Good episode.
QOTD: ‘Gay’ is the first thing that comes to mind. They’re good artists and all, but hearing them is like hearing someone rake their fingernails across a chalkboard. It’s painful. I think they’re a little bit pretensious too. Yeah, I’d rather be trapped in a room and forced to listen to .38 Special for 8 days straight, than to hear 1 S&G song.

Hey GV, nice show; sometimes it’s nice to watch a show that’s all business. I’m going to try and find the Argentinian Malbec. QOTD: high school. I used to listen to their greatest hits album ALL the time! Four words: Bridge Over Troubled Water. Keep it real.

QOTD: feeling groovy

Hey GV, I’m a relatively new vayniac – but from what I’ve seen, you’re killing it. You’ve mentioned in several episodes that varietal wines are only required to contain >75% of that grape. If I’m trying to explore new varietals, should I be looking for single varietal wines, or are blends better for certain grapes?

QOTD: It just reminds me of my parents – they used to tell me how great S&G were when I was 4 or 5 but I never really heard them. I have to say, after last nights repeats I agree with them.

How about instead of Raspberry spray, it’s Chambord spray? Technically it’s black raspberries and blackberries, but it is a raspberry flavored liquor.

Very nice Ep Gary. Tried the Gaudou (Waiting for Gadot? } Cahors based on Alec’s reco and it certainly is a lovely bottle rolling in at just 8 bones. QOTD: Most immediately I think of Americana – that they have been around for forty-plus years and their songs are like indelible images in sepia tones in a family album; classic like baseball and apple pie. We saw S&G in concert in NYC a couple years ago, and they were incredible. Too many favorite songs so I won’t bore you with a list.

QOTD: I think of how for some reason I especially love to listen to them now, during the autumn/winter time. Also how I keep putting off getting the Columbia Studio Recordings box set

QOTD: WTF?! Surprising QOTD! What made you think of that? I love their music! Instantly makes me think of a young Dustin Hoffman in the pool scene on The Graduate. Great movie and great WLTV episode.
