Yay for kosher wines! Gotta try some one of these days.

Read an article about Kosher wine in WS the other day, very interesting the levels there were, especially in Israel, some sets of rules said only Jewsish people could handle the wine…making manpower a huge part of making the wine. Pretty wild stuff.

QOTD: Toss up between the Professor and MaryAnn, esecially because in the first season’s theme song they got Punk’d â™«”…The movie Star, and the rest! Here on Gilligan’s Isle!”â™« Put that in your beaker and decant it.

Never watched Gilligan’s Island, always watched Duke’s of Hazard, or CHiPs.

QOTD: Gilligan! The husband’s is the Professor…

Good ep. How come you didn’t have Mott provide a different palate’s perspective on this wine? Just wondering.

QOTD: The Skipper! Anyone who can deal with Gilligan’s incompetance and still call him his little buddy is a paragon of patience.

And a Kosher vineyard has to lie fallow every 7th year – a bugger if that’s a great year.

QOTD : I was between about 9-12 when I was watching that show, so obviously it’s Ginger – those sequins really showed of her curves My nickname is even Ginger! (Totally unrelated, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story)

I love the show. But the “taste relativism” is getting a bit much. SOME WINES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. It’s NOT all subjective. Just as Beethoven is better than Haydn, or a hamburger is better than a pile of maggots. An 82 Petrus is BETTER than a 2006 Yellow Tail. Yes, people like things differently, and that’s what’s important when deciding what to drink, but at some point a wine expert has to be able to say, “Yes, this wine is better than that one.”

Let me see, a 69 last year, resulting in a near revolt. This year a 90. Smells a bit like an NBA make up call.

QOTD: I always liked Mrs. Howell she can make the best martini!!

Pretty laid back ep!
June 6, 2008

Sarah Morgan
QOTD: How can I choose? Today I guess I’m most Professory.

Awesome idea for the weekend.

@BF on “taste relativism” – some wine is good and some wine is bad. But within the giant universe of good wine, there’s a whole lot of preference, and I think that was Gary’s point. …also, did you just compare Haydn to a pile of maggots?

Happy weekend everybody. I’m going to go find someone to look up.

Saa Saa Seventy-two bones? Major pass at my house. Somehow, I got the feeling that you really wern’t in to the Cab, but you covered your continued disappointment nicely. QOTD? Hello………………Mary Ann.

Too funny! I planned a mini-adventure tomorrow on a sailboat named “The Gilligan”

wow GV just saw you on systm nice cameo and June 23rd means what?

Panosh
QOTD:
Mary Ann would be at the top. Girl next door thing. She would have been good in Maxum. I liked the Professor for what he could invent and Gilligan for the “Who gives a sh*t” approach to most everything. I agree with bfrankphoto in that the professor never lost weight, but then again, neither has Hurley on Lost. Too many Papaya’s I think. Gotta stop, starting to digress.

Liked them all actually.

QOTD: The professor.

SJR
Mary Ann… how could I resist the innocent farm girl persona? And Dawn Wells is a great person in real life too.

this wine is completely out of my price range so I’m not even tempted. Some recent memorable wines were my first Chilean Carmenere which smelled of smokey bacon, an Argentinian Melbac which smelled of pumpkin pie with fresh cream!!! and a Canadian Baco Noir which smelled like olive oil! Anyways as you point out its often hard to find some of the more obscure wines that you feature, maybe the mail order thing is in my future…

going to my cousins wedding tomorrow, so will see lots of people I havent seen in a long time.

QOTD: I was going to say Ginger but then I remembered a recent news
story and changed my vote to Mary Ann, who was recently busted for POT at age 69.

I’m a little young for Gilligan’s Island, but I saw a decent amount of reruns when I was younger…so I’m just gonna go with the Professor.

Rick D
QOTD: Gotta go with Maryanne.

Getting ready to go to the local wine bar to see if they will display my wife’s wine themed paintings and have a couple of slurps. Oops some GG just slipped in there. Looking forward to the weekend. It is my Mother-In Law’s 90th Birthday. She still loves her red wine.

The Skipper was the best character, though I liked Mary Ann for other reasons.

You didn’t sell me on the 90, for real? Never watched GI.

Don’t know. Ginger was sexy, the Professor was smart, Gilligan was goofy, Maryann was cute, the Skipper was, umm, the Skipper. All the parts were greater as a whole ensemble.

