I was going to recommend an Oregon Pinot taste off, then thought let’s get real, most of us really need recommendations on what to try in the bottom feeder market. We who have wine with meals every day can’t always roll with wines over $15 every day. Those on a beer budget need to know when they do buy wine what is good (QPR wise) in the 5 to 7 dollar range. Give it up for the CKC! Nothing over 9.99. Available everywhere.

Great concept show. Loved it.

QOTD: Pete G is gonna back Phil G on this one. Since you talked about your love of pink (ok rose) wine in the book, let’s do an around-the-world rose show. Say a rose of malbec (Krios), a rose of sangiovese (Il Mimo) a Rhone rose (Paralell 45 maybe or something better). Really show the Vaniyacs how good rose can be.

gary should talk about the whole rev3 thing and make us feel better that we won’t HAVE to go there to watch the show. =)

Call me clueless, and you wouldn’t be the first, but after viewing the “full” episode for the cab tasting, I still don’t understand why it had to be edited, cut and hidden under a link. I thought I heard Gary mention something about “private”, maybe private label in this episode? It still makes no sense to me.

Re: Episode 477

You may be a little obnoxious sometimes 😉 BUT you have always called things as you saw them. In my book that is called honesty. I would not have thought you had something up your sleeve.

Gary,

So glad to see you reviewing a Denner wine! I happen to love them too – hence the reason for the screenname above. Sorry I missed the cutoff for the QOTD…selfishly I’d just be requesting reviews for MORE Denner wines…or Hansen wines from the Paso area.

Cheers!

#477. Nuff said. QOTD…………..”Bang For The Buck” show. Three of my “go to” wines: Cooks Brute Sparkling wine, Bears’ Lair California Merlot, and the Alta Vista Premium 2005 Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow in Philly.

Ummm i hope its a book signing, I couldnt stick around for the “throw down” or whatever it is afterwards.

Nice show – good to see so different blends.

I would love to see a “bubbly” show – it’s been a while. I love drinking sparklers for no special reason. Hey, how about a 4th of July theme with “sparklers”??

Rockin it out bro…great show as always!!!!

Who has been doubting you? Who? WHO..? Morons.

Mott under the bus? oh, you mean Mott under the table? Mott under the Tuscan sun? Hey, there is an idea… haha. I love your video blog, Gary. Hang in! Mott will save your butt every time!
Good show, nice energy!
I have found more 86-89 rated wines I like, than 90 plus wines. So I shy away from those high up, must be me. My palate. It’s ok, i’m comfortable with it.

The Travisity Chard, I agree. Not me.
QOTD: HOgue Reisling, Kupelwieser Alto Adige Pinot Grigio

QOTD: I am rather disappointed that Wine Library doesn’t carry any Becker Vineyards stuff. I would have loved to see Gary’s reaction to Becker Vineyards Viogner out of Fredericksburg, TX. I’ve also heard good things lately about Becker Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon. I realize that the Texas Hill Country isn’t Napa or the Rhone Valley, but isn’t WLTV about expanding ones palate?

Yo GeeVee, Eeeexcellent Episode!!!! Gooorgeous Vinos!!!! I know what Ya
mean about “89 Point Phobia”. I had a girlfriend that would totally
freak-out if the wine she was served was not a 90 Point Wine…………
PLEEEEEEEZ, GIMME A BREAK……………….

QOTD: Roses, da Pink Stuff………….

Hey Gary,
Happy to hear you’re making everyone happy and moving on. Good move.
QOTD: I’d like to see a Burgundy intensive show – a few regions side by side. Maybe you can get Burghound to come on with you (I’d be happy to join as well!)
So here’s my lineup, for red (a white Burgundy regional showdown would be equally fantastic)
Michel Gros Nuits St-George 2005
Chapuis Languettes Corton 2005
Domaine Af Gros Vosne Romanne Aux Reas 2005
Esmonin Estournelles St.jacques Gevrey Chambertin 2006

Great Show!! I would love to see a Muga!

Muga Rioja Especial 2003 – “Nik, link it up” ha ha…

Hey how about a blind tasting of under ten dollar cabs…wait! maybe thats a bad idea

I don’t know if y’all carry any, but what about deep south wines, maybe from Louisiana and call it a Cajun Blind Taste Test.

Good episode as usual. As for the Question of the DAY!

I’d like to see you review 1/ Chateau La Baume Costieres De Nimes ’05

2/Arnoux Jean Marie Vacqueras ’04
and
#3/Domaine De La Garrigue Cotes Du Rhone Cuvee Romaine 2006

aka Mike in Nebraska

QOTD : I thought with Bordeaux prices going through the roof, it would be great to do a Bergerac show. But you don’t have any – Say What????

QoTd
How about some 90+ point Viognier. There are several on the WL site. Talk about good value! And also perfect for summer!
