QOTD: Both, but if I had to choose, more expensive (which I’m arbitrarily taking to mean higher quality – don’t hit; I know that’s not always true!…) less often.

Oh, and, Mary Ann…….

QOTD1: Everyday wine (less expensive; still a lot of quality stuff out there).
QOTD2: Lovie.

Gary!
I love rootbeer…I like it mixed with cream soda…the best! Sarsaparilla!!:)
Easy melons? hahaha

QOTD: Its all about quality…whichever is better! Cheap wine thats good is awesome..but if its just a lot of bad grape juice..whats the point? Expensive wine..only if you really enjoy it..otherwise, save your money!!! Quality beats price point!

Marianne with a hint of Ginger…

Right now, more wine at lower price points works for me.

Man, I love the road trip shows, so much fun! QOTD: I’m cheap, but I guess I drink less of less expensive good wine (I know thats not an answer). I also drink whiskey and beer, so I keep it mixed up.

QOTD — At this point, more wine, less $ per bottle. Most of what I drink is in the $10 range. I’ve come to like having wine with dinner, and without it something seems missing. Plus its fun to try a lot of different cheap wines and once in a while hit a decent one. Then again, I really haven’t drunk much expensive wine, so I may not know what I’m missing. It would be nice to be able to drink $15-25 wines on a regular basis, but that day is far in the future.

QOTD – drink more wine of better quality and flavor, regardless of price. For example, if I were a cheapskate dog pounder, I might go for one of the Pumari wines from Robert Talbott. Family owned, (but purchased grapes), from a renowned producer of legendary proportion. But much better would be Three Legged Red from Eric Dunham winery in Walla Walla. A Tribute to his rescued dog Port, it was my fave $20 bottle for several years. Money no object, I’d go for Delectus’ Dog Gone Good Napa red@ $50. Browns fans take note. and to you, Gv, I say two things. Braylon Edwards, and Kellen Winslow.

several points – GV, the cool climate of the Lake Erie AVA, while protective of the vines, does not, IMHO, make Ohio P.N. any more defendable. It is not. However, the wine of Wes Gerlosky at Harpersfield, which were somewhat slagged a bit by you in the past, are more often than not a delicious and remarkable paean to Alsatian and Burgundian styles and techniques. I once had a barrel sample of a Kerner he was making, and it smelled uniquely of Basil. I’ve been and ardent supporter of his for 20 years,now, since I waited tables in a fancy jazz place.
Also working against us Ohioans, is the control state status, with prices significantly higher than the national average. (Boo.)

Hey, Gary, I found some Arizona made wines that I am going to send to the show, but I need to wait until the temp drops below 1,000,000 degrees, probably Oct.

Fun road show.

QOTD 1:Less often with better wine. I fall in the $15 – $50 category and will spend up to $100 for a very special occasion. Still like to find wines with good QPR. I don’t mind a high price if the wine really “Brings the Thunder”

QOTD 2: Mary Ann & Ginger.

GV and Marianne, Thanks for shoting from the Stadium

I’m not digging the stadium, it seemed awkward standing and the lighting sucked. I dunno something seemed really awkward about the whole episode. But I liked the guest, Mary Anne (sp) you did a great job! Gary, let her talk a little more.

QOTD: I think this is a good question, I think we need more like these. The way I see it is that no matter how much I’m spending the probability that I will like the wine is the same. Until I know a little more about my own palate, I’m not going to risk $20 on a wine when I know I’m just as likely to like the $5 Malbec or Chenin Blanc. Plus, buying cheaper wine lets me taste more wine and hergo expanding my palette and getting to know what I like so I can read the reviews and maybe splurge on something that costs a little more.

Wine Not?
How awesome to finally see the episode in the stadium! I caught you on U-Stream right afterward and also saw some of Noah’s video prior to taping but was wondering exactly what you drank there. Now I know! I just visited Ferrante on the way home this week and totally agree about their ice wine (their restaurant was fabulous, too). Thanks for mixing it up, as you always do!

QOTD 1: How about quality wine ALL the time, sometimes pricey, sometimes screaming value?

QOTD 2: Scrap the women….it’s the Professor FTW! The geeks run the world!!!!!

Nice show. QOTD: Less of more expensive wine; Mary Ann. How about a show on wine asseccories, say various decanters and the differences between them, methods to preserve a half open bottle of red for a few days (vacu-vin, etc.) and so on.

PS: Not a fan of any type of dog that will sit in a bucket.

I was an Acid head in the 60’s More decent less expensive wine, got to shop for it it’s out there. And Ginger I like them a little slutty.

Although I could give a squat about football, I did enjoy the video from OH. I actually thought the guest did a relatively good job, and added her flavor to the production. (Geez-Lousie……..does everybody have to be an expert?). As my palate only stretches so far, I settle for a wine that taste good, (for me), at a reasonable cost. [I am found in the $6.00 to $25.00 range, and I have no problem making my palate smile big time].

This is too easyâ€“Mary Ann with lots of low price good wine. I have no desire to even try an expensive bottle of wine.

QTOD: More cheap wines that taste good

Everyday wines are the best

QTOD2: Neither, the professors wife

QOTD 1 – I think maybe more of wine that is good – regardless of price. There are so many $15 bottles that are better than $30 ones. So that’s what I choose. But if I had to choose one of your answers, less of the expensive (better) wine.
QOTD 2 – Mary Ann
August 15, 2008

Purple Tooth
Great show and super guest. QOTD: I’d rather drink better wine all the time. Unfortunately I can’t do that, so I drink good wine when I can, and cheaper wine the rest of the time. Since I’m a female I have no preference for Mary Ann or Ginger. I’ll just choose between Tom Cruise or Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp it is.

J-E-T-S… JETS JETS JETS!!! Are you saving the last episode filmed at Giants stadium for a Jets game?

Didnt care for the episode…(The gal didnt strike me as a Wine Educator). Chateau La Paws with Pork…I know that wine and it would kill a roast pig. It was a good effort and fun, (kinda…lol) didnt work. Football stadium thing is good and yes everbody has a different palate G.V.

Hey … you dont try you never know and you have to appeal to many people…Right??? Keep it going man….