June 6, 2008

Satty
QOTD: I’ll go with Mary Ann as my favorite… though I’m still confused as to why she was on the “Three Hour Tour” in the first place. Somehow this young, single, girl from Kansas ended up marooned on a island in the Pacific with a bunch of people she had no apparent connection to. If this were Lost they would have needed four or five flashbacks to give us the reason.
June 6, 2008

senator
QOTD: Talk about the things that separate people and their tastes! This is one of the classics. Beatles or Stones? I’ll take the Beatles. Big Mac or Quarter Pounder? Give me the Quarter Pounder. Then… Ginger or Mary Ann? Mary Ann all the way for me baby!
June 6, 2008

Lawrence Leichtman
The professor as he could make anything out of anything.
June 6, 2008

laposte
QOTD:
Ginger..what are you stupid?
June 6, 2008

ev
qod-easy! Thurston Howell lll. He drank, relaxed, and had boatloads of cash to have anything he wanted, including Ginger and MaryAnn. Actually maybe only Ginger, SHE could be bought, and hey, she was in Playboy. Great job on the last 2 episodes, Gavi and Lagrein!!! My suggestion again would be to quickly point these out on a map. To locate areas on a map only increases the interest.
June 6, 2008

Bernie
qotd: Professor. He had it all, the brains and the girls.
June 6, 2008

PaVo
QOTHD: Man…The professor was pretty badass…so I’ll go with him, though he never invented a way to get them off the island…so maybe it should be Ginger for hotness…nah the professor…If we were stuck on the island I’d make him help me make wine.

Now off to email my favorite Aunt and Uncle Paola and Gustavo in Sydney haven’t spoken to them in ages!
June 6, 2008

Purple Tooth
QOTD: The Howells. They would appreciate wine but wouldn’t be snobby about it.
June 6, 2008

Craig Rost
Maryann. Sweet inncent and very hot
June 6, 2008

pete c
QOTD- I’ll go with Ginger, since no one else chose her. Yes, an air head, but deeper than she looked.
June 6, 2008

JonE
Pedigree can only take one so far.

QOTD: Gilligan ofcourse, I’m just as lost.
June 6, 2008

WineWoman(formerly donnamarie)
QOTD: The Professor. I liked Gilligan when he played the beatnik, Maynard G. Krebs on Dobie Gillis.

Thought you were going to have to send your favorite shirt to the dry-cleaners when you took a swig from the decanter. Luckily you weren’t lying down on the couch when you did it.
June 6, 2008

Andy
QOTD— Gilligan of course
June 6, 2008

Next wine to revisit: Molly Dooker.

QOTD: That was a true ensemble cast. I couldn’t single one out as sillier than the other.
June 6, 2008

Brent Bean
QOTD: Definatly the professor. I mean how can you compete with someone who can make a coconut radio!
June 6, 2008

C-Lo
Hey GV, fun show today. QOTD: Mary Ann. I wanted to be like her. Have a good weekend. Keep it real.
June 6, 2008

QotD: Mary Ann…duh.
June 6, 2008

DirtWineKen
Although Mary Ann was lots more fun to look at, I’ve got to go with the Professor; after all, he always seemed to be hangin out with the chicks.
June 6, 2008

dAve
QOTD: hmm. who would I like stranded with or who do I think I’d like to be? Maybe it’s different answers. smile.
OK. so I like Ginger cause she is so shallow. And it’s the professor cause he is almost as smart as I’d like to be.

hahahaha
June 6, 2008

Rowland
qotd: the Professor, he knows the scoop.

BUT SERIOUSLY, Gary, I need resolution. Of course I’m talking about episode 477, or, as I will here on be referring to it as; Le mystÃ¨re de l’Ã©pisode 377, MystÃ¨re et Intrigue dans le New Jersey. ” It’s killn me Gary. I can’t eat, i can’t sleep, certainly i can’t expand my pallet. Just lie to me Gary, make something up, anything … something >[sniffel]
June 6, 2008

MattyO
great show…love the controversy!

QOTD: the professor…i wanted to be a professor in real life so, i liked him the best.
June 6, 2008

TJB
QOTD: Mary Anne of course. Mr Howell 2nd “Lovie”
June 6, 2008

Cuse Wino
QOTD- I would take Maryann and Ginger
Nice swig from the decanter
June 6, 2008

Rowland
p.s. I just officially decided that from now on the word Mott is to mean; “a monster that lives behind the camera and has a preference for white wines.” Got it everyone?
June 7, 2008

Aaron S.
Grape flavors? No way!

