Hi gary still boxing after this great episode ! you’re in perfect shape !
Remember that the wine world is a endless journey not a destination ! and i agree 100% with you. With the forthcoming easter i would like to visit and explore the pope’s cellar not in chateauneuf du pape but the vatican’s cellar i’m sure it hides great things happy easter to all of you from france

This episode presented some of the best and some of the worst in your ‘performance’. Overall — not so good.

Heheh…ya killed it today. It was a classic moment, my wife came home half way through and asked me why I was watching that annoying guy again and then like 10 seconds later you said, “I know the women are like, ‘who’s that annoying guy..’” Talk about timing, we had a good laugh over that. Anyways, loved the show as always!

Gary was inspired tonight! Great words and tempo to tonights show Gary.

I am gong to have a bottle of the 2005 von Hovel Estate Riesling Spatlese from Rudi Wiest. This baby goes for 14 bones and if you give it some air it will blow your doors off. ‘05 was a great year for Mosel Saar Ruwer and this baby has the weight, acidity, complexity and balance. Really a solid effort.
Very good with the spicy Asian take out for Saturday night.

I might also open a 2000 Eyrie Reserve Willamette Vally Pinot Noir, it should pair well with the obligatory Easter Ham on Sunday night. Probably would sell for about 40 bones right now, which is a bargain for premium Oregon(e) Pinot anymore unfortunately. Though entry level Pinot is becoming more available in the 15 to 20 range which is good to see.

I’m drinking Beaucanon Estates Cab Franc. Gary your totally right Cab Franc brings the thunder. I am down with the dirt, the poop, and the terroir. Great show man.

I am not someone that ever drinks anything, but you made me want to research wines and watch dozens of episodes of your show in hopes of finding you say flavours that I would be interested in experiencing.

Very excited about trying out a few wines in hopes of finding something that could work for my immature palette.

QOTD Saturday, A friend is buying a whole pig and cooking it by digging a hole is his backyard and roasting it there.
I’m bringing a 2005 Teroldego Rotaliano from Cantina Rotaliana Di Mezzolombardo.
It’s an Italian red.

Sunday is Easter. It’s a family meal and my Grandfather and Father are responsible for bringing the wine. Last time, I took home a Leibfraumilch Qualitswein 2006 from Dr Beckerman

Tuesday, I and some friends are having our occasional bad movie night. Usually delivered Chinese or Indian food. I am bringing Kung Fu Girl Riesling 2006 from Charles Smith Wines in Columbia Valley, Washington. I bought it based on the name alone since it seemed like an awesome wine for Bad Movie night.

MY FIRST QOTD!!!! Ok, Ive lurked long enough!!! I love you GV (in a strictly platonic, I still love my woman, kind of way) Your enthusiasm got me today, you rocked it…or was it the 2006 Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Carmenere that Ive drunk while catching up on the last couple of episodes. I think it was both! Definitely. So, I drank the 2006, couldnt find the 2005 which was rated so high, but the 2006 was good, especially at an on sale price of $9 US dollars at my local Kroger store, here in H-Town Texas (thats Houston for all ya’ll).

Ok, Im dragging this out. On to the QOTD….. Tomorrow, I will be enjoying the 2002 Wellington Syrah Reserve I purchased off of wine.woot the other week. Ive heard nothing but great stuff about it and am going to indulge!!!! Thanks again GV. Love the show. (Oh, and I promise my next comment will be much shorter. Like I said your enthusiasm got me tonight. Really pumped up!!)
