Q-Some favorites are Brunello, Amarone, Chateauneuf. Worst, Spanish wines stand out in my mind.

My best and worst experiences are regarding the same things. My palette has been expanded, but I now have a tendency to just blurt things out about the wine, beer, whisky…. that I am tasting. My girlfriend finds it to be very annoying. I however think that it is fantastic. I bought a jar of cassis jam recently, and now I know. But to answer your question: my expanded palette.

Watched some shows when you first started, but got overwhelmed by the pace; started watching recently with the significant other and we’re hooked. Tried a Greco di Tufo that went down very nicely, but haven’t been lurking long enough to try a bad one yet.

Saw your question about whether you should drop to fewer shows per week and, much as I love the Thunder Show, it’s tough keeping up with five shows a week. They’re so informative that you don’t want to skip, but five is a lot; three would be easier on the conscience

As for the book tour? You’re only doing the continental US, so we’ll have to pass…

QOTD: Worst- a house wine in a restoraunte in Tuscany and the best a Burnello in Montalcino. I have been in Tuscany for the past 10 days.

Worst was the previous secret pack, the red with the smiley face on it. Cute marketing, but off-balance wine with some funk in there that seemed like bad winemaking.

Looking forward to trying Cornas. I have not yet taken the plunge, but it’s on the list for the next wineshop visit.

Wow, pretty deep question that will require some extra thought… I’ve tried many different varietals and regions after reviewing WLTV episodes. Some of the big winners have been the Portugese Reds and Greco di Tufo wines. Torrontes were a good value but certainly have varied in quality!

QOTD: The best was the Pasodoble Red that you went wild on so I bought a case and it is outstanding. The worst? THe Quinta Carolina that you recommended. I bought four bottles and the first two were awful. The third one was actually pretty good so I think the first two were a bit corked or something - they just were bad.

QOTD-

Best: Started getting into some really excellent Italian varietals that I’d never tried before (especially Nebbiolo). Also, the 2005 Sea Smoke Southing.

Worst: had a couple shiraz-viognier that I wasn’t crazy about.

QOTD

Worst: Had a 24 hour lay-over in Tunisia and purchased a bottle of both red and white to try when i returned home… Tasted like petrol mixed with grapes that were crushed by the fungi foot of a wooley mammoth.

Best: My girlfriend bought home a 1/4 bottle of Chateau Yquem 1985 that was served at a party in Monaco.. That was structurally the best wine i have ever had.

not that i’m an expert, but i’m glad to hear you say that it was too hot. I’m finding about 2/3 of the 05 whites to be “hot” from alcohol mostly. the 04’s and even more so the 06’s are just slaying it!

Long time fan, recent viewer. Long time customer with Shoppers Discount Liquors. Thanks for the wine that you recently donated to the NJ Photoconferance held at the Visual Art Center of NJ in Summit.The receptions in which your wines were served were so popular that I had to BUY an additional case.

The dry Tokaji of secret packs past was a pretty fun experience.

I can’t say I’ve had any bad experiences as a result of the thundershow, though I’ve certainly has a number of lousy wines. Tonight I had a pinotage that tasted thoroughly awful. Fifty points for being alcohol made from grapes. Ten points for some actually complex fruit flavors. Minus five points for being really bitter. That’s 55, folks.

Tough question today.

Best: A Sicilian white: Cusumano Insolia. Never would have gone there without your encouragement, and it even had a glass “cork”!

Worst: We tried a Uruguayian Tannat / Cab Franc. Monster sulfur dioxide.

QOTD: Best–Tokaji goes really well with roasted chicken and with the hazelnut chocolates we enjoyed after dinner

Worst–don’t think I have one yet. Aside from WLTV, my pal doesn’t really take to Chardonnays. I keep trying them hoping to cultivate a like of them and it hasn’t worked yet.

First of all: I was a lurker for about 200 or 300 episodes. I do not know why I decided to answer this question of the day but here it is:

My best and worst experience are actually with the same wine: Elio Altare Dolchetto d’Alba. After Gary have it a very good score I decided to thry it and I loved it (I would have scored it 91-92). So I bought 6 more bottles of it. I drank 4 of them so far and they were no way near the experience I had with the first bottle. They were nor flawed but I scored them between 86 and 88. I never had a wine with such bottle variation.

Where am I? Antwerpen - Belgium

BTW love your show Gary

QOTD: Thanks for revealing Barbera and Dolcetto grapes and Languedoc region. Thes wines really bring the qpr thunder. Other than that - our little country´s market situation is a bit different from yours; we don´t get the exact wines from the exact producers you talk about.

QOTD: Best was a wine from Languedoc (can’t quite remember the whole name). Something with “oligocene”in the name. Delicious Chateauneuf style wine. Worst was the Tensley Syrah. Actually not a bad wine, but just not my style.