Gary, let me tell ya… go over to your pals at Admiralty Wine and get some Tishbi Estate Winery Syrah or Single Vineyard Red Meritage(-esque)!

QOTD: Maryann’s a cutie, but I do enjoy the discourses of the Professor, and of Thurston Howell III as well.

Later man, have a good weekend!
June 7, 2008

Fangorn81
You know Gary, the first half dozen times I watched this program I thought you were saying “Ma” every time you said “Mott”.

It was like, what is the deal? This guy has his MOM tape him ranting about wine? Why is he always yelling at his mom?! Then when I found out you OWNED a huge wine store, I was like, there is no way that he has to have his MOTHER taping this, doesn’t he have some employees or something?

Of course, when I finally heard you talking ABOUT your mom TO Mott, I knew something wasn’t right. Then, FINALLY you said “Chris Mott” and I was like “OMG duh!” That is the guys last name!!!

Man I felt kinda stupid, but it was still funny. I think it was your accent that threw me off.

Oh yeah, QOTD: The professor. Bamboo was his muse.
June 7, 2008

Shannon
Gary,

Loved the drinking from the decanter and the random QOTD – I wish I could spend a day in your head .

QOTD: The Professor.
We’re just going to miss you in Edison. Coming to Metuchen/Edison on June 12th. Bummer!
June 7, 2008

Susan
Gary – QOTD: HHHuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm, difficult to pick just one……….I like both Mr. and Mrs. Howell. I like Gilligan as well. But then again, there is the professor…………………………………………………………..Don’t make me pick just one!!!! :0
June 7, 2008

teckdeck2008
qotd: honestly, i’ve hardly watched that show. so i do not have a favorite.

and as for the earlier bit, I just sent an e-mail to my cousin in Iraq that I haven’t communicated with in over a year. so i was one step ahead of you.
June 7, 2008

Mike Z in SD
QOTD: Gilligan himself… he was so bumbling and silly
June 7, 2008

Chris in Tulsa
QOTD: Mr. Howell, because he probably had a awesome cellar with great Bordeaux and Burgundy wines!
June 7, 2008

Saftig
QOTD: I rather like the crazy straw that is your mind. Makes perfect sense to me. I’m gonna hafta go with the Professor-quiet, smart, easier on the eye than the other island offerings. Then again, Ginger……………..
Have a goofy weekend.
June 7, 2008

cheech
Its Friday spitter? spit out of the decanter?
June 7, 2008

neutron212
Mary Ann she had that farm girl thing going on and becasue she was a farm girl you know she can cook some kick ass pies or cobblers
June 7, 2008

Justin L Ove
QOTD: Gilligan…the skipper too…the millionare and his wife…the movie star…the professor and Mary-Anne..Oh, I can’t decide.
June 7, 2008

J Crazy
I’m so glad you asked that question because NO ONE ever gives credit where credit is due: the island. My favorite character is the island. You can change Gilligan or anyone else but with out the island there would be no show. Thank you island.

Lovin me some kosher wine.
June 7, 2008

Jim in Atlanta
QTOD – Mary Ann, of course.
June 7, 2008

Mike V
QOTD: The Prof of course.
June 7, 2008

Taylor
Great show, good to see that the wine improved with its newer vintage.
QOTD I would have to say ginger because of her I refer to all redheads as gingers plus she was a very good looking women, close second would be the professor even though he did make all the stuff, but could never fix the boat
June 7, 2008

TonyY
Enjoyed your talk and meeting you at SEED yesterday, had a great time.

QOTD: Ginger

QOTD: Marry Anne of course! Professor — Ginger next. Have a great weekrnd everyone….it’s a hot-one. Stay cooool!
June 7, 2008

thefaamakesmedrink
GV,

My favorite character is from ‘The Producer’, which aired October 3, 1966. Phil Silvers played Harold H. Hecuba III, who wound up stranded on the desert isle (didn’t EVERYONE at some point) and had the castaways put on a presentation of ‘Hamlet’.

Gilligan: “I never said I was an actor”.

Hecuba: “When the great Harold H. Hecuba III says you’re an actor, you’re an actor”.

