Loving the amount of wines you are highlighting from Burgundy, and the big shoutout to the Burghound. Looking forward to you doing shows on name droppin’ regions of Vos Rom, or Pommard.

QOTD: Can’t really speak to worst, but the best wine that WLTV has helped me find is the Nicolas Cole. I

Qotd: Best wine, hands down McMyers Price Grenache 2005 or 2004 Domaine Chevalier – both awesome for totally different reasons.

Worst wine – honestly I can’t remember the name of it, but it wasn’t one GV recommended – I just picked it off the site. However – it was a rotten wine that wasn’t corked – I guess the Felline Primitivo was way oer hyped in my humble opinion – but still an 87 point wine. Wish I could remember the name of the other one to warn others. WL has only had one huge miss and that was it.

Nice episode GV. Looking forward to the Arneis episode. I adore Arneis, and it’s a perfect summer wine.
QOTD: had a Cayuse Callaix which was corked, so that kind of sucked. That would be the worst. The best, hard to say. You have made so many good recommendations. Maybe the Tomasso Reciotto de Valpolicella. WOW, what a wine.

QOTD: Best: 2005 Pillar Box Red, Worst: n/a
I really find I get more ideas and inspiration from the show than specific wines. If I lived in the NYC/NJ market, I would probably have a much higher correlation of “wines watched reviewed-to-bought”. That said, there are a good number of wines on the show I recognize as available in this market (Vancouver).

QOTD: After watching the episode on Brunello di Montalcino, I splurged on a 2001 Castello Banfi. Very nice!

Hey Gar!! Long time no see. I’m a part-time lurker. QOTD: the worst wine for me was one that I bought from a gift shop in France, solely for the fact that it had the fleur de lys symbol on the bottle. The best wine for me was an extraordinary Austrian wine-Muscatel-that I experienced at a wine tasting party. Thanks for the excellent show. I’m still waiting for my birthday shout out. Ask Matt, Kristen Murphy emailed him the other day regarding this important matter.

Not a lurker here but always happy to give you my dime!!

QOTD: Best wine I searched out because of WLTV is a combination and the list can go on Tocai Friulano; Sauternes; Sagranatino (sp) Nebbiola. The education never stops and I don’t ever want it to. Your passion is contagious and I am proud to say that I am part of the vanyer nation! Haven’t really found a bad one!

I would gladly welcome you to the little town on Morris, IL and can guarantee 100 followers!! Hope you come closer to my state than Iowa!! We really love you here!!!

…Hanging at home in Central, NJ…I havn’t bought a specific wine that you had on the show (although, I’ve been making a list). But I’ve been trying new things. Different varieties and regions. I would say the best wine was a Malbec from Argentina (I don’t recall the producer). It was on the wine by the glass list at a Brazilian Rodizio in NYC. The worst – well…I’m a little cheap. I tend to buy wines that are $15 or less so I end up with a lot of so-so wine. The worst I would say was the Mirassou Cabernet Sauvignon. Not that it was bad…just not that great…might have been better with food.

Interesting episode today GV! Hope the taping went well! And I can’t wait to see you in Boston!!!!

QOTD: Best= Albarino! I love that grape! Worst= Pinotage. Ugh. I just can’t deal with the nastiness. But hey, that’s just my palate.

Best: Gruner Veltlinger; yummy every time.
Worst: Albarino…we have tried several and so far didn’t like any.

I loooooove floral whites! Especially ones with hints of rose. Thanks! Pinotage stinks.

Best: either the ‘99 Lopez de Heredia Bosconia or the ‘03 Noblaie Chinon or the ‘02 Chateau Bellevue. Satisfying to brain and gut, all three.

Worst: cheap Portuguese reds, one winner against half a dozen PAZZZZZZZZZZZZes.

You know you want to come to Des Moines.

Great show today!!!
QOTD- Tough question because I really like Priorat but then again I also really like Albarino now too. The worst would be Pike Peak Vineyards Zebs Red, I tried it in the interest of expanding my palett because trying new things is what we do.

