QOTD: Sorry Bro don’t do drinking games….never needed a game to get me to drink….. 😉

Can’t help with the QOTD. I’m all about responsible drinking. Like drinking when I’m lonely, drinking when I’m depressed, drinking when I’m bored, etc. I would never, EVER, turn it into a game. 🙂

Contest: Gotta go with #3

I really enjoy Gigondas wines. I spent a few days there in 2006 and got a great appreciation for the wines. It is also a nice place to visit. Lots of good tasting opportunities.

QOTD – I like anything that teaches me about wines, whether it is questions about wines, regions, wineries, or if it relates to trying to describe wines (grape, region, vintage, etc.). Anything would be fun.

QOTD: This is so easy to do…anytime you say Jets you drink….when you mention Kellen Clemmens you drink what’s left in your glass…..when you say anything to do with the playoffs or super bowl…finish the bottle…..

Good episode, although the server was not too kind to me.
I was introduced to Gigondas in 1997 by a French colleague.
I have been a fan since!

QOTD – not big on drinking games, it takes the pleasure out of drinking for quality.

QOTD. Has anybody suggested blind tasting and trying to identify the wine? Isn’t that the grandaddy of drinking games? How about tasting a wine and trying to describe it and score it as Gary would. For example, would Gary describe the nose as oregano or celery stick, twizzler or cool aid, etc.? (Has anybody compiled a list of Gary’s unusual descriptors?)

Nice show on the big “G”. I’ve always enjoyed Gigondas as a less expensive alternative to CDP (although, as you say, not so much any more).

QOTD: I’m told old for drinking games. 😉

Thanks so much for the shout out Gary, we just got back from are honeymoon to the Dominican Republic, we had a really great time and missed WLTV!!

Vote#1, absolutely perfect.

Just returned from France 2 days ago….was in Gigondas and tasted the Montirius there! I fell in love….not only with the wine but the town could not be more beautiful…it is absolutely perfect.

A. bravo on the gigondas episode. it was the wine that got me hooked on the southern rhone. guigal fell where i thought its 04 would… not horrible, not amazing.
B. those are fightin’ words about savage and hogan
C. i have lots to catch up on. i have been away for almost weeks. vacation in the cape w/ family/ lobster and a car full of whites… woooooo! i almost brought my chapoutier, chante alouette ‘ 98.
D. looking forward to the rest of the episodes i missed. i caught this one first because i luv the gigondas

QOTD >>>> duh
watch star wars and every time luke is a pussy, you have to drink…. especially when he does not want to go to town for power converters

QOTD: Drinking game… Hm… “Gary Pounds it”. Drink a shot, (but then spit it back out into a bucket) for every time Gary pounds the table. 😉

Rhone Valley, awesome job giving the people what they want. Sorry, I have dissapeared. New job, different schedule.

I leave town for a week and miss the chance to vote on the Bottle Shock contest.

Number 3 had an impressive big ass glass but Number 1 is definitely my favorite.

QOTD: I was going to come up with my own but I like Colin’s

Oh, Gary, I hate to tell you this, but that is a $220 crystal glass!
BV stands for “Bottega del Vino”. I found a site selling it for a small fortune:

Hope someone sends you more glasses!

Ok, so its a $55 dollar glass ($220/4), but still …

Snake Eyes Whhhat?!?! Hilarious! Loving the Gigondas

Great energy, as per usual. I’ll look up Gigondas , for sure.
Gotta go with # 3.

Iâ??m having my first gigondas as I rewatch this show. Itâ??s a 2005 Domain De Carobello Gigondas. I canâ??t identify flavors as well as you. Iâ??m not real high on it. Although I love the raw veggies at the salad bar I think I may not be the biggest fan of the veggie wines. But I think Iâ??m liking it more than past wines that had similar flavors so my palate may be evolving. Iâ??ll see what overnight breathing does for the gigondas.

Gigondas always rocks my face. I’ve been a fan for years. Glad to see you dig the profile of these highly individual wines. You rock, Mr. Vaynerchuk!!!

Another great show about a wine I’d never heard of! QOTD: no, not creative

Is that you gary?

It’s wine, not mouthwash…..

Good stuff. Thanks for bringing another wine to my attention. Def. have to check something out in the future. QOTD: Everytime you give a wine a pass ( or pazzzzzzz), one person has to roll two dice. Whatever number it lands on, thats the number of drinks everyone has to take ( could mean multiple glasses. heck, if you go 0-4 that could mean multiple bottles of wine!).

everytime you stutter, mumble, or fumble your words is a drink, every time you swallow, its two, and when you mention mott, 3