Gilligan: “Okay, I’m an actor”.

Hecuba: “Believe me, you’re no actor”.

They don’t write ‘em like that, anymore…
June 7, 2008

Pete G
Way to get on the soapbox and preach it Reverend G – respect your “pal”!

QOTD: Was not a fan of the show. If I had to watch it I would focus on Ginger fo shizzle.
June 7, 2008

Malphas
Got my computer back up and running, so I missed a lot of the fun these past few weeks.

QotD: I think my favorite character from Gilligan’s Island would have to be either Gilligan himself, or the Professor. Everything happens to Gilligan, but it’s the Professor who started the whole “coconut tech.”
June 7, 2008

Nathan Stuart
Ya Gilligan always maid me laugh. But it never occurred to me that Mr. Howell probably had a great collection of wine! That was a good point Chris in Tulsa.
June 7, 2008

Not A Lurker N E More
Off Topic, but just tried a 10 bone Aglianico called Ars Poetica – Vulcano.
Would love Gary to try it to tell me if this is an OAK MONSTER. I’m a newbie at this tasting stuff and I’d like to know if I’m right or not.

QOTD – Maryann is my favorite – I’m a sucker for the girl next door type !!
June 7, 2008

Oklahoma Michael
QOTD-Ginger on Monday Wednesday Friday. Maryann Tuesday Thursday Saturday. Sunday compare stories with the Professor
June 7, 2008

Rebecca
The professor! He was most likely to figure out how to make some truly tropically, nutty vino.
June 7, 2008

Sharon
Wow, I haven’t seen that show in so long, I guess Ginger being Marilyn-esque is the most memorable for some reason. You’re so right about everyone’s tastes being different, and evolving, it’s so true.
June 7, 2008

Kristen
loved when you drank out the decanter…that was classy!

QOTD: Wow, I didn’t think the Professor would be so popular, but he was my favorite. And I agree with Rebecca, he’d definitely figure out how to make some wine (probably for the Howells).
June 7, 2008

ahh giligan’s island, “the male pornographic fantasy…. guys get it all, the madonna and the whore. who do we get? a geek, a fat guy, and a brainy scientific type…. the professor was sexy!’ : dazed and confused

qotd: ginger : )
June 7, 2008

I am still yet to try a kosher wine of any sort..thanks for the reminder!

QOTD: The Minnow
June 7, 2008

RickStar
ummm… the Howell’s. I liked how Mr. Howell had his little teddy bear
June 7, 2008

Omar
Solid episode!
I have a question to any vayniack that can answer it. I haven’t been into wine for long, but I’m wondering how do winemakers infuse different flavors (i.e. cherry, strawberry, apple, pear, pepper, truffles, etc.) into their wines?

Thank you

QQTD: Ginger
June 7, 2008

MrJCG1
Omar,

They don’t really “infuse” those flavors. The wine “triggers” the same taste buds that, say, a cherry would.

It’s quite similar to eating something for the first time and saying, hmmm, that tastes like (fill in the blank). Oh, I got a good analogy. The first time most people try frog’s legs, they usually say it tastes like chicken. But, we all know it’s not chicken.

Wine (well “real” wines) are made completely from grapes. The flavors come from grapes alone.

The Skipper!

YoungDave
QOTD: The Professor. He was the ultimate ladies’ man, had Mary-Ann and Ginger all over him at different times, had looks, charm, and brains, and kept their life interesting and innovative from day one until their final rescue.

David M Roberts
QOTD: The Professor. He lacked the hot pants that Ginger and Mary Ann wore, but he could fashion a radio out of a coconut. How cool is that?
June 8, 2008

Derek F.
Dude…your a freak!!!!

QOTD: I have to go with the professor.
June 8, 2008

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.
June 8, 2008

Good episode GV! Thanks.. I like the Prof! Cheers

Qotd Professor!
June 9, 2008

Bobby Bo
QOTD: The Prof, he can give MacGyver a run for his money… if he could ever get off the island.
June 9, 2008

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.
June 9, 2008

Keith Brown
QOTD: Dude! I’m a guy…with a brain…MARY ANN!

Ginger, and of course Gilligan. Still get plenty of repeats on Free to Air TV. We do live downunder!!

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?

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

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.

QOTD: The professor was always my favorite. He was like a refined MacGyver.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 ……..

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.

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.
