wow, way to bring the thunder guys. as for the qotd, I don’t know all that much about specific vintages and regions. but I’ve found that talking with my friends, the south american and spanish wines are overlooked by far. Everyone seems to think california a lot and people have discovered australia and new zealand now. but I’ve had two spanish wines recently and they brought the thunder big time. and it wasn’t anything that anyone was saying I need to go buy. so that’s what makes me think that it is still largely undiscovered.

I would say this is one of the best WLTV episodes ever. Very well done!! Gary, you need to be on Food Network. Nice Job

Gary, you and Jim Cramer did a fabulous job on episode 499. Loved seeing you both taste the four wines and your reactions to them, especially the Dow’s 1977 Port. Gary, you treat your guests so well and show them a lot of care and respect while they sit beside you.

Can’t wait until episode 500 is shown on Monday.

Your fellow wine enthusiast,

Neil

Great Show! Definitely lived up to the hype. I had to watch it a couple times over a couple days. Jim was a great guest- I can actually see the wheels turning in his head. Good to see him with a buzz on: did you guys taste some wine before the show? Anyhoo, very entertaining. Hopefully we can see some more investment driven shows.

QOTD: Not sure if I understand it, or if Jim’s question applies, but what if the investment wine was corked:( Then you would definitely have a problem.

Looking forward to that sniffy-sniff wristband:)

Well I beg to differ,

The used cars salesman hard sell approach exemplified by Cramer is really annoying and blahhh, plus he is SOOOOOOOOOO damn loud (Roseanne anyone…), he must think he’s doing an informercial for retards, sorry, absolutely no cigar (whatever the price for the stoogie, Cramer.

Great show with lots of energy. A special shout out to my dad who in honor of my birthyear, 1977, purchased lots of those ports decades ago. We’ve enjoyed many over the years and still have a few full bottles of Dows, Warres, Fonseca, etc to enjoy on my 35th, 40th, and 50th birthdays.
I’m hoping the 2007 Sauternes will be just as good for my daughter (cause it won’t be the bordeauxs!)

Gary and crew: great show. Honestly, I still watch religiously but have not posted in a long time. I live and work in Des Moines, IA, and I have to say I have talked to more WLTV fans in the last month than I ever thought possible. Congrats on everything. I love the concept of the “wine as investment” show, and it’s great to see Mr. Cramer along for the ride. What do you think the trend toward wines of immediate consumption will have on the wine investment market? Even the 2005 Bordeaux I have been privelaged enough to try have been decidedly open and leaning toward “California” in style. I worry that these and most other wines are steadily losing their ability to age and could really undermine wine as a long-term investment.

Two of my favorite personalities talking about two of my favorite things. It does not get any better than that. And wine seems to calm down Jim a bit. QOTD – To me, wine is for drinking and not for investing, so I don’t want to short any of it.

Good show!

QOTD. Interesting question. Many wines decrease in value with age. For example, I think somebody (maybe Robert Parker) said the Beaujolais Nouveau should be consumed within twenty minutes of leaving the winery. But why would anybody lend you a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau knowing that it wouldn’t be returned for a few years? It will taste terrible then. The trick would be to short a bottle of wine whose *economic* value will decrease, but whose *gustatory* value will hold or improve, so that somebody might be willing to lend you a bottle. That suggests shorting a kind of wine that might go out of fashion. Maybe over-oaked excessively alcoholic fruit bombs? Alternatively, there are some white wines that will improve with time (up to a point), but most people these days seem to think that whites should be consumed as young as possible, so that might suggest another kind of wine whose economic value might decline while its gustatory value increases.

Oh my god, now this is probably my most favorite WLTV episode. Now you see that wine is not just for drinking, it could be a money maker for the owner 05 Bordeaux for the wiiiiin!!!!

Great show, fun to watch both of you and Jim C. was terrific as a guest. Thanks for doubling the thunder in this episode.

As always, a great show. However, when speaking of investment wines, I wish Gary would elaborate more on wine storage. If a wine is stored at less than ideal temperatures, would it not compromise the value of the wine? I live in Hawaii where the average temperature is probably 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and if a wine storage unit here is unreliable or inconsistent, I would think that the integrity of the wine would be affected.

poor student never got into Cramer, but it is clear that he has star quality and talent, no doubt, Gary man loved the show but why dont you drink with your guest. Nobody likes to get drink by themselves you know , kinda feel uncomfortable
