  • looper
    Somehow, I just don't buy the 90 point score that you gave this wine. Seemed a little bit like lipservice.
    Anyways, nice show, love the couch.
    This was WLTV with a nice warm fuzzy message to it.
    And Ginger
  • Dessert Wine Nerd
    Nice to see the wine get a better score than the last one. Im sure its hard to deal with the hate mail, etc from wine drinkers and winemakers when you call it like it is. Thankfully you didnt have to slam them again. QOTD: I never liked the show. It was just goofy and I found it boring. I did like the professor, though.
  • MattUD
    Little old for me, but I will go with the professor.
  • QOTD: COME ON!!! Maryann, that's an easy one!
  • kjdion
    good show, and i like that japanese WWII soldier that got on the Island.
  • Dan-o
    I will be honest - just an OK show. I am not crazy about pricey wines, unless I am getting a true pedigree.

    QOTD - Definitely Maryann. I would have loved to have found a nice cave on the island, opened up a bottle of elegant Burgundy, and ........
  • Jon
    QOTD: it was a great cast of characters, but if i had to choose just one it would be a toss up between the professor or Gilligan.
  • yowens
    QOTD: the hot rehead
  • QOTD; Don't think that show ever aired in Norway, so.... no one...
  • Jason S.
    QOTD: Mary Ann.

    $72 for a 90 point kosher wine seems steep to me. I'm not sure how you can recommend it given the QPR.
  • pawncop
    As always good information, good show.

    QOTD - When watching as an 8 to 10 year old loved Ginger and Mary Ann, now they all are pretty lame.
  • JayZee
    QOTD: Well, my wife actually owns the entire Gilligan's Island series on VHS tape (go figure). And I certainly watched the re-runs on TV when I was a kid. I'd have to say that the Professor was my favorite character. Although, if he was so bright, you would have thought he could have devised some way to get off the stupid island!
  • QOTD: The professor was always my favorite. He was like a refined MacGyver.
  • wannaBconnoisseur
    Great friday show, eventhough i am watching it on Tuesday and would never i a million years spend $70 on that wine.

    Q-The hot redhead.
  • Shawn
    Gary, Gary, Gary. I feel a little disappointed that you felt like you had to explain yourself so much. That wine did not bring the thunder. At that price, and with that score(no matter how much you hate giving scores), that wine should not be purchased, unless you're really curious.

    QOTD: I love redheads
  • akellner
    Never have tried one, I iwll look out for it.
    QOTD: Overall, Mary Ann (come on!); the professor was cool -- where did you think MacGuyver came from? -- but if he could make an FM radio out of coconuts, why didn't he make a cell phone out of a banana or a plane out of a palm tree and get them off the island?
  • T. Reasoner
    QOTD - Mary Ann!
  • QOTD: The guy who could make a radio out of coconuts.
  • Daniel Persson
    Sorry, No TV and even if I had the show won't air in Sweden :)
  • QOTD...probably when Gilligan played a cannible
  • Kevin M
    QOTD: Kurt Russell
  • QOTD: Mary Ann was Super Boss.
  • Mark
    Gilligan
  • LauraG
    QOTD: The Professor.
  • wrc105
    QOTD: The Giant Spider...or the Mosquitos....
  • AM Runner
    QOTD - Well Mary Ann as far as the ladies went, Ginger never did it for me... from the guys it was the prof. Then again I am a science guy so it makes sense.
  • Oakmon's BF
    QOTD: Wrong Way Feldman
  • VinoVixen
    QOTD: gotta be the skipper...reminds me of my dad!
  • JerseyGirl turned CNY vayniac
    QOTD: When I was little I liked Ginger because she was so glamorous... but now my fave is definitely Gilligan! And I have to give props to the Howells, since I hail from Howell, NJ!
  • Wednesday
    Roy Hinkley is my favorite character.
    Thanks for doing the kosher show, I'm still trying them in spite of little luck with them.
  • Phil G
    the professor...
  • Rani Haykal
    Great Show!!!

    QOTD: Never really watched Gilligans Island so I cant really answer this question at all.

    --RH
  • Ginger, and of course Gilligan. Still get plenty of repeats on Free to Air TV. We do live downunder!!
  • Keith Brown
    QOTD: Dude! I'm a guy...with a brain...MARY ANN!
  • David Cole
    QOTD: Common every young guy had to like one of the ladies, Ginger or Mary Ann? Ginger was hot, but you knew she was high maintenance and it wouldn't last, so Mary Ann it was.....:)

    I've had this wine and for the money, get something else! There are so many great wines, but if you have to have Napa Valley, go with Bravante Vineyards Cab or their Trio. Each is about half of what this bottle cost.
  • QOTD: The Prof, he can give MacGyver a run for his money... if he could ever get off the island.
  • Dan M
    Qotd Professor!
  • Grapedigger
    Good episode GV! Thanks.. I like the Prof! Cheers
  • Christine
    QOTD: I have to go with the Professor, too. I always thought he was handsome and super smart. If there's anyone who'd get them off the island using coconuts and a little ingenuity, it was the Professor.
  • Derek F.
    Dude...your a freak!!!!

    QOTD: I have to go with the professor.
