QOTD: This will probably be double digits on the times i’ve submitted these two wines as answers for other WLTV episodes but I still love these wines!

Red: De Martino Maule Valley Chile 2006 single Vineyard Malbec. Not the fakey fake violets you can get on some malbecs, not too much residual sugar either, it’s £12 ($15-18?) it’s the QPR that makes it a wine I COULD drink regularly, although haven’t had it in 11 months (NYE!) too busy expanding my palette!

White: I love white burgs and dry/off-dry rieslings but just to be different i really like Suavia’s Soave. It looks like the whole Soave jug wines make the good producers’ wines a QPR steal, as with Chablis! Classic crisp italian white, pear and minerals.

qotd: cakebread cab… but what i can usually afford is more like calcu (chilean cab, carm, cab f blend) or mr black’s concoction (australian shiraz/ viognier blend)

Good show today. Glad Sara could find a way to stop by and have some fun. Its always interesting to see a new drinker taste different wines along with you and see their reactions. QOTD: Icicle Ridge Winery’s Asian Pear wine. So smooth and wonderful flavor to it.

This was probably the most engaging guest I have seen who was not a full time professional in the wine trade. Very good rapport between the two of you.

QOTD – Tough to decide, but I guess Riesling.

she really came with the big guns knowing her stuff. but she watches the show so i assume she learned it all (or most) from GaryVee. sick ass wrist band i wish i could get one of the yellow ones. FO SHO the best ones. i cant find them anywhere. if im stupid email me and tell me where to get them. if i cant buy them im in a contest right now to get all of the shwag. love when you have guests. love when they are winery people like im getting the insider scoop, but also when they are normal people like me because its more what i might like. and when its just GaryVee i feel like im just learning (which is a good thing) because i know what to say to make me sound smart with wine.

Q-Italian reds, I know that’s not very specific, but there are so many I enjoy.

Awesome show! I love it when Gary has guests that are not all up on wine. I feel like I can relate, cause I definitely do not have Gary’s palate!

QOTD: Casillero Del Diablo – Carmenere 2006….it is definitely my go to wine!

Great show and another fun guest appearance by a Vayniac! Gary, Vayniac of the Week – I’m telling ya! Props to Sara. And by the way, I like the opening of the show now – very nice.

QOTD: Cote Rotie, any time, anywhere. Awesome wines.

With all the new wines that I’m experiencing with the help of the THUNDER SHOW, I really don’t think I could possibly stick to one for ANY length of time!

Just one? My favorite changes monthly, weekly, daily. Cote du Rhone is my current love. Don’t ask me to be too specific.

I’m going to keep my opinions about this show to myself and just get on with the QOTD: Chateau la Nerthe, 2001 – present, 2001 being my favorite. I just wish I had picked up more of it, especially with the way that Chataneu du Pape prices have gone up.

QOTD: A few weeks ago I had this fantastic Italian Montepulciano at a local Italian Restaurant. I have to admit, that was one of the best wines that I have ever had.

QOTD- Coudelet de Beaucastel- great mix old and new world and fits so many palates and is only like 30 bucks.
Great Job Sara and keep bringing on the guests. You should have a local guest on, I don’t know, someone who lives, like, in SPringfield off SHort Hills Avenue, just a short walk from the store. I could be there in mere minutes, I mean, that guest could be there in mere minutes.

QOTD: My favourite wine? Depends on my mood. I love me some Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc (white) and Amon-Ra (red).
