price point of those wines.

QOTD: Not being able to have any wine all last week on account of the flu!!!!

Wiens in Temecula. Bought my first case of wine. 12 bottles of 2005 Chardonnay. 8 bottles of vinegar and 4 that were ok. You win some and you lose some. No harm done.

Gary, thats why we watch..for your HONESTY!!!! That goes to show that the total tab for the evening does not mean you’re getting some. QOD. The previous season Cowboy-Seahawks Playoff game, worse than the ‘67 Cowboy- Packers Ice Bowl. Don’t remember much but my family said I even scared the dog.

QOTD: The last time that I was severely disappointed was this past weekend when the #1 Memphis Tigers played #2 Tennessee Vols. How can a #1 ranked team be number one when they average 50% from the free throw line, and get outrebounded every game????!! If that is the state of NCAA basketball this year, then I want to just skip March.

Great show, by the way Gary V! Have a good time on your travels.

Not a bad show, even though the wines were a bit of a miss. I am definitely looking forward to a week of battles. If you get 2000 comments one day, can you and Mott wrestle?

QOTD: No huge disappointments in my wine life, because even wines I didn’t love have given me a reference point. I am still really learning so anything I try is worth the experience. I don’t have to buy much wine though, so that helps.

Just love it when you taste wines so far out of my price range. The closest I will ever come to them. Sounds fortunate in this case, except that you didn’t use the Thundermug, which probably threw you off.

“we’re making wine wether you like it or not” THAT….is a killer quote.

QOTD: Wow…I’d have to say last night. I popped a 2005 Lazy Creek Pinot Noir and it wasn’t at all like I remembered it at the winery…funny thing was that it was our first winery of the day…and it really blew my socks off back then. I’ll sit on the other two bottle….see if they just need more time. Wow….

QOTD: Hmmm… I opened a 1999 Pride Merlot, which I’d traded for at the winery. I’d saved it for several years and was looking forward to it. It was corked. That sucked.

QOTD: I had a schematic design presentation with clients that went really poorly about a month ago.

Quirky and fun episode! Really enjoyed it for some reason, more than normal. I’m on a bit of mission to start to feel the chardonnay. Maybe visiting Burgundy in a few weeks will help.

QOTD: Maurice Ecard Savigny Les Beaune, around $50-60 CDN, and I’ve got $8 french swill in my glass currently that is just as good. I feel your pain with the droppage of big coin for disappointment. I’m not a fan of that. At all.

QOTD: Maybe not the last time but to stick with a sports themed response. 1995 (my freshman year) Michigan State (with a top notch bball team) losing in the first round of the NCAA tourney to Weber State. Had to wait till 2000 for them to claim the title.

Have had some wine disappointments too, but they were to be expected- NC wines just don’t have the backbone yet (Raffeldini Wine Makers Blend, Duplin Ten), but I’m not gonna rule them out. After all NC is my home for good now!

Sorry for the disappointing match up.

QOTD: We can’t even think of a recent shocking disappointment…mild disappointments maybe.
