QOTD: BBQ with friends tomorrow afternoon, fireworks at night. Keg of Bud Light, my favorite in the category. Should be awesome, wish other vayniacs could be here!

Yoooooooo Geeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!! Just got a glimpse of da show !!
Will watch tomorrow !! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TA Y’ALL !!!!!!!!
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

QOTD: Happy 4th, Big G!! Sadly, I’m working… and my family is 3000 miles away. BUT, I’ll be visiting them in 2 months- can’t wait!

Renovating my house and having dinner with some food en wine friends this weekend. Great show btw, just found you through itunes and you are rocking my ipod at the moment.

You’ve got a fan from Belgium!!

Aloha, I just wanted to vent a bit about shipping costs. I live in Hawaii, and I am a big fan of the show; therefore, I wanted to order a “Mott..Link it up!” T-shirt. However, as usual, we get reemed on shipping just because we live on an island in the Pacific. If I’m not mistaken, the only shipping option on a $15 T-shirt is $23 to Hawaii. As mentioned, I am just venting and I understand the current shipping costs. However, please let me know if there is a cheaper/more feasible way for those of us in Hawaii to order stuff from you. Mahalo.

Living in Ireland I don’t get a chance to taste much Pinot Noir from Oregan but I was in the states in Feb and i picked up a bottle of Lemelson Thea’s Pinot Noir. You pretty much described what I drank. It was interesting but nothing like any Pinot Noir I’d drank before, I was wondering if all Pinot’s from Oregan/Washington are of a similar style. I’m guessing from your reviews maybe not.

Keep up the good work.

Great show…Luden’s throat drops, oh the good ol’ days, I am pretty sure they serve no medical purpose only yummy deliciousness.

QOTD: Unfortunately, I won’t be celebrating with my own family, but I will be celebrating my boyfriend’s aunt’s 70th birthday today. And, tomorrow I am doing a 4th of July style hamburger cookout in my small Swiss village with some friends. Happy 4th of July everyone!!!!!!!!

Gary,

Great show, I’ll be ordering the Boedecker real soon. I’ll be spending the holiday with my awesome wife. The shout out for my 50th was such a hoot. Thanks. Happy & safe 4th of July celebration to all ! If the 4th is just another day for you, celebrate anyway !!

Gary

Gary – those dot candies you mentioned – are those the ones that are dots of candy on strips of white paper ???
Well… if so, they are an old candy type called shoe buttons from the time when they wore high-buttoned shoes.
This weekend with the family – no definite plans but we might just have a casual cook-out type deal.
Have a good holiday yourself.
Michael

Yo G, Great ta see some Looove for da Pinot !!
YA DRINK NO NOIR…….YA PINOT NOIR…… 🙂

QOTD: Some Friends invited me over for a BBQ, will be
chillin’ & sippin’ mooooochooooo Vino……. 🙂

QOTD: I’m hanging out with my peeps tonight at a BBQ, and then chilling for the rest of the weekend. And hit the gym once or twice. 🙂

So Gary, when are you going to do a Canadian wine show? Lots of shows dedicated to wines from around the world… yet the Canadian contingent has been seriously lacking! 🙂

QOTD…. Stampede time in Calgary! Yahoo!!

QOTD- Heading to Lake Michigan for week with inlaws.

Another great show. I second the letter read. You have given us all so much knowledge that we use to impress others and to just enjoy the wine we drink so much more. Keep it up.

We went to the blues fest in Portland.
Thanks again Gary for the cupcake.

Great show! Have you tried or heard of Cristom cellars– they make a great Oregon pinot noir in the same $$ range.

QOTD– Going to the St. Paul rodeo for some all-american fun!!!

I have a question for Gary– How did you like your visit to Oregon? Did you enjoy the Thunder Storms?

Excellent show, Gary. I am so excited about Oregonian pinot…I’ll have to check the Boedecker out.

QOTD: I have chef duty, so I am cooking the usual Independence Day fare on the grill. Couple that with some great wine and family and it is going to be a great weekend.

Luden’s Cough Drops… one of my favorites. I’ll be looking for the Boedecker when I travel through Oregon up to Portland.
qotd: It’s been quiet, busy and smoky here in California on the 4rth weekend.

i’m already on sunday so i’ll tell you what i’ve done/did/doing: apartment shopping, sweating in the summer humidity, meet with good friends, make some AWESOME curry for me and the wify.

Great Show! We’ve been fans of Boedecker Cellars for years. I can vouch for their quality across the board. They have mad skills. If you order from them, get a few bottles of their rose and purity chardonnay too. Just incredible!
They’re one of the invited winemakers at IPNC (http://www.ipnc.org) this month.
If you’re coming to IPNC or find yourself in the Willamette Valley/McMinnville area, you can buy their wines at Roths Market in McMinnville right across from the event.
This weekend? Repairing our hacked website but squeezing in a mtn bike ride in Falls City and a few bottles of the aforementioned rose. So it’s not a total loss…

Went camping at Normandy Farms right next Gillette Stadium…your favorite stadium Gary…LOL.

Love the Pinots from ORE!
Have not had any of these, except I have had Siduri from both CA and ORE and I have liked it.

QOTD – Had family over the entire weekend and had a great time!

QOTD: Me and the family just returned from four days of camping in New Hampshire. So as I catch up on the long weekend’s e-mail I watch the last episode of WLTV I missed.

Gary,

A lurker makes his first post! After watching 10 episodes I came to realize you taste a lot of f***ing wine. Forty Malbecs in a week? Question of the day for you: What wines do you drink at home?

As for my July 4th I had a friend get us access to the Cabrillo National Monument after hours with his high security pass and got to watch all the fire works for down town San Diego, CA from a cliff overlooking the Pacific. I hope yours was equally amazing. And from the bottom of my heart thank you for such a passionate wine show. Your commitment really shows.

Mike Nelson

QOTD: cooking up some reindeer.

Thanks Gary

A screwtop – good on them; they do sound like they care about their wine. Coming from Australia I still can’t believe so many US wines are still produced under cork.

QOTD: Well it’s Monday so … the weekend just gone was about a spectacular afternoon on a friend’s junk in Aberdeen Harbour Hong Kong. “Next weekend” I’ll be back in Australia an getting very excited my trip to the Claire Valley next Monday morning.

Cheers
Andrew
