Great show, and thanks for the opportunity to see what the other wines were from 477.

QOTD: A great way to continue expanding our palates and bringing some excellent QPR to the masses – â€œMadeira: The other fortified wine from Portugalâ€

Lineup of 4 wines: (Winelibrary only carries 4 Madeiras…so including Leacocks Rainwater Madiera, Rare Wine Co Charleston Sercial, Rare Wine Co New York Malmsey, and Blandy’s 15 Year Malmsey might be an easy sell

And you have the added bonus of having some great Americana to tie in (used to toast the Declaration of Independence, etc, etc.)

I have tried to listen to your last two shows to learn what happened with the cab blind test. Well you babble so much I couldn’t take it and turned you off both times. So I don’t know what happened. I watch less and less of your shows. Twenty minutes out of my life for school yard games is too much for me ie a waste of my time. Put the dolls away and grow up. The only reason your on national TV is because they cater to buffoons of the world. Get some class man.

http://winelibrary.com/reviewwine.asp?item=2881

ok gary i picked these three wines because of a few reasons. I think you could have dinner with them start to finish and also the txacoli i belive you have never reviewed a wine made of this grape and it is one of my faves. the muga is literally my favorite wine I have ever had the pleasure of drinking, and the pedro 1927 because i just couldnt believe RP gave this wine a 96. Thanks so much and please please DO THIS SHOW.

Bring the Thunder, Feel the Love… Doesn’t matter that you sell the wine, I trust you to be objective. I’ll bet most of your customers don’t watch Wine Library TV, and I bet most watchers never buy anything from you. Keep it up!

Qotd: Just checked the website and wine library doesn’t carry them. But I’d recommend an all “Breitenbach” show featuring the later harvest riesling and others. but thats a homer pick since they’re from ohio and so I am.

QOTD:
I love vertical flight shows. Pick something (5) WL has in stock, maybe a white since it is never vertically shown, and that would be great!

Call it “White wines CAN jump” ha ha