QOTD: Best (Adejas d’Altamira Albarino “Brandal” 2005)

Dark show today, Gary. Take care of yourelf!

I’m excited you didn’t bump SF from the book tour.

WOW, I got truncated–bizarre! As I was saying:

“Hey, I got five kids to feed,”(bonus for picking up the movie reference), so for everyday quaffing I was unfortunately drinking a fair amount of swill. WLTV really opened my mind to seeking out some of the awesome QPRs available from around the world, and to trying wines I had never entertained before. So, thanks to Gary & WLTV, I’m now 100% swill free!

BEST wine- Achaval Ferrer Quimera. Awesome!
WORST wine- (Not bought on your rec., but in my cellar at the time I saw your review) Pure EVIL Chardonnay.

Interestingly enough, I’m drinking another one of your recs tonight, a 2UP Shiraz, and I am loving it.

QOTD: I was pretty much a California wine chauvinist for a lot of years (Team America, %$#& yeah)! My position was that the US could produce wines on a par with anyone in the world.

Truth is, I still think we do, but the prices of top Cali cabs, chards, pinots, & Zins were (and still are)getting a bit scary.

QOTD- best wine by a pretty good margin was the Masperla 2005 Priorat. Totally blown away!! Worst- I tired some odd GREEK RED from my local wineshop (expanding my pal) it was undrinkable. poured that crap out

QOTD: there are a lot of bests, including Washington, SW France and just trying new things like GruV and Albarino. worst would probably be Italian white varietals – I’m trying new things here Gary but they’ve all been misses so far…

QOTD- Best: (Domaine de la Chanteleuserie 2005 Bourgueil) Tried it cause it was a Cab Franc which I had heard Gary talk about.

Worst: (Boarding Pass 2005 Shiraz) Tried it because I wanted to see what an “over extracted australian” tastes like.

Oh, and Gary, read my e-mail by the 12th (its a b-day shout out), and come to Denver for a book signing. Please.

-FIRST TIME COMMENTER-

Aiight, I’ve been watching the show for awhile and you convinced me to leave a comment.

I have a question…

I want to hit up a good wine & cheese bar or a place that specializes in wine tasting here in NYC for my B-day (May 8th). Any suggestions?

Thanx!

I enjoy the fact that even though you review what are, ostensibly, not so great wines, I still come away having learned something and always to trust my own palate regardless. Thanx and have a great show on CNBC!
QOTD: Love Albarino, not too jazzed about Torrontes. Go figure!
Trying to find some interest to bring you to Tucson-with all the rain you’ve been having it would be a nice change of pace. Don’t worry, it’s a dry heat.

QOTD:
Best – Heartland Stickleback White

Worst – Porca De Murca, Douro from Portgual, Tinto 2005
Bought at the WL on the big party on March 19th to try a Douro and it just dissapointed. Very weak and kind of watery. I hope that it was this specific wine and not the varietal!

Great Show!!!

QOTD: Best wine would have to be the 2006 Munzberg Weissburgunder Kabinett trocken. I absolutely loved this wine. Worst wine I’ve had from the thunder show….I havent been too disappointed with alot of wines Ive tried as I tend to stay away from wines you’ve panned on the show

Unfortunately, of the wines that I contemplate buying, (based on your reviews), none of the stores, (and there are many in the DC area), carry but a few of them. However, of the few successful finds, I really haven’t had a bad bottle…….yet. A couple of good ones though. Naturally, I can’t remember most of the names, so I repurchase by label. Works for me. The Alamos Melbec comes to mind, as does the some Susana Balboa Crios. [By hook or crook, I will find the La Linda].

I like how GV grabs a few wines and one of them doesn’t fit the bill. This is exactly what we buyers go through when trying new stuff (actually it’s usually 50/50)!

QOTD: The workd wine I’ve had was an extremely poor rendition of Egri Bikaver, but I can’t racall the producer. The Best I’ve had is a toss up. I haven’t had anything that has blown my mind. Top honors go to Chateau Beulieau 2001, The Ravenswood Zin sourced from Lodi 2005. However, I each region/varietal has its own champion…
