great show!!!
love the rhones.
will have several wines this weekend; including the pre order Laughing Magpie from wine library. likely also would be whites from Grayhawke vineyards and from the Loire region (probably both chenin and sav blanc).
cheers!

I would have to say this was one of the most intense episodes ever and I’m gonna go ahead and I like it, like it a lot! Where’s the “Link it up, Mott” shirt at we’ve been waiting!
QOTD 2005 Leeuwin riesling and Aiguilhe Querre 2004

Gary, great to see you back! I was on the verge of calling the State Bureau to go looking for you; thought you’d gotten kidnapped by the militant wing of Bourgogne Negociants. whew!

Great show. QOTD: It’s hot here in AZ so I’m pulling out some cool crispy Albarino, Black Pig and Leeuwin Estate Riesling.

I turned my wife onto the Thunder Show and she can roll with the Vayniacs but she still hasn’t emerged from the lurker status. She wrote a comment once and then got all self conscious and deleted the post. Not all wives consider themselves WLTV widows. I mean c’mon some people watch dancing with the stars or american idol, ptew, what’s wrong with a wine show? Completely a side tangent – I just pictured Gary V on Lost. Wouldn’t it be funny if they discovered another hatch and inside was Gary V taping WLTV everyday or the island would destruct? Just an idea.

QOTD: Something special maybe a 2004 REVERIE Rousanne.

Loved the energy of today’s show even though it came on late and I watched it technically the next day.

Mmmm I love me some ChÃ¢teauneuf-du-Pape!

QOTD: I’m drinking Champagne! Why?? My grandmother is turning 100 years old! YES, that’s right… ONE ZERO ZERO… on easter Sunday, March 23rd. We’re going to be having dinner at the Portland City Grill, and drinking a Magnum of Duval-Leroy Champagne Collection “Paris” (get it? Paris is my last name! and it’s a pretty, celebratory bottle), and also an AndrÃ© Clouet Champagne Brut RosÃ© (killer Champagne for the price, $37.50 and 92.5 point average on cellartracker). I’ll try and grab a picture of her and I with the bottle. 100 years is a pretty long time… think of what she has seen developed with her life (you know.. like the modern car). Best part is she’s 100% lucid, and walks around unaided, never uses a wheelchair, walker, or cane! A couple years ago I gave her a ride on my motorcycle… a cool lady, for sure.

Forget the “Big Ass Glass” my friend Gary. Straight pulls from the bottle. REALLY BRING THE THUNDER! Keep up the energy my friend.

QOTD; It doesn’t matter, cause it will be sitting with family in a restaurant on the outskirts of Vail (Minturn) getting super stoked to hit the snow in the morning.

Hey Gary,
I found your show at the iTune Store looking for podcasts to learn from… So I downloaded all I could find, I’m well behind… I love wine, have read some books about it and love to try different bottles w/ my wife and friends. Still, my sniffy sniff needs a lot of education.
You have a great show and thanks for sharing your experience in Frace w/ us.. I’ll open a bottle of Baron De Rodrigo La Mancha 2006 from Spain…

QOTD: This weekend nothing will go better with the easter ham than a Lynmar 2005 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir.

Oh, almost forget. QOTD – I’m planning on opening a bottle of Bel Air Gallier Graves, Fresh Prince style today, and then I have to crack the Saint Cosme Ch de Pape that I’ve been holding on my shelf. How could I not after this show.

Gary,
Thor never brought the thunder like that. Way to rock. I’m planning on coming to the party next Saturday, unless its too late to get in. If anyone wanted to share a ride from Brooklyn, please give a shout. I’m planning on renting a car, and would be happy to share – or if someone has an extra seat, I’d be happy to hitch. My email is hreisig@yahoo.com
Best,
Harry

Great episode today! I know exactly what you mean about the Slim Jim in the sniffy snif. I got that exact smell from a ‘04 or ‘05 St. Alicia Reserve Merlot last year and freaked out over it. Really cool! Rock on Gavy V!

QOTD: I’m thinking of cracking open a Gruet RosÃ© – I’m craving some asian food, and the combo sounds great.

Great episode!

Aren’t you being a tad discriminating???? What about the WLTV Widows???? It’s not only guys who sit in front of their computer screen an subject their spouses to the rousing introduction at full volume….BTW.

QOTD – This weekend, we are doing a ‘Bordeaux Deconstructed’ theme at the tasting center that I work at. I’ll be sipping on my fav – a little of that PV – oh yea babe – Pirrammima Petit Verdot

QOTD- I hadn’t thought about it yet so I will decide now, I will go with Chateaunuef du Pape in honor of this episode, Easter (the Pope connection etc…) I have one 90 Beaucastel left, maybe a 98 Vieux Donjon, 00 Pegau, any of the 04’s they seem to be very approachable, I have a lot of CDP’s so we will make it a CDP weekend.

QOTD…I will be drinking a Cab/Shiraz blend. Not sure which one I will open though.

QOTD – rolling with two wines that I am bringing to my moms for an Italian Easter Dinner a Allegrini La Grola 2004 which for my dollar is a baby Amarone and a silvio grasso nobilo langhe – baby barolo – Major QPR out of Italy!

QOTD – We’ll be having pizza at my Aunt and Uncle’s house tonight (Friday), so I’ll bring over a bottle of Fontanafredda Barbera D’alba Briccotondo…

Loved #427 on a ‘meh’ morning. Thanks! If you’re going to do a WLTV widow tee, then you’ve got to have a WLTV widower tee as well…

QOTD: Something that goes well with lamb for Easter dinner. I will know what that is as soon as I’m finished w/ errands which include stopping at my favorite wine shop. Maybe if I’m incredibly fortunate, I’ll also find the Chante-Perdrix… Details to follow.
